identify the anatomical landmark name for the following structures:
ex: the anatomical name for the chin is mental

1. the anatomical term for kneecap is ____________
2. the anatomical term for the front of the elbow is ____________

Explanation:

1. Anatomy is the study of the structures of an organism.
2. Physiology focuses on the functions of an organism and its parts.
3. The levels of organization in the human body from smallest to largest are: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ - system, organism.
4. In homeostasis, the receptor detects the stimulus, the control center responds and sends instructions to the effector which acts on the instructions.
5. The brachial (arm) is proximal to the antebrachial (fore - arm).
6. The frontal (forehead) is superior to the cervical (neck).
7. The skin, sweat glands, hair, and nails are part of the integumentary system.
8. Gross anatomy studies large visible structures, while microscopic anatomy studies cells and molecules.
9. The transverse plane divides the superior and inferior parts of the body.
10. The frontal (coronal) plane divides the anterior and posterior parts of the body.
11. The thoracic cavity contains the lungs, esophagus, and heart.
12. The thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities together make up the ventral cavity.
13. The anatomical term for kneecap is patella.
14. The anatomical term for the front of the elbow is antecubital.
