Skeletal system - correct answer consists of bones as well as ligaments and
cartilages that bind bones together. these parts provide frameworks and protective sheilds for softer tissues , are attachments for muscles, and act with muscles when body parts move. tissues within bones also produce blood cells and store inorganic salts Muscular system - correct answer by contracting and pulling their ends closer together, muscles provide forces that move body parts. they also maintain posture and are the main source of body heat. Nervous system - correct answer consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs. sends electrochemical signals called nerve impulses. Endocrine system - correct answer includes all the glands that secrete chemical messengers called hormones.the hypothalamus of the brain, the pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands; and the pancreas, ovaries, testes, pineal gland, and thymus Cardiovascular system - correct answer includes the heart, arteries, veins,
capillaries, and blood. Pumps blood through the body to transport gases, nutrients, hormones, and wastes. Lymphatic system - correct answer includes lymphatic vessels, lymph fluids, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen. cells are called lymphocytes, and they defend the body against infections by removing disease -causing microorganisms and viruses from tissue fluid. Digestive system - correct answer includes the mouth, teeth, tongue, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small intestine, and large intestine. break down food molecules into simpler forms that can pass through cell membranes and be absorbed. Respiratory system - correct answer includes the nasal cavity, pharnx, larnyx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. oxygen passes from the air within the lungs into the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood and enters the air.
Urinary system - correct answer includes kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys remove wastes from the blood and help maintain the body's water and salt (electrolyte concentration)the product of these activities is urine. Reproductive system (male) - correct answer includes scrotum, testes,epididymides, ductus deferentia, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, penis, and urethra. these parts produce and maintain sperm cells (spermatozoa). components of the male reproductive system also transfer sperm cells into the female reproductive tract. Reproductive system (female) - correct answer includes ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, clitoris, and vulva. these organs produce and maintain the female sex cells (egg cells or oocytes), transport the female sex cells within the female reproductive system , and can receive the male sex cells (sperm cells) for the possibility of fertilizing an egg. the female reproductive system also supports the development of embryos , carries the fetuses to term, and functions in the birth process.
Anatomical Position - correct answer The body is standing erect, face forward, with the upper limbs at the sides and palms forward. Relative Position - correct answer describes the location of one body part with the respect to another. Superior - correct answer means that a body part is above another part or is closer to the head. ( The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity) Inferior - correct answer means that a body part is below another body part of is toward the feet. ( the neck is inferior to the head) Anterior - correct answer (or ventral) means towards the front. ( the eyes are anterior to the brain) Posterior - correct answer (or dorsal) is the opposite of anterior; it
means toward the back. ( the pharynx is posterior to the oral cavity) Medial - correct answer refers to an imaginary midline dividing the body into equal right and left halves. A body part is medial if it is closer to this line than another part. (the nose is medial to the eyes) Lateral - correct answer means toward the side with respect to the imaginary midline ( the ears are lateral to the eyes) Bilateral - correct answer refers to paired structures, one of which is on each side, (the lungs are bilateral) Ipsilateral - correct answer refers to the structures on the same side ( the right lung and the right kidney are ipsilateral.) Contralateral - correct answer refers to the structures on the opposite side. ( a patient with a fractured right leg wold have to
bear weight on the contralateral - in this case- left, lower limb) Proximal - correct answer describes a body part that is closer to a point of attachment to the trunk than another body part. ( the elbow is proximal to the wrist) proximal may also refer to another reference point such as proximal tubule, which is closer to the filtering structure in the kidney. Distal - correct answer is the opposite of proximal. it means that a particular body part is farther from a point of attachment to the trunk than another body part. (the fingers are distal from the wrist) distal may also refer to another reference point , such as decreased blood flow distal to occlusion of a coronary artery. Superficial - correct answer means situated near the surface. ( the epidermis is the superficial layer of skin.) Peripheral - correct answer also means outward or near the surface. it describes the location of certain blood vessels and
nerves. (the nerves that branch from the brain and spinal cord are peripheral nerves) Deep - correct answer describes parts that are more internal than superficial parts. ( the dermis is the deep layer of the skin.) Sagittal - correct answer refers to a lengthwise plane that divides the body into right and left portions. if the sagittal plane passes along the midline and divides the body into equal parts , it is called median (midsagittal). A sagittal section lateral to midline is called parasagittal. Traverse - correct answer ( or horizontal) refers to a plane that divides the body into superior and inferior portions. Coronal - correct answer ( or frontal) refers to a plane that divides the body into the anterior and posterior portions. cross section - correct answer cut across a cylindrical organ
