Question 1

What are the names of the body cavities?

Answer 1

Posterior which are completely encased by bone (cranial and vertebral cavities); and ventral which is lined with serous membranes (thoracic and abdominopelvic)

Question 2

Visceral membrane:

Answer 2

inner layer that covers internal organs

Question 3

Parietal membrane:

Answer 3

outer layer that lines the visceral membrane

Question 4

Serous membrane:

Atom, molecule, macromolecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism

Question 10

Metabolism has 2 subsections. What are they and define them.

Answer 10

Anabolism: needs energy and it builds units. Catabolism: releases energy and breaks up larger units

Question 11

Answer 12

Anabolism

Question 13

Reproduction has what 2 processes?

Answer 13

Mitosis and meiosis

Question 14

Explain the difference between section and plane.

Answer 14

Section: cut to see internal anatomy; plane: imaginary flat surface that passes through the body

Question 15

Transverse and midsagittal.

Answer 15

Transverse: horizontal cut that divides into inferior and superior; midsagittal: vertical midline cut

Question 16

What is the difference between gross and microscopic anatomy?

Answer 16

Gross anatomy, you can see with your naked eye; microscopic anatomy, you need a microscope.

Question 17

What are the 5 subsections of gross anatomy?

Answer 17

Systemic, regional, surface, comparative, and embryology

Question 18

What are the 2 subsections of microscopic anatomy?

Answer 18

Cytology and histology

Question 19

What is the study of systemic anatomy?

Answer 19

Studying the structure of a body system (cardiovascular, endocrine, etc.)

Question 20

What is the study of regional anatomy?

Answer 20

Studying the structure of everything in a body’s region, regardless of which systems operate there (e.g. focusing on the axillary (armpit))

Question 21

What is the study of surface anatomy?

Answer 21

Studying the structure of organs without seeing them openly (e.g. doctor has to know where to place their stethoscope; people who are CPR trained need to know the heart)

Question 22

What is the study of comparative anatomy?

Answer 22

Comparing the structure of the same type/similar structure of 2 organisms (e.g. comparing a human’s humerus bone to a horse’s)

Question 23

What is the study of embryology anatomy?

Answer 23

Studying structures from conception to birth

Question 24

Coronal plane:

Answer 24

vertical cut that makes anterior and posterior parts
