ANS:<< making more complex cellular structures from simpler ones
What is catabolism?
ANS:<< breaking down complex cellular structures into simpler ones
Define depression and elevation
ANS:<< Depression: downward movement of a structure; Elevation: upward
movement of a structure
Define protraction and retraction
,ANS:<< Protraction: movement of a structure in the anterior direction;
Retraction: movement of a structure in the posterior direction

Which tissue covers the body surface and lines the cavities of the body?
ANS:<< Epithelial tissue
Name the three steps in cellular respiration
ANS:<< 1) glycolysis 2) citric acid cycle 3) electron transport chain
What is the purpose of ATP?
ANS:<< ATP is a very energy rich molecule that powers the cellular activities
allowing cells to carry out their necessary functions
Epithelial cells perform what types of functions?
ANS:<< Secretion and absorption. These cells are under constant cell division to
replace dead cells that shed away
What are the four basic tissue types?

ANS:<< Flexion
Opening of a joint is which action?
ANS:<< Extension
In anatomical position, are the hands in supination or pronation?
ANS:<< Supination
Why are the hands in supination?
ANS:<< Because the bones of the forearm (radius/ulna) are uncrossed in the
supinated position
This body division includes the head, neck, and trunk?
ANS:<< Axial division
This is a vertical plane that divides the body into right and left parts
ANS:<< Sagittal plane
These planes lie vertically and divide the body into anterior and posterior parts
ANS:<< Frontal plane
A transverse plane divides the body into these two parts:
, ANS:<< Superior and inferior
These cuts/sections are made diagonally between the horizontal and vertical
planes.
ANS:<< Oblique
This body cavity protects the nervous system.
ANS:<< Dorsal cavity
This body cavity encases the brain.
ANS:<< Cranial cavity
This cavity encloses the spinal cord.
ANS:<< Spinal cavity
The frontal plane is also known as the plane.
ANS:<< Coronal plane
The ventral body cavity is divided into these two cavities:
ANS:<< Abdominopelvic and thoracic
This cavity encloses the heart:
ANS:<< Pericardial cavity
The outer surfaces of the organs and body cavities are covered by this double
layered membrane called the
ANS:<< Serosa
What is pleurisy?
ANS:<< Inflammation of the pleura, which impairs lubricating function which
causes pain when breathing. It is caused by pneumonia and other diseases of
the chest or abdomen.
