Types of Questions and Levels of Analysis At a broad level, ethologists pose four distinct types of questions, which Niko Tinbergen outlined in a classic paper entitled “On the Aims and Methods of Ethology” (N.
Q. What is Tinbergen rule?
Tinbergen emphasized that achieving the desired values of a certain number of targets requires the policy maker to control an equal number of instruments. This is known as the Tinbergen Rule.

Q. What was the main conclusion of Tinbergen’s experiment?
Tinbergen concluded that the wasp did use landmarks to find her nests, and that she could learn new ones. Tinbergen used simple materials in his experiment—pine cones and stones—and a simple procedure. The results led him to conclude that digger wasps use a pattern of landmarks to find their nests.
Q. What is another word for distal?
What is another word for distal?
| far-end | bottom |
|---|---|
| distant | end part |
| faraway | farthest |
| remote |
Q. What is the distal end?
Distal: The more (or most) distant of two (or more) things. For example, the distal end of the femur (the thigh bone) is the end down by the knee; the end more distant from the torso. The opposite of distal is proximal.
Q. Is the foot distal to the knee?
The knee is proximal to the foot. Moving distally from the hip brings you to the thigh. The foot is distal to the knee.
Q. What part of the body is most distal from the head?
Directional Terms Inferior or caudal – away from the head; lower (example, the foot is part of the inferior extremity). Anterior or ventral – front (example, the kneecap is located on the anterior side of the leg). Posterior or dorsal – back (example, the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body).
Q. Which directional term means lying face down?
Prone: With the front or ventral surface downward (lying face down), as opposed to supine.
Q. What is the top or highest point called?
the highest point of something; apex; summit; top: the vertex of a mountain.
Q. Is upwards or towards the head?
DIRECTIONAL TERMS
| A | B |
|---|---|
| SUPERIOR (CEPHALIC OR CRANIAL) | TOWARD THE HEAD OR TOWARD THE UPPER PART OF A STRUCTURE |
| INFERIOR (CAUDAL) | AWAY FROM THE HEAD, OR TOWARD THE LOWER PART OF A STRUCTURE |
| ANTERIOR (VENTRAL) | NEARER TO OR AT THE FRONT OF THE BODY |
| POSTERIOR (DORSAL) | NEARER TO OR AT THE BACK OF THE BODY |
Q. What two body cavities are named for directional terms?
two subdivisions: thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity, seperated by the diaphragm. (“side”)Right and left. each hold a lung and are so named because they occupy the lateral portions of the thoracic cavity.
