functional human anatomy homework 1
Embryology
Knowledge of this branch of anatomy helps one understand the complex design of the adult human body and helps to explain birth defects.
radiographic anatomy
This branch of anatomy studies internal body structures by means of MRI, sonography, and other imaging techniques.
Gross Anatomy
This is the study of body structures that can be examined with the naked eye-bones, lungs, and muscles for example.
Histology
This is the study of microscopic structures including cells, tissues, and microscopic details of organs.
surface anatomy
This is the study of shapes and landmarks that reveal underlying organs.
dorsal hollow nerve tube
brain and spinal cord
Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and other organelles compartmentalized into a single structure by phospholipids, forming a single functional unit
cellular level
When many molecules come together to form organelles that become compartmentalized into a single structure that works as a unit, you have an example of the
cellular level
Oxygen and hydrogen combine with one another to form water; this is an example of the
chemical level organization
The words anatomy and dissection both derive from Greek word meaning __________.
cut apart
Which structure separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity?
diaphram
inner tube
digestive tube, lungs, pharynx
inguinal region
groin
micro-
means abnormally small.
trans-
means across, beyond, or through.
phys-
means nature or physical.
hypo-
means under, beneath, or less than normal.
The middle finger is __________ to the index finger.
medial
medi-
middle
Segmented Outer Tube
muscle segments and vertebrae
The small intestine contains epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. The combination of these different tissue types to form one discrete structure is an example of the
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
organ system level
A coronal section through the human body can
pass through both ears
The __________ cavity surrounds the viscera in the abdominopelvic cavity.
peritoneal
All vertebrates have specific identifying characteristics during some point of development.
pharyngeal pouches, dorsal hollow nerve cord, and segmentation
limbs
same as extremities
a cell
smallest unit of life
urinary system
system of the body eliminates nitrogenous wastes and regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood
A thin layer of cells that collectively form the lining of the lungs to allow for the diffusion of gases
tissue level
Muscle fibers are cells that contain actin, myosin, and other accessory proteins. When these cells are collected 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
Which structures are evidence of the vertebrate characteristic of segmentation?
vertebral column
Funtional Morphology
This branch of anatomy explores how organs and body structures work and assesses the efficiency of their design.
