Question 1: Anterior/Posterior
Answer:
Equivalent to the front and back of a body in anatomical position. A structure that is anterior to another is closer to the front of the body when the body is in anatomical position. A feature that is posterior to another is closer to the back of the body when the body is in anatomical position.
Question 2: visceral
Answer:
Pertaining to an internal organ of the body or inner part of a structure
Question 3: homeostasis
Answer:
A state of equilibrium, or maintenance of a stable internal environment of the body.
Question 4: Cephalic/Caudal
Answer:
Equivalent to closer to the head and closer to the tail. This is more useful for four-legged animals with tails than for upright humans with only a vestigial tail.
Question 5: Thoracic cavity
Answer:
the space occupied by the ventral internal organs superior to the diaphragm.
Question 6: Superficial/Deep
Answer:
Equivalent to closer to the surface and farther from the surface.
Question 7: Pelvic cavity
Answer:
the space occupied by the ventral internal organs that are bordered by the bones of the pelvic girdle.
Question 8: metabolism
Answer:
The chemical changes that occur within the body
Question 9: Anatomy
Answer:
The science of the structure of living things
Question 10: cell
Answer:
The unit of structure and function of living things
Question 11: Ventral/Dorsal
Answer:
Equivalent to belly-side and back-side of a body in anatomical position. For a human in anatomical position, this pair of terms is equivalent to anterior and posterior. However, for four-legged animals in what is considered their anatomical position, the belly-side is not equivalent to the front of the animal. A structure that is ventral to another is closer to the belly-side of the body. A feature that is dorsal to another is closer to the back of the body.
Question 12: Proximal/Distal
Answer:
Equivalent to near and far. Usually used to orient the positions of structures and features along the limbs with respect to the trunk of the body. A feature that is proximal to something else is closer to the limb's point of attachment to the trunk. A structure that is distal to something else is farther away from
the limb's point of attachment.
Question 13: section
Answer:
A cut through the body (or organ) that is made along a particular plane; a thin slice of tissue prepared for microscopic study
Question 14: organ
Answer:
A part of the body formed by two or more tissues and adapted to carry out specific functions
Question 15: organ system
Answer:
A group of organs that work together to perform a vital body function
Question 16: Ventral body cavity
Answer:
the thoracic cavity, the abdominal cavity, and the pelvic cavity in combination.
Question 17: organism
Answer:
The living animal (or plant) which represents the sum total of all its organ systems working together to maintain life
Question 18: Dorsal body cavity
Answer:
the cranial cavity and the spinal cavity in combination.
Question 19: Abdominopelvic cavity
Answer:
the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity in combination.
Question 20: parietal
Answer:
Pertaining to the walls of a cavity
Question 21: Cranial cavity
Answer:
the space occupied by the brain, enclosed by the skull bones.
Question 22: Medial/Lateral
Answer:
Equivalent to towards the middle or towards the edge. Used with respect to the midline of the trunk of a body in anatomical position. A structure that medial to another is closer to the midline of the body's trunk. A feature that is lateral to another is farther away from the midline of the trunk.
Question 23: Spinal cavity
Answer:
the space occupied by the spinal cord enclosed by the vertebrae column making up the backbone. The spinal cavity is continuous with the cranial cavity.
Question 24: Abdominal cavity
Answer:
the space occupied by the ventral internal organs inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the pelvic cavity.
Question 25: tissue
Answer:
A group of functionally similar cells forming a distinct structure
Question 26: Superior/Inferior
Answer:
Equivalent to above and below when moving along the long axis of a body in anatomical position. The structure that is superior to another is above the second structure when the body is in anatomical position. A feature that is inferior to another is below the second feature when the body is in anatomical position.
Question 27: Physiology
Answer:
The science of the functioning of living things
