Anatomy Week 1-5
Set of sacs that provides a "packing" service to the cell by storing material for future internal use or for export from the cell | Golgi apparatus |
Network of channels within the cell that act as "highways" for the movement of chemicals and as sites for chemical processing | Endoplasmic reticulum |
What are the smallest and most numerous structural units that process and exhibit the basic characteristics of living matter? | Cells |
In which position is the body is in an erect, or standing, posture with the arms at the sides and palms turned forward? | Anatomical position |
Front means | Anterior |
Back means | Posterior |
Toward the midline of the body | Medial |
What are the 2 dorsal cavities? | Cranial cavity and spinal cavity |
What are the 2 ventral cavities? | Thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity |
What are the 9 abdominopelvic regions? | Upper Region: 1. Right hypochondriac region 2. Epigastric region 3. Left hypochondriac region Middle regions: 4. Right lumbar (flank) region 5. Umbilical region 6. Left lumbar (flank) region Lower regions: 7. Right iliac (inguinal) region 8 |
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus | Atomic number |
Elements that contain the same number of protons but different number of neutrons | Isotopes |
A chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another | Ionic or electrovalent bond |
A chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between the outer energy levels of two atoms | Covalent bond |
What are the major elements of the body? | Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen |
What are the membranous structures of a cell? | Plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), golgi apparatus, vesicles, lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria, nucleus |
What are the nonmembranous structures of a cell? | Ribosomes, proteasomes, cytoskeleton, centrosome, microvilli, cilia and flagella, nucleolus |
What is the function of the proteasome? | Breakdown abnormal and misfolded proteins released from the ER |
These organelles pinch off from the SER and detoxify harmful substances that may enter cells | Peroxisomes |
What is the function of the nucleolus? | Synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and combines it with protein to form the subunits that will later combine to form ribosomes |
What are the major tissue types of the body? | Epithelial tissue , connective tissue , muscle tissue and nervous tissue |
What are the functions of epithelial tissue? | Protection, sensory functions, secretion, absorption, excretion |
What are the 4 classes of connective tissue? | 1. Fibrous (connective tissue proper) 2. Bone 3. Cartilage 4. Blood |
What are the 3 types of cartilage? | Hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic |

what are the 5 layers of the epidermis? | 1. Stratum basale 2. Stratum spinosum 3. Statum granulosum 4. Stratum lucidum 5. Stratum corneum |
What are the functions of the skin? | Protection, Sensation, Flexibility-permits movement and growth without injury, Endocrine-vitamin D production Excretion Immunity, Temperature regulation |
What are the functions of bone? | Support, protection, movement, mineral storage, hematopoiesis |
What are the 5 different types of bones based on shape? | 1. Long bones, 2. Short bones, 3. Irregular bones, 4. Flat bones, 5. Sesamoid bones |

What are the 2 divisions of the human skeleton? | 1. Axial skeleton 2. Appendicular skeleton |
What 3 parts make up the axial skeleton? | 1. Skull 2. Vertebral column 3. Thoracic cage |
What parts make up the appendicular skeleton? | Free appendages (all 4 limbs) and their attachments to the axial skeleton |

Since the 4rth and 5th ribs have ventral attachment to the sternum, they are called: | True ribs |
What 2 bones make up the shoulder girdle? | 1. Clavicle 2. Scapula |
Which cranial bone resembles a bat? | Sphenoid |
