Questions and CORRECT Answers
anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - the study of structure and the relationships among
structures
gross anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: the study of large
structures
regional anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: studies specific body
region
systemic anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: study of body
systems
surface anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: study of markings on
the body
microscopic anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: study of
structures too small for naked eye: need magnifier
cytology - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of microscopic anatomy: study of cells
histology - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of microscopic anatomy: study of tissue
developmental anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: study of
structural change throughout life
embryology - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of developmental anatomy: study of
formation and development of human (embryo)
,pathological anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: study of changes
in structure due to disease
radiographic anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - subdivision of anatomy: study of
structures using x-rays + other scanning technologies
x-ray - CORRECT ANSWER - light energy that creates images of inside of body (bones
absorb more=white, fat and tissue absorb less=grey)
ct scan - CORRECT ANSWER - computerized tomography scan: light energy through
body, sends signal to computer to create image. more detailed X-ray.
xenon ct scan - CORRECT ANSWER - type of scan enhanced by use of radioactive
element that allows image of active tissue
DSR scan - CORRECT ANSWER - Dynamic Spacial Reconstruction: light energy used to
produce 3D images
DSA - CORRECT ANSWER - digital subtraction angiography: provides image of blood
vessels (shows blood flow)
PET Scan - CORRECT ANSWER - positron emission tomography: uses radiotracers to
show metabolic activity
ultrasound - CORRECT ANSWER - imaging test that uses sound waves projected off the
body to create an image (not detailed)
MRI - CORRECT ANSWER - magnetic resonance imaging: uses magnetic field + radio
waves to create detailed image of soft tissues (organs)
, MRS - CORRECT ANSWER - magnetic resonance spectroscopy: analyzes chemical
makeup of tissue
M2A - CORRECT ANSWER - swallowable pill/imaging capsule (has a mini camera on it)
physiology - CORRECT ANSWER - the study of functions of body parts
chemical - CORRECT ANSWER - level of organization: essentials of life
cellular - CORRECT ANSWER - level of organization: basic functional unit of life
tissue - CORRECT ANSWER - level of organization: group of cells that function together
organ - CORRECT ANSWER - level of organization: group of 2 or more tissue that work
together to perform a particular function
organ system - CORRECT ANSWER - level of organization: 2 or more organs that work
together to complete a function
organism - CORRECT ANSWER - highest level of organization: any living thing
limiting boundaries - CORRECT ANSWER - life process: separates the inside from the
outside (ex: skin)
excitability - CORRECT ANSWER - life process: ability to sense change and respond
conductivity - CORRECT ANSWER - life process: communication of information about
stimuli throughout the body
