What is a tissue?
group of cells with a common function (epithelial, connective, muscle,
nervous)
11 Organ systems:
1. Integumentary 7. Urinary/Excretory
2. Skeletal 8. Endocrine
3. Muscular 9. Lymphatic
4. Cardiovascular 10. Nervous
5. Respiratory 11. Reproductive
6. Digestive ? 12. Immune
Describe a homeostatic mechanism that works using negative feedback.
o Regulation of body temperature- hypothalamus senses change in body
temperature (too high or too low) and negative-feedback system returns
body to normal temperature
o Control of blood sugar (glucose) levels- receptors in the body sense a rise in
blood sugar levels and the pancreas releases insulin
other examples: blood pressure
The elbow joint is distal to the:
a. wrist b. fingers
c. shoulder d. thumb
The navel is superior to the:
a. chin b. nose
c. knees d. neck
What is the difference between a parasagittal plane and a midsagittal
plane?
Parasagittal plane- divides the body into unequal left and right portions
Midsagittal plane- divides the body into equal left and right sides
Define the following terms
1. midsagittal plane: divides body into equal left and right sides
2. homeostasis: maintaining relatively stable equilibrium despite
environmental changes
3. histology: study of tissues
4. tissue: group of cells with a common function
5. metabolism: range of biochemical processes; breakdown of food to
energy
The two pleural cavities contain which organs?
a. Heart b. intestines
c. Kidneys d. lungs
, Which of the following is not contained in the mediastinum?
a. Stomach b. trachea
c. Esophagus d. aorta
Provide the body region for each anatomical term below.
Hallux: big toe Olecranon: back of elbow
Carpal: wrist Cervical: neck
Calcaneal: heel Acromial: shoulder
Lumbar: lower back Mental: chin
Sacral: lowest part of spine Buccal: cheek
Provide the anatomical term for each body region below.
Bottom (sole) of foot: plantar
Shoulder blade: scapular
Thumb: pollux
Hip: coxal
Neck: cervical
Arm (between shoulder and elbow): brachial
Ear: otic (auricle)
Back of head: occipital
Ankle: tarsal
Mouth: oral
The most common form of carbon has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons.
If two more neutrons are added to a carbon atom:
a. it is no longer carbon
b. it has been changed into nitrogen
c. it is an isotope of carbon
d. it is an ion
What is the atomic number of the carbon atom in the question above? 6
Which of the following would have a polar covalent bond?
a. Water (H2O)
