INTRO TO ANATOMY
The correct order of biological organization from smallest to largest.
What is cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism?
Sweating when body temperature rises is this type of feedback.
What is negative feedback?
The integumentary systems main organ.
What is the skin?
The study of tissues and how they are organized.
What is histology?
Connective tissue generally has fewer cells and more of this.
What is extracellular matrix?
The basic contractile unit of a myofibril.
What is a sarcomere?
A term describing a structure toward the front of the body.
What is anterior?
The study of the structure and form of body parts.
Answer: What is anatomy?
Answer:
What is anatomy?
Platelets rushing to a damaged vessel and increasing clot formation demonstrates this feedback.
What is positive feedback?
This system breaks down and absorbs nutrients.
What is the digestive system?
This is the surface of an epithelial tissue that is exposed to the outside or to an open internal space.
What is the free surface?
Tissue that stores energy, insulates, and cushions organs.
What is adipose tissue?
The two main proteins that slide past each other during contraction.
What are actin and myosin?
This term means “farther from the trunk” when comparing two points on the same limb.
What is distal?
The study of how body parts work.
What is physiology?
The freezer lab measured vitals before, during, and after activity to observe this concept.
What is the body returning to homeostasis after stress?
The body cavity that contains the brain and spinal cord.
What are the cranial and vertebral cavities (dorsal)?
Tissue made of a single layer of flat cells allowing diffusion.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
Tissue with a smooth, glassy matrix found at the ends of long bones.
What is hyaline cartilage?
Location where ACh is released to stimulate a muscle fiber.
What is the neuromuscular junction?
This body plane divides the body into superior and inferior portions.
What is the transverse plane?
Maintaining a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
Hyperthermia means this is happening to body temperature.
What is it is too high?
The structure separating the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
What is the diaphragm?
Tall cells with nuclei in a line and goblet cells identify this tissue.
What is simple columnar epithelium?
Tissue that conducts electrical impulses.
What is nervous tissue (neurons)?
The prime mover in elbow flexion.
What is the biceps brachii?
A student points first to their knee and then to their ankle. Using anatomical terminology, describe the correct relationship between the two.
What is “the knee is proximal to the ankle”?
The prefixes hypo- and hyper- mean “below” and “above.” Give an example of each.
What is hypoglycemia = low blood sugar; hyperthermia = high body temperature?
Organ system responsible for transporting nutrients, gases and wastes.
Cardiovascular system
Membrane directly covering the heart.
What is the visceral pericardium?
The purpose of the basement membrane in epithelial tissue.
What is to anchor epithelial tissue to underlying connective tissue?
Tissue with striations and multiple nuclei per cell.
What is skeletal muscle?
Decrease in muscle size due to inactivity, such as wearing a cast.
What is muscle atrophy?
This plane divides the body into equal right and left halves.
What is the midsagittal (median) plane?
This molecule becomes depleted during prolonged activity, leading to muscle fatigue. Name the molecule.
What is ATP?
