WSU Biology 315 Exam 1Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER-The study of the structure of the human body
Dissection - CORRECT ANSWER-"I cut up"
Prosection - CORRECT ANSWER-"Already cut up"
Anatomical Terminology - CORRECT ANSWER--Based on ancient Greek or
Latin
-Provides standard nomenclature worlwide
Branches of Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Gross anatomy (visible to naked
eye; muscles, bones, organs)
2. Microscopic anatomy (histology)
3. Developmental anatomy (embryology)
4. Comparative anatomy (correspondence of form)
5. Functional morphology (correlate form with specific function)
Hierarchy of Structural Organization - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Chemical level
2. Cellular level
3. Tissue level
4. Organ level
5. Organ system
6. Organism
Chemical Level (Hierarchy of Structural Organization) - CORRECT
ANSWER--Atoms form molecules
a) Elements of life: C, H, O, N, S, Ca, and P
b) Macromolecules of life: carbohydrates, proteins, fats (lipids), and nucleic acids
Cellular Level (Hierarchy of Structural Organization) - CORRECT
ANSWER--Cells and their functional subunits
a) Organelles: perform specific cell function
Tissue Level (Hierarchy of Structural Organization) - CORRECT
ANSWER--Group of cells performing a common function
,-4 primary tissue types: epithelial, connective, nervous, muscle
Organ Level (Hierarchy of Structural Organization) - CORRECT ANSWER-A
discrete structure made up of more than one tissue
Organ System (Hierarchy of Structural Organization) - CORRECT
ANSWER-Organs working together for a common purpose
Organism (Hierarchy of Structural Organization) - CORRECT ANSWER-The
result of all simpler levels working in unison
Cells in the Body - CORRECT ANSWER--Over 100 trillion cells in human body
-252 identified types of cells
-Cells must carry out all processes necessary for survival of the cell plus each
cell must perform specific functions required for survival of organism--NO
SLACKERS
-Differentiation
Differentiation - CORRECT ANSWER-Process by which cells become
specialized to perform specific functions
Cell Differentiation - CORRECT ANSWER-Differentiation results from altered
gene expression in response to locally produced molecules
-Undifferentiated cells = stem cells
Two Categories of Stem Cells - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Embryonic stem cells
2. Tissue specific stem cells
Embryonic Stem Cells - CORRECT ANSWER--Pluripotent (can become any type
of adult)
-Totipotent cell (= zygote, first few cell divisions) can become any cell including
placenta
Tissue Specific Stem Cells - CORRECT ANSWER-Partially specialized, found in
many adult tissues

e) Progress has been made in growing complex organs like liver and pancreas
Organ Systems - CORRECT ANSWER-Collection of organs that work together to
accomplish a particular task
12 Different Organ Systems - CORRECT ANSWER-Cardiovascular, respiratory,
digestive, nervous, skeletal, muscular, immune, lymphatic, urinary, integument,
endocrine, and reproductive
Anatomical Postion - CORRECT ANSWER-A common visual reference point
a) Person stands erect with feet together and eyes forward
b) Palms face anteriorly with the thumbs pointed away from the body
Regional Terms - CORRECT ANSWER-Names of specific body areas
Axial Region - CORRECT ANSWER-The main axis of the body (head, neck, and
trunk)
Appendicular Region - CORRECT ANSWER-The limbs
Superior (Cranial) - CORRECT ANSWER-Toward the head end or upper part of
a structure or the body; above
Inferior (Caudal) - CORRECT ANSWER-Away from the head end or toward the
lower part of a structure or the body; below
Anterior (ventral) - CORRECT ANSWER-Toward or at the front of the body; in
front of
Posterior (dorsal) - CORRECT ANSWER-Toward or at the back end of the body;
behind
, Medial - CORRECT ANSWER-Toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner
side of
Lateral - CORRECT ANSWER-Away from the midline of the body; on the outer
side of
Intermediate - CORRECT ANSWER-Between a more medial and a more lateral
strucutre
Proximal - CORRECT ANSWER-Closer to the organ of the body part or the point
of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
Distal - CORRECT ANSWER-Farther from the organ of a body part or the point
of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
Superficial (external) - CORRECT ANSWER-Toward or at the body surface.
Deep (internal) - CORRECT ANSWER-Away from the body surface; more
internal
Coronal (Frontal) Plane - CORRECT ANSWER-Lies vertically and divides body
into anterior and posterior parts
Median (Midsagittal) Plane - CORRECT ANSWER--Specific sagittal plane that
lies vertically in the midline
-Divides into right and left halves
