standing; feet together; arms to the side; with head, eyes, and palms of hands forward
Cells - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The basic structural unit of an organism from which
living things are created
Cellular Functions - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Processes that include growth, metabolism,
replication, protein synthesis, and movement
Body Cavities - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- spaces within the body that contain and protect
internal organs
Organ Systems - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Functional groups of organs that work together
within the body: Circulatory, integumentary, skeletal, reproductive, digestive, urinary,
respiratory, endocrine, lymphatic, muscular, nervous; 11 total
Organelle - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A specialized part of a cell that has a specific
function
Organ - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A self-contained part of an organism that performs a
specific function
Reference Planes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Planes dividing the body to describe
locations: sagittal, coronal, and transverse
Sagittal/Lateral Plane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A vertical plane running from front to
back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides; Left/Right division
,Coronal/Frontal Plane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A vertical plane running from side to
side; divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions; Front/Back
division
Transverse/Axial Plane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A horizontal plane; divides the body or
any of its parts into upper and lower parts; Top/Bottom division
Tissue - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A group of cells with similar structure that function
together as a unit, but at a lower level than organs

Endoplasmic Reticulum - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The transport network that is
responsible for the transference of proteins throughout a cell; a network of membranes found
throughout the cell
Golgi Apparatus/Complex - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Packages and sends proteins; Assists
in the transport, but is not the actual transport network
Lysosomes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Break down/digest molecules
Mitochondria - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- ATP Production
, Nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Controls structure, produces ribosomes, and directs
cell

Proximal - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Toward center of body/point of attachment
Distal - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Away from center of body/point of attachment
Alveoli - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Tiny air sacs i the lungs where exchange of oxygen and
carbon dioxide takes place
