studies body structure without a microscope.

New cards
3

Microscopic anatomy

requires the use of a microscope to study tissues that form the various organs of the body.

New cards
4

Physiology

It is the study of how the body and its parts work or function.

New cards
5

Homeostasis

When structure and function are coordinated the body achieves a relative stability of its internal environment called

New cards

Cell

: The smallest independent units of life

New cards
7

Tissue

is made up of many similar cells that perform a specific function

New cards
8

Epithelial tissue

Found in the outer layer of skin, lining of organs, blood and lymph vessels and body cavities.

New cards
9

Connective tissue

: Connects and supports most parts of the body

New cards
10

Muscle tissue

Produces movement through its ability to contract

New cards
11

Nerve tissue

Found in the brain, spinal cord and nerves

New cards
12

Organ

Is an integrated collection of two or more kinds of tissue that works together to perform specific functions.

New cards
13

System

: Is a group of organs that work together to perform major functions.

New cards
14

Organism level

The various organs of the body form the entire organism

New cards
15

Superior (cranial)

Toward the head. The leg is supper to the foot.

New cards
16

Inferior (caudal)

Toward the feet. The foot is inferior to the leg

Medial

Towards the midline of the body. The nose is medial to the eyes.

New cards
20

Lateral

Away from the midline of the body. The eyes are lateral to the nose.

New cards
21

Proximal

Toward (nearer) the trunk of the body or the attached end of a limb. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.

New cards
22

Distal

Away (farther) from the trunk of the body or the attached end of a limb. The wrist is distal to the forearm

New cards
23

Superficial

Nearer the surface of the body. The ribs are superficial to the heart.

New cards
24

Deep

Farther from the surface of the body. The heart is deeper to the ribs.

New cards
25

Peripheral

Away from the central axis of the body.__________ radiate away from the brain and spinal cord.

New cards
26

Axial body part

It is the part of the body near the axis of the body. This includes head, neck, thorax (chest), abdomen, and pelvis.

New cards
27

Appendicular body part

It is the part of the body out of the axis line. This includes the upper and lower extremities.

New cards
28

Sagittal plane

divides the body into right and left half.

New cards
29

Mid sagittal plane

- divides body into equal left and right halves

New cards
30

Para sagittal plane

- divides body into unequal left and right

New cards
31

Frontal plane

divides the body into asymmetrical anterior and posterior sections.

New cards
32

Transverse plane

- divides the body into upper and lower body sections.

New cards
33

Oblique plane

divides the body obliquely into upper and lower sections

New cards
34

Ventral body cavity

constitutes the thoracic cavity and the abdomino-pelvic body cavity.

New cards
35

Thoracic cavity

It is protected by the rib cage & associated musculature and the sternum anteriorly

New cards
36

Abdomino-pelvic cavity

extends from the diaphragm inferior to the floor of the pelvis

New cards
37

Abdominal cavity

contains the stomach, intestine, liver, spleen and gallbladder

New cards
38

Pelvic cavity

contains urinary bladder, rectum, and portions of the reproductive organs.

New cards
39

Dorsal body cavity

it constitutes the cephalic cavity containing the brain and the vertebral canal containing the spinal cord.

New cards
40

Cytology

- It is a branch of science concerned with a study of cells.

New cards
41

Organelles

these are permanent structures with characteristic morphology that are highly specialized in specific cellular activity.

New cards
42

Cytoplasm

is the substance that surrounds organelles and is located between the nucleus and plasma membrane

New cards
43

Vascular tissue (Blood tissue)

It is a liquid connective tissue. It contains intercellular

substance plasma. Plasma is a straw colored liquid, consists water and dissolved material.

New cards
44

Osseous tissue (Bone)

The matured bone cell osteocytes, embedded in the

intercellular substance consisting mineral salts(calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate) with collagenous fibers.

New cards
45

Transitional epithelium

The distinction is that cells of the outer layer in transitional

epithelium tend to be large and rounded rather than flat. The feature allows the tissue to be stretched with out breakage. It is found in Urinary bladder, part of Ureters & urethra.

New cards
46

Pseudo stratified epithelium

Lines the larger excretory ducts of many glands, epididymis,

parts of male urethra and auditory tubes. Its main function is protection & secretion
