Anatomy - (ANSWER)The discipline of anatomy is important to understand the link between human
structure and function.
Anatomical Information - (ANSWER)It describes external and internal structures of the body and
considers probable function.
Histology - (ANSWER)The branch of science that studies groups of specialized cells and how they work
together.
Cytology - (ANSWER)The analysis of the smallest units of life.
Surface Anatomy - (ANSWER)The anatomical specialty that refers to the study of general form and
superficial anatomical markings.
Regional Anatomy - (ANSWER)The study of all of the superficial and internal features in a specific area of
the body.
Systemic Anatomy - (ANSWER)The study of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
Embryology - (ANSWER)The study of the early processes during the first two months of development
from conception.
Radiography - (ANSWER)The study of structures through specialized imaging techniques, such as
ultrasounds or x-rays.
Gross Anatomical Specialties - (ANSWER)Includes radiographic and surgical anatomy.
Clinical Anatomy - (ANSWER)The study of anatomical features that may undergo recognizable
pathological changes during illness.

Cross-sectional Anatomy - (ANSWER)A new subspecialty of gross anatomy as new advances, such as
computed tomography, have emerged.
Homeostatic Conditions - (ANSWER)Disease is the failure to maintain homeostatic conditions.
Highest Level of Organization - (ANSWER)The highest level of organization is organs.
Pathology - (ANSWER)The study of disease.
Levels of Complexity - (ANSWER)The correct arrangement of items from highest to lowest level of
complexity is organism, organ system, tissue, cellular, chemical or molecular.
Basic Functions of Living Humans - (ANSWER)Include excretion, metabolism, growth and differentiation,
and movement.
Responsiveness - (ANSWER)The vital ability of an organism to take certain actions when changes occur
in its immediate environment.
Metabolism - (ANSWER)Refers to all the chemical operations under way in the body.
Excretion - (ANSWER)Involves elimination of unnecessary or potentially harmful materials metabolic
waste from the body.
Growth and Differentiation - (ANSWER)Often include specialization of individual cells, increase in cell
size, increase in cell numbers, and changes in form and function.

nervous system - (ANSWER)Directing immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the
activities of other organ systems.
integumentary system - (ANSWER)The major functions are temperature control and protection of the
body from external environmental hazards.
blood cell production - (ANSWER)The primary site is within the skeletal system.
urinary system - (ANSWER)Components include ureters and kidneys.
organ systems - (ANSWER)Anatomical units with related functions, formed by two or more organs, often
large enough to be studied without magnification, interdependent on each other.
thymus - (ANSWER)The primary function is to control the development and maintenance of one class of
lymphocytes.
kidneys - (ANSWER)Primary functions include forming and concentrating urine, regulating blood pH and
ion concentrations, and performing endocrine functions.
reproduction - (ANSWER)The process of creating subsequent generations, either unicellular or
multicellular.
differentiation - (ANSWER)The process of cellular specialization to perform particular functions.
movement - (ANSWER)The property of living things to transport food, blood, or other materials inside
the body.

endocrine system - (ANSWER)Contains glandular structures that direct long-term changes in the
activities of other organ systems.
muscular system - (ANSWER)Allows for locomotion, provides support, and produces heat.
respiratory system - (ANSWER)Allows for gas exchange between the air and circulating blood.
cardiovascular system - (ANSWER)Responsible for the internal transport of cells and dissolved materials,
including nutrients, wastes, and gases.
prone position - (ANSWER)The body is lying in anatomical position face down.
anatomical position - (ANSWER)A person stands with the legs together and the feet flat on the floor,
hands at the sides, and the palms face anteriorly.
frontal (coronal) section - (ANSWER)A plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior sections.
anatomical equivalents - (ANSWER)The directional reference pairs that consist of cranial and caudal.
hypogastric region - (ANSWER)The most inferior of the nine abdominopelvic regions.
mediastinum - (ANSWER)Includes structures such as the esophagus, trachea, and thymus.
visceral pleura - (ANSWER)The serous membrane that covers the outer surface of a lung.
parietal peritoneum - (ANSWER)Lines the body wall within the abdominopelvic peritoneal cavity.
mesenteries - (ANSWER)Provide support and stability to the stomach and small intestine.
