FSE 118 EMBALMING ANATOMY FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
Histology
Study of the body with the aid of a microscope
Systemic Anatomy
Study of individual body organs and systems (i.e. Digestive or Respiratory)
Regional Anatomy
Study of a particular body region as a seperate unit (i.e. head or chest)
Developmental Anatomy (Embryology)
Study of developmental changes of the body before birth
Pathological Anatomy
Studying the structural and functional changes which occur as a result of disease
Topographical Anatomy
Study of the surface shape and form of the human body, and using the surface form to
locate underlying structures
Nucleus
Controls most cellular activites: reproduction, protein syntheses, and contains the cell's
genetic material
Cytoplasm
Lies below the nucleus and the cell membrane and contains: ribisomes, mitochondria,
lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and centrioles
,Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell which produce energy
Lysosomes
Contains enzymes which digest substances brought into the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Series of membranes forming canals which transport nutrients and other materials
through the cell
Centrioles
important in cell division/reproduction
Loose Areolar Connective Tissue
Variety of scattered, irregular fibers embedded in a soft, gel-like base (hyaluronic acid)-
serves as the "glue" that underlies and binds together many other body tissues
Adipose Tissue
Type of connective tissue specialized for storing fat
Fibrous Connective Tissue
Strong, fibrous bundles of tissue, which provides strength and support- includes
tendons, ligaments, and fascia
Bone
Hardened, calcified connective tissues
Cartilage
Made up of a softer more flexible consistency than bone
, Muscle Tissue
Responsible for the movement of body parts
Nervous Tissue
Receives stimuli, conducting impulses, and having overall control of the various bodily
functions
Supine
Laying face up, palms up, and feet straight
Sagittal Plane
Vertical division of the body into right and left portions
Frontal/ Cornal Plane
vertical plane dividing the body or structure into anterior and posterior portions (front
and back)
Horizontal (Transverse) Plane
Plane dividing the body into superior and inferior portions (top and bottom)
Medial
Refers to something which is located toward the midline (opposite of lateral)
Lateral
Refers to a location towards the sides of the body or body part (opposite of medial)
Superior/Cranial/Cephalic
Refers to something located toward the head or upper body (opposite of inferior/caudal)
Inferior/Caudal
Refer to something located towards the "tail" or lower part of the body (opposite of
superior/cranial)
