transverse/cross-sectional Correct Ans:- top/bottom
sagittal/median Correct Ans:- left/right
superior/inferior Correct Ans:- above/ below
anterior/posterior Correct Ans:- front/ back
lateral/medial Correct Ans:- toward the side/ toward the middle
organ system Correct Ans:- functional units compose of several organs
organelle Correct Ans:- a specialized part of a cell that has a specific function;
cell parts that function within a cell
organ Correct Ans:- structures that are composed of several types of tissues and
perform one or more functions
tissue Correct Ans:- a group of cells with similar structure that function together
as a unit but at a lower level than organs
ribosome Correct Ans:- carry out protein synthesis

cell
mitochondria Correct Ans:- convert energy present in chemical bonds of food
accessible to the cell
nucleus Correct Ans:- stores and processes instructions contained in the DNA
that tell the cell what its functions are
cytoskeleton Correct Ans:- movement; consists of microtubules, microfilaments
and intermediate filaments
, smooth endoplasmic reticulum Correct Ans:- lacks ribosomes for protein
synthesis; main functions: lipid metabolism, storage of calcium ions and
detoxification of toxins
respiratory system Correct Ans:- transports oxygen from the atmosphere into the
body's cells and moving CO2 in the other direction

alveoli
cystic fibrosis Correct Ans:- a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and other
organs, characterized by difficulty breathing, coughing up sputum and lung
infections
perfusion Correct Ans:- the passage of fluid to an organ or tissue
pleura Correct Ans:- a membrane around the lungs and inside the chest cavity
surfactant Correct Ans:- a fluid secreted by alveoli and found in the lungs
tidal volume Correct Ans:- the amount of air breathed in a normal inhalation or
exhalation
trachea Correct Ans:- the windpipe, which connects the larynx to the lungs
ventilation Correct Ans:- the movement of air in and out of the body via
inhalation and exhalation
cardiovascular system Correct Ans:- the movement of blood and lymph around
the body which permits nutrient distribution, waste removal, communication and
protection
arteries Correct Ans:- blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to other
parts of the body
capillary Correct Ans:- small blood vessels that connect arterioles to venules
diastole Correct Ans:- the portion of the cardiac cycle in which the heart refills
with blood
heart Correct Ans:- the muscle that pumps blood throughout the body
