100

This vertebra only has a superior costal demifacet

What is T10?

100

This muscle originates from the nuchal ligament and spinous processes of C7-T1 and inserts on the medial border of the scapula.

What is rhomboid minor? 

100

This is caused by faulty signaling during gastrulation leading to failure to establish L-R axis and has abnormal cilia

What is situs inversus? 

100

This epithelium type is made of simple squamous cells that line the inner walls of blood and lymph vessels

What is endothelium?

100

This system carries sensory information from a visceral structure to the brain

What is general visceral afferent (GVA)? 

200

This ligament is a continuation of the anterior atlanto-axial membrane and the anterior atlanto-occipital membrane

What is anterior longitudinal ligament?

200

This muscle causes head extension when contracted bilaterally and head side bending/rotation towards the ipsilateral side.

What is splenius capitus? 

200

This structure forms when neural folds fuses 

Neural tube 

200

This part of the mucosa is made up of loose connective tissue that is immediately deep to the epithelium

What is lamina propria?

200
This structure of the somatic system only contains efferent signals

What is ventral root? 

300

This curvature in the vertebral column causes the back to convex anteriorly

What is lordosis? 
300

This muscle is innervated by the thoracodorsal nerve

What is latissimus dorsi? 

300

This layer (specific) will form walls of the gut tube (w/ endoderm), visceral pleura/peritoneum, cardiac muscle, lung/tracheal cartilages, and connective tissues.

What is visceral lateral plate mesoderm? 

300

This stain is used to visualize basement membranes, glycogen, and mucin

What is periodic acid-schiff (PAS)?

300

This class of epithelial cells is found in the walls of eccrine sweat glands

What is stratified cuboidal? 

400

These 2 joints are synovial in the spine

What are zygapophyseal and costal joints? 

400

This area is bordered by the lateral border of lats (medial), iliac crest (inferior), and posterior border of external oblique (lateral). 

What is lumbar triangle (of Petit)?

400

The skull and part of clavicle are formed through this type of ossification

What is intramembranous ossification?

400

What structure in the epithelium contains the protein connexin to allow ions and small molecules to pass between cells? 

What is gap junction?

400

This method of exocrine gland secretion involves accumulation and apoptosis

What is holocrine?

500
The superior thoracic zygopophyseal joint is vertical in this plane, while the inferior joints are in this plane. 

What are the frontal and sagittal plane? 

500

This muscle originates at the tubercle of posterior arch of atlas and inserts in the inferior nuchal line

What is rectus capitis posterior minor? 

500

This region induces surrounding limb bud mesenchyme to proliferate and grow as an undifferentiated group of cells

What is apical ectodermal ridge (AER)?

500

This layer of the epidermis contains the stem cells of epidermis, melanocytes, and the origin of keratinocytes.

What is stratum basale? 

500

This structure in the dermis nerve endings is responsible for the sensation of light touch and is found in the papillary layer

What is Meissner's corpuscle?
