Study Notes
Anatomy Definition
- Anatomy is the study of the structure of living organisms.
Cellular Biology
- A laboratory scientist studying the function of cells is most likely a cellular biologist.
Structural Anatomy
- Anatomy can be divided into areas, such as regional anatomy, which studies the structure of body parts.
Anatomical Terminology
- The term "distal" means "away from the attached part of a limb".
- The term "proximal" means "towards the attached part of a limb".
Muscle System
- Smooth, striations, voluntary control, and multinucleated are terms related to the muscle system.
Cranial Definition
- The term "cranial" refers to the skull or cranium.
Anatomical Position
- When standing in anatomical position, the feet are most inferior.
Body Cavities
- The thoracic cavity is the body cavity immediately superior to the diaphragm.
Microscopy
- Under the microscope, smooth muscle tissue would appear non-striated and have cells with one central nucleus.
Cellular Structure
- If a tissue is no longer able to make lipids, the affected organelle or structure is most likely the endoplasmic reticulum.
