Systemic anatomy
c.
Surface anatomy
2.
What are some ways we can study microscopic anatomy? What do these
subdivisions study?
a.
Cytology - study of cells
b.
Histology - study of tissues
3.

•
Chemical level
•
Cellular level
•
Tissue level
•
Organ level
•
Organ system level
•
Organismal level
4.
What are the four main tissues that we find in the body?
a.
Epithelial tissue
b.
Connective tissue
c.
Muscle tissue
d.
N
ervous tissue
5.
What is the anatomical term for the thumb?
Pollex
6.
If a patient would have an injury to crural region, where would that be?
Lower leg
a.
… the mental region? The chin
7.
Cutting the body along the median plane produces a(n) Midsaggital section
8.
Cutting the body horizontally produces a(n) Transverse section
9.
Describe the anatomical directional terms
a.
Median - refers to a position closest to the patient’s midline
b.
Lateral - refers to a position furthest from the midline
c.
Superficial - refers to a position closest to the body's surface
d.
Anterior - refers to a position closer to the front of the patient
e.
Distal - further from the point of origin
10. Describe the basic function of the digestive system?
It breaks down food into small absorbable units and undigestible foodstuffs are
eliminated as feces
11. Describe the basic function of the endocrine system?
Glands secrete hormones that regulate growth, reproduction, and nutrient use.
12. Define homeostasis
The state of steady internal, physical, chemical, and social conditions maintained by
living systems.
13. What is the difference between negative vs. positive feedback? Give examples of
each
N
egative feedback is a regulatory mechanism that works to maintain stability
and restore equilibrium in a system. An example of negative feedback is the human
body uses negative feedback to regulate temperature.
Positive feedback amplifies the effects of a change or disturbance in a system
rather than opposing it, often leading to an escalating or reinforcing cycle. An
example of positive feedback is the process of childbirth.
14. What are the two division of the dorsal body cavity? And what anatomical
structures do they contain?
a.

… the heart? Pericardium
b.
… the intestines? Peritoneum
Cells
1.
Name all the labeled intracellular organelles in this image.
2.
What are the important molecular events that happen during prophase of mitosis?
During prophase, the chromosomes condense and centrosomes move to opposite
sides of the nucleus, initiating the mitotic spindle formation.
3.
Endomembrane system: Describe the route of protein synthesis from the nucleus, rough
endoplasmic reCculum, golgi apparatus, and exocytosis (may supplement answer with
illustraCon)
4.
What intracellular organelles is responsible for making ATP?
Mitochondria
5.
What intracellular organelles is responsible for the formaCon of the mitoCc spindle
which is crucial during mitosis?
The centrioles are critical to allow the mitotic spindle to form, which is critical to
allow cytokinesis.
Plasma Membrane
Golgi Apparatus
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Mitochondrion
Nucleolus
