◉ Caudal.
Answer: Describes a position below or lower than another part of
the body proper; near or toward the tail (in humans, the coccyx, or
lowest part of the spinal column); also refer to as inferior
◉ Cell.
Answer: Smallest independently functioning unit of all organisms; in
animals, it contains cytoplasm, composed of fluid and organelles
◉ Control Center.
Answer: Compares values to their normal range; deviations cause
the activation of an effector
◉ Coronal Section.
Answer: Divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or
posterior and anterior) portions; also referred to as frontal portion
◉ Cranial.
, Answer: Describes a position above or higher than another part of
the body proper; also referred to as superior
◉ Cranial Cavity.
Answer: Division of the posterior (dorsal) cavity that houses the
brain
◉ Cross Section.
Answer: In anatomy, a transverse cut through a structure or tissue.
◉ Deep.
Answer: Describes a position farther from the surface of the body
◉ Development.
Answer: Changes an organism goes through during its life
◉ Diaphragm.
Answer: The muscle that separates the chest (thoracic) cavity from
the abdomen and is the main muscle of respiration.
◉ Differentiation.
Answer: Process by which unspecialized cells become specialized in
structure and function
