1. What is human anato- study of the shape and structure of the human body and its parts
my?
2. What is human physi- the study of the functions, or workings, of the human body
ology?
3. What are cells? Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
4. What are tissues of the epithelia, connective, muscular, nervous
body?
5. what is an organ A group of di�erent tissues that work together to perform a certain
function.
6. What is a body sys- a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions
tem?
7. superior/inferior above (closer to head) / below (closer to feet)
8. anterior/posterior toward the front / back of the body
9. medial/lateral toward the midline / away from the midline
10. super�cial/deep toward or at the body surface / away from the body surface
11. proximal/distal nearer the trunk or attached end / farther from the trunk or point of
attachment
12. visceral/parietal refers to internal organs / refers to body cavity walls.
13. sagittal plane vertical division of the body into right and left portions
14. midsagittal plane divides the body into equal left and right halves
15. transverse plane line that divides the body into upper and lower sections
,16. frontal/coronal plane vertical plane dividing the body or structure into anterior and posterior
portions
17. cranial (dorsal cavity) contains the brain
18. spinal (dorsal cavity) contains the spinal cord
19. dorsal (body cavity) contains the cranial cavity and spinal column
20. ventral (body cavity) contains all the structures within the chest and abdomen
21. thoracic cavity cavity housing lungs and heart
22. abdominal cavity Contains stomach, intestines, spleen, and liver, and other organs
23. pelvic cavity Contains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum
24. Di usion de�nition Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area
of lower concentration.
25. Osmosis de�nition di�usion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
26.
, what is the process of Cell division is part of the cell cycle in which a cell grows, prepares for
cell division division, and divides creating daughter cells.
27. What is mitosis? division of the nucleus into two genetically identical daughter nuclei
28. How many pairs of 23 pairs
chromosomes are pre-
sent in the human cell
29. what is meiosis? sexual reproduction
30. What is histology? microscopic study of tissues
31. what are the functions Tissue that covers outside of the body and lines organs and cavities.
of the epithelial tissue
32. what are the functions physical protection, support and structural framework, binding of struc-
of connective tissue tures, storage, transport, immune protection
33. axial plane A horizontal at surface dividing the body into upper and lower parts; aka
transverse plane
34. coronal plane divides body into front and back aka frontal plane
