Lengthwise plane that divides a structure into anterior and posterior sections

Question 19

Transverse plane

Answer 19

Horizontal plane that divides a structure into upper and lower sections

Question 20

abdominopelvic cavity

Answer 20

Division of the anterior (ventral) cavity that houses the abdominal and pelvic viscera

Question 21

anabolism

Answer 21

Assembly of more complex molecules from simpler molecules

Question 22

anatomical position

Answer 22

Standard reference position used for describing locations and directions on the human body

Question 23

Answer 23

Science that studies the form and composition of the body’s structures

Question 24

catabolism

Answer 24

Breaking down of more complex molecules into simpler molecules

Question 25

caudal

Answer 25

Describes a position below or lower than another part of the body proper

differentiation

Answer 31

Process by which unspecialized cells become specialized in structure and function

Answer 32

Describes the back or direction toward the back of the body; also referred to as posterior

Question 33

effector

Answer 33

Organ that can cause a change in a value

gross anatomy

Answer 34

Study of the larger structures of the body, typically with the unaided eye; also referred to macroscopic anatomy

Growth

Answer 35

Process of increasing in size

Question 36

homeostasis

Answer 36

Steady state of body systems that living organisms maintain

Question 37

Lateral

Answer 37

Describes the side or direction toward the side of the body

Question 38

magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Answer 38

Medical imaging technique in which a device generates a magnetic field to obtain detailed sectional images of the internal structures of the body

Question 39

Metabolism

Answer 39

Sum of all of the body's chemical reactions

Question 40

microscopic anatomy

Answer 40

Study of very small structures of the body using magnification

Question 41

negative feedback

Answer 41

Homeostatic mechanism that tends to stabilize an upset in the body's physiological condition by preventing an excessive response to a stimulus, typically as the stimulus is removed

Question 42

normal range

Answer 42

Range of values around the set point that do not cause a reaction by the control center

Living being that has a cellular structure and that can independently perform all physiologic functions necessary for life

Question 47

Pericardium

Answer 47

Sac that encloses the heart

Question 48

peritoneum

Answer 48

Serous membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity and covers the organs found there
