Anatomical position - answerstand erect, facing forward, arms are at the side with palms
facing forward
- feet are parallel and arms and legs are slightly held away from torso
Anatomical planes - answer- coronal/ frontal (front and back)
- transverse/ cross sectional (top and bottom)
- sagittal/ or median (left and right)
Anatomical directions - answeridentifies the location of structures in relation to other
structures
Superior - answertoward the head
Inferior - answeraway from the head
Anterior - answertoward the front
Posterior - answertoward the back (dorsal)
Lateral - answerAway from the midline of the body
Medial - answertoward the midline
Distal - answerfarther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb
to the body trunk
Proximal - answerCloser to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a
limb to the body trunk
Lumbar - answerlower back
Orbital - answereye cavity
Crural - answerleg
, Axillary region - answerthe area in and around the axilla (armpit)
Cephalic - answerpertaining to the head
Occipital region - answerback of head
Respiratory system - answerpreforms critical tasks involved in transporting oxygen from
the atmosphere into the body's cells and removing carbon dioxide from the body's cells
- maximized surface area for gas exchange
Superficial - answerTowards the surface of the body
Deep - answerIs towards the inferiors of the body
Saggital plane - answer
Frontal plane - answerAnterior and posterior divisions
Transverse plane - answerSuperior and inferior divisions
What is blood composed of? - answerPlasma and formed elements
What do larger arteries branch into? - answerIncreasingly smaller arterioles which
eventually connect to a bed of capillaries
Plasma contains - answerStraw colored liquid
- water, plasma proteins, and other nutrients
The 3 formed elements of blood are - answerErythrocytes (RBCs), leukocytes (WBCs),
and platelets
What is the function of hemoglobin? - answerTo carry oxygen from the lungs to the
body's tissues and return carbon dioxide form the tissues back to the lungs
- component of erythrocyte
Leukocyte function - answerImmune response and defends the body against disease
Platelets are responsible for - answerHelping clot the blood along with clotting factors of
plasma
Lymph vessels are - answerThin walled and contain one way valves to maintain flow in
one direction only
- similar to veins
