Gross Anatomy - correct answer is the study of structure large enough to be seen
with the naked eye. EX. heart, lungs and kidneys.
Regional Anatomy - correct answer the study of anatomy based on regions or
divisions of the body and emphasizing the relations between various structures
(muscles and nerves and arteries etc.) in that region
Microscopic Anatomy - correct answer Deals with structures too small to be seen
with the naked eye.
Cytology - correct answer The study of individual cells, the branch of biology that
studies the structure and function of cells
Embryology - correct answer a subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerns
developmental changes that occur before birth
Histology - correct answer The study of tissues,the branch of biology that studies
the microscopic structure of animal or plant tissues
Cervical - correct answer relating to or associated with the neck
Intergumentary system - correct answer Major organs: skin, hair, sweat glands,
nails, Functions: protects against environmental hazards; helps regulate body
temperature; provide sensory information
Skeleton system - correct answer an internal or external framework of bone,
cartilage, or other rigid material supporting or containing the body of an animal or
plant
Muscular system - correct answer The bodily system that is composed of skeletal,
smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue and functions in movement of the body or of
materials through the body, maintenance of posture, and heat production.

Lymphatic system - correct answer system made of lymph nodes, blood vessels
Respiratory system - correct answer made of air way and lungs, The organ system
responsible for the intake of oxygen and diffusion of that gas into the blood and
the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body.
Urinary system - correct answer consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and
urethra, removes wastes from the blood and helps to maintain water and
electrolyte balance
Metabolism - correct answer includes all chemical reactions that occur in the
body, two functions (catabolism and anabolism)
Catabolism - correct answer provide energy by breaking down complex molecules
into simple molecules. (e.g) Protein-> amino acid

Prone - correct answer To recline one's front: lie on stomach
Homeostasis - correct answer metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by
several complex biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous
system to offset disrupting changes

different?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) - correct answer Double stranded helical molecule
in the cell nucleus.has four basis adenine(A), guanine(G), cytosine(C), and
Thymine(T)
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) - correct answer Single stranded molecule mostly active
outside the nucleus, four bases adenine(A), guanine(G), cytosine(C), and Uracil(U)

hydrogen, and other harmful chemicals
Messenger RNA (mRNA) - correct answer type of RNA that carries instructions
from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome
Cerebellum - correct answer the "little brain" attached to the rear of the
brainstem; it helps coordinate voluntary movement and balance
