ANATOMY BASICS
This field of science focuses on the structures of the human body.
What is anatomy?
The nose is on this surface of the body, while the spine is on the posterior surface.
What is anterior?
This substance is the cell's major usable source of energy.
What is ATP?
This type of transport moves substances without requiring cellular energy.
What is passive transport?
Your body's framework depends primarily on this system for structural support.
What is the skeletal system?
This field focuses on how body parts work and function.
What is physiology?
If a structure is located closer to the body's midline, we use this directional term.
What is medial?
Proteins are constructed from these smaller building blocks.
What are amino acids?
Water moving across a selectively permeable membrane is called this.
What is osmosis?
When you bend your arm, walk across the room, or smile, this system is producing movement.
What is the muscular system?
A healthcare provider records a patient's temperature as 102°F. Because this information can be measured, it is considered this rather than a symptom.
What is a sign?
Imagine cutting a sandwich horizontally into a top and bottom half. This body plane does something similar to the human body.
What is the transverse plane?
Two atoms decide to “share” electrons rather than transfer them. They have formed this type of bond.
What is a covalent bond?
Unlike passive transport, this process can move substances from an area of lower concentration toward an area of higher concentration.
What is active transport?
This system breaks food down so that nutrients can be used by the body.
What is the digestive system?
A patient is lying flat on their back with their face upward. Name this position.
What is supine?
An MRI image divides a patient's body into left and right portions. Name the plane.
What is the sagittal plane?
This solution causes a cell to lose water and shrink.
What is a hypertonic solution?
Your cells routinely remove damaged or unnecessary cells through this controlled process of programmed cell death.
What is apoptosis?
One system exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide, while another transports those gases. Name BOTH systems.
What is the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system?
A healthcare provider considers several possible conditions that could explain a patient's symptoms before deciding which one is most likely.
What is a differential diagnosis?
This position is standing upright, facing forward, arms at the sides, with palms facing forward?
What is anatomical position?
This process occurs at the ribosome as part of protein production.
What is translation?
This cell replication process creates 4 new cells.
What is meiosis?
The human body is organized into this number of major organ systems.
What is 11?
