HBS Final Exam
forensic anthropology - ✔️✔️The branch of physical anthropology in which
anthropological data, criteria, and techniques are used to determine the sex, age,
genetic population, or parentage of skeletal or biological materials in questions of civil or
criminal law
central nervous system - ✔️✔️The part of the nervous system which in vertebrates
consists of the brain and spinal cord, to which sensory impulses are transmitted and
from which motor impulses pass out, and which supervises and coordinates the activity
of the entire nervous system.
superior - ✔️✔️Situated toward the head and further away from the feet than another
and especially another similar part of an upright body especially of a human being
anterior - ✔️✔️situated toward the front of the body
deep - ✔️✔️away from the body surface; more internal
directional terms - ✔️✔️terms used to explain where one body structure is in relation to
another
distal - ✔️✔️situated away from the point of attachment or origin or a central point;
located away from the central part of the body
dorsal - ✔️✔️being or located near, on, or toward the back or posterior part of the
human body
identity - ✔️✔️distinguishing character or personality of an individual
inferior - ✔️✔️Situated below and closer to the feet than another and especially
another similar part of an upright body especially of a human being
lateral - ✔️✔️Of or relating to the side; especially of a body part
medial - ✔️✔️Lying or extending in the middle; especially of a body part
posterior - ✔️✔️Situated at or toward the hind part of the body
proximal - ✔️✔️Situated next to or near the point of attachment or origin or a central
point
,regional terms - ✔️✔️Anatomical terms that refer to specific visible landmarks on the
surface of the body
superficial - ✔️✔️Of, relating to, or located near the surface
system - ✔️✔️A group of body organs or structures that together perform one or more
vital functions
ventral - ✔️✔️Pertaining to the anterior or front side of the body; opposite of dorsal
adipose tissue - ✔️✔️Connective tissue in which fat is stored and which has the cells
distended by droplets of fat
appendicular skeleton - ✔️✔️Bones of the limbs and limb girdles that are attached to
the axial skeleton
axial skeleton - ✔️✔️The skeleton of the trunk and head
connective tissue - ✔️✔️Animal tissue that functions mainly to bind and support other
tissues, having a sparse population of cells scattered through an extracellular matrix
epithelial tissue - ✔️✔️Sheets of tightly packed cells that line organs and body cavities
femur - ✔️✔️The proximal bone of the hind or lower limb that is the longest and largest
bone in the human body, extends from the hip to the knee
humerus - ✔️✔️The longest bone of the upper arm or forelimb extending from the
shoulder to the elbow
pelvis - ✔️✔️A basin-shaped structure in the skeleton of many vertebrates that is
formed by the pelvic girdle together with the sacrum and often various coccygeal and
caudal vertebrae and that in humans is composed of the two hip bones bounding it on
each side and in front while the sacrum and coccyx complete it behind
skull - ✔️✔️The skeleton of the head forming a bony case that encloses and protects
the brain and chief sense organs and supports the jaws
tibia - ✔️✔️The inner and usually larger of the two bones of the leg between the knee
and ankle that articulates above with the femur and below with the talus -- called also
shinbone
tissue - ✔️✔️An integrated group of cells with a common structure and function
, agarose - ✔️✔️A polysaccharide obtained from seaweed that is used as the supporting
medium in gel electrophoresis
biometrics - ✔️✔️The measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral
characteristics (as fingerprint or voice patterns) especially as a means of verifying
personal identity.
DNA - ✔️✔️A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid molecule capable of replicating and
determining the inherited structure of a cell's proteins.
gel electrophoresis - ✔️✔️The separation of nucleic acids or proteins, on the basis of
their size and electrical charge, by measuring their rate of movement through an
electrical field in a gel.
restriction enzyme - ✔️✔️A degradative enzyme that recognizes specific nucleotide
sequences and cuts up DNA.
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms - ✔️✔️Differences in DNA sequence on
homologous chromosomes that can result in different patterns of restriction fragment
lengths (DNA segments resulting from treatment with restriction enzymes).
brian stem - ✔️✔️The part of the brain composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla
oblongata and connecting the spinal cord with the forebrain and cerebrum.
cerebellum - ✔️✔️A large dorsally projecting part of the brain concerned especially with
the coordination of muscles and the maintenance of bodily equilibrium, situated
between the brain stem and the back of the cerebrum and formed in humans of two
lateral lobes and a median lobe.
cerebrum - ✔️✔️The dorsal portion, composed of right and left hemispheres, of the
vertebrate forebrain; the integrating center for memory, learning, emotions, and other
highly complex function of the central nervous system.
gyrus - ✔️✔️A convoluted ridge between anatomical grooves.
limbic system - ✔️✔️A group of subcortical structures (as the hypothalamus, the
hippocampus, and the amygdala) of the brain that are concerned especially with
emotion and motivation
lobe - ✔️✔️A division of a body organ (as the brain, lungs, or liver) marked off by a
fissure on the surface.
