VERIFIED ANSWERS|ACTUAL COMPLETE EXAM|
ALREADY GRADED A+
anatomy ✔Correct Answer-the study of form and structure
physiology ✔Correct Answer-the study of body functions
anatomical position ✔Correct Answer-means that the upper body is standing erect, face forward,
with the upper limbs at the side and the palms forward.
homeostasis ✔Correct Answer-a state of balance in which the body's internal environment
remains in the normal range
anterior/ventral ✔Correct Answer-pertaining to the front
posterior/dorsal ✔Correct Answer-toward the back
superior ✔Correct Answer-a body part that is above another part or is closer to the head
inferior ✔Correct Answer-below another body part or towards the feet
medial ✔Correct Answer-toward or near the midline
lateral ✔Correct Answer-pertaining to the side
Midsagittal/ median plane ✔Correct Answer-a plane that lies directly in the midline making two
exact halves
Frontal planes ✔Correct Answer-divide the body into anterior and posterior parts
Transverse plane ✔Correct Answer-runs horizontally from right to left, dividing the body into
superiour and inferior parts
Sagittal Plane ✔Correct Answer-a vertical plane that divides the body into right and left parts
negative feedback mechanism ✔Correct Answer-a mechanism activated by an imbalance that
corrects the imbalance
Cranial Cavity ✔Correct Answer-in the skill, encases the brain
Vertebral/Spinal Cavity ✔Correct Answer-runs within the bony vertebral column, encloses the
delicate spinal cord
Thoracic Cavity ✔Correct Answer-surrounded by the ribs and muscles of the chest, contains heart
and lungs
, Abdominal Cavity ✔Correct Answer-contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver and other
organs
Abdominopelvic Cavity ✔Correct Answer-contains the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity
Pelvic Cavity ✔Correct Answer-contains the urinary bladder, some reproductive organs and the
rectum
Serous Membrane ✔Correct Answer-a thin, double-layered membrane lining the walls of the
ventral body cavity and the outer surfaces of the organs it contains
Positive feedback mechanism ✔Correct Answer-the result or response enhances the original
stimulus so that the response is accelerated
CT/computed tomography ✔Correct Answer-Uses refined x-ray equipment. Translates info into a
detailed, cross-sectional picture of each bod region scanned. Usually used when examining brain and
abdomen. Greatest value has been its ability to virtually eliminate exploratory surgery.
PET/positron emission tomography ✔Correct Answer-Excels in observing metabolic processes. The
patient is given an injection of radioisotopes tagged to biological molecules (such as glucose) and
then placed in the scanner. As the radioisotopes are absorbed by the most active brain cells, high-
energy gamma rays are produced. The computer analyzes the gamma rays and produces a live-action
picture of the brains biochemical activity in vivid colors. Greatest value has been its ability to provide
insight into the brain activity of people with mental illness, stroke, Alzheimer's, etc.
MRI/magnetic resonance imaging ✔Correct Answer-Produces high-contrast images of our soft
tissues. Primarily maps the body's content of hydrogen, most of which is in water. It distinguishes
body tissues based on their water content, so it can differentiate between the fatty white matter and
the more watery gray matter of the brain. Particularly good at detecting tumors and degenerative
deseases. Also, multiple sclerosis plaques are dazzlingly clear. This technique subjects the body to
magnetic fields up to 60,000 times stronger than that of the earth to pry information from the body's
molecules.
Water ✔Correct Answer-Most abundant and important inorganic compound in living material.
Makes up 60-80% of the volume of most living cells.
Properties of Water ✔Correct Answer-1. High heat capacity
2. High heat of vaporization
3. Polar solvent properties
4. Reactivity
5. Cushioning
Acids ✔Correct Answer-a substance that releases hydrogen ions and anions. Regarded to as Proton
Donors.
Bases ✔Correct Answer-Dissociate to produce hydroxide ions and canionc. Proton acceptors.
pH ✔Correct Answer-the measure of the acidity or basicity of the solution or substance, or the
measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in it. Scale -> 1-14. 1-6 Acidic, 7 Neutral, 8-14 Basic
