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.
