Microscopic anatomy - correct answer ✔✔The study of the structure of cells, tissues, and organs of the

Cytology- the study of cells.
Homeostasis - correct answer ✔✔"Same state." Refers to the process of keeping a relatively stable
internal environment when the external environment is changed. Occurs at all levels of life from cells to
whole animals.

reinforces or amplifies the stimulus rather than decreasing it or removing it and may lead to a vicious

Plantar - correct answer ✔✔below the proximal ends of the tarsus, replaces caudal
Medial - correct answer ✔✔toward the longitudinal axis (midline)
Lateral - correct answer ✔✔away from the longitudinal axis
Superficial - correct answer ✔✔nearer the body surface
Deep - correct answer ✔✔farther from the body surface
