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.
