Diaphragm

Which of the following is true regarding the anatomical position?

Directional terminology refers to the body in this position

Knowledge of this branch of anatomy helps one understand the complex design of the adult human body and helps to explain birth defects

Embryology

An example of a tissue in the body is

Epithelium

This branch of anatomy explores how organs and body structures work and assesses the efficiency of their design

Functional morphology

This is the study of the body structures that can be examined with the naked eye. Bones, lungs, and muscles for example

Gross anatomy

This is the study of microscopic structures including cells, tissues, and microscopic details of organs

Histology

Ipsilateral

What is the purpose of the serous fluid that is located between visceral and parietal serosa?

It allows organs to slide with little friction against each other

The roots of anatomical terminology lie mainly in

Latin and Greek

This branch of anatomy studies internal body structures by means of MRI, sonography, and other imaging techniques

Radiographic anatomy

This is the study of shapes and landmarks that reveal underlying organs

Surface anatomy

Muscle fibers are cells that contain actin, myosin, and other accessory proteins. When these cells are connected together, they can all function as a unit, carrying out the shortening capabilities of muscle. When multiple cells with a similar function come together, it is an example of the ______

Tissue level

The proximal convoluted tubule is a structure within the kidney nephron that plays a significant role in the reabsorption of important products that have been filtered from the blood. One of the key features of this structure is its lining. The cells that line the tubule are responsible for the transport of substances across the membrane. These cells and their collective efforts would be an example of which of the following levels?

organ level

The tibia, which is made of connective tissue and nervous tissue

organ level

The pituitary gland, adrenal gland, and other hormone-producing organs all work together to help the body send hormones through the blood stream and respond to internal changes. This is an example of the
