what is Exploritory Surgery? - CORRECT ANSWER-is a diagnostic method used by
doctors when trying to find a diagnosis for an ailment. It can be performed in both
humans and animals, but it is far more common in animals. It is used most commonly to
diagnose or locate cancer in humans.
What is gross anatomy? - CORRECT ANSWER-Study of structures that can be seen
with the naked eye
What is anatomy? - CORRECT ANSWER-study of structure
What is physiology? - CORRECT ANSWER-Study of function
what is examining? - CORRECT ANSWER-checking, inspecting, studying
what is Cadaver dissection? - CORRECT ANSWER-cutting and separating human body
tissues to reveal tissue relationships
what is Developmental Anatomy? - CORRECT ANSWER-traces structural changes that
occur in the body throughout the life span
What is cytology? - CORRECT ANSWER-study of structure and function of cells
What is histology? - CORRECT ANSWER-study of tissues
What is ultrastructure? - CORRECT ANSWER-refers to fine detail, down to the
molecular level, revealed by the electron microscope
What is histopathology? - CORRECT ANSWER-Microscopic study of diseased tissues.
what are the Subdisciplines of Anatomy? - CORRECT ANSWER-neurophysiology
(study of the nervous system)
Endocrinology (study of hormones)
Pathophysiology (study of disease)
what is comparative physiology? - CORRECT ANSWER-Study of different species to
learn about body function
why anatomy and physiology inseparable? - CORRECT ANSWER-because function
reflects structure.
what the the levels of anatomical organization? - CORRECT ANSWER-(smallest)
, atom
molecule (parings of atoms)
organelle
cell
tissue
organ
organ system
organism
what are the requirements for life? - CORRECT ANSWER-maintaining boundaries,
movement, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction, growth
What are the survival needs of the body? - CORRECT ANSWER-nutrients, oxygen,
water, normal body temperature, appropriate atmospheric pressure
What is homeostasis? - CORRECT ANSWER-process by which organisms maintain a
relatively stable internal environment
What is negative feedback? - CORRECT ANSWER-A PRIMARY mechanism of
homeostasis, whereby a change in a physiological variable that is being monitored
triggers a response that counteracts the initial fluctuation. (Receptor -> Afferent
pathway-> Control center -> Effector pathway ->Effector -> response)
What is positive feedback? - CORRECT ANSWER-Feedback that tends to magnify a
process or increase its output. RARE ( Child birth and blood clotting)
What is the anatomical position? - CORRECT ANSWER-To stand erect with arms at the
sides and palms of the hands turned forward
what are Directional Terms? - CORRECT ANSWER-Terms used to explain where one
body structure is in relation to another
where is Dorsal? - CORRECT ANSWER-toward the back
when is Ventral? - CORRECT ANSWER-Toward the belly
where is Superior - CORRECT ANSWER-above
where is Inferior - CORRECT ANSWER-below
where is Anterior? - CORRECT ANSWER-front
where is Posterior? - CORRECT ANSWER-toward the back
where is medial Medial? - CORRECT ANSWER-Toward the midline of the body
