CHAPTER 1 - AN INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY
if you study from this set you’ll probably fail cuz i suck at taking notes just so yk im so sorry. also i didnt realize that you had to pay in order to make these private which sucks like wth lol

cytology
the study of cells (microscopic)
histology
the study of tissues (microscopic)
surface anantomy
the study of the body surface in relation to its deeper parts (gross/macroscopic anantomy)
regional anatomy
the study of superficial & internal features in a specific area of the body (gross/macroscopic anatomy)
systemic anantomy
structure of major organ system (gross/macroscopic anatomy)
chemical level (structural organization)
atom, molecule, macromolecule, organelle
cellular level (structural organization)
where molecules combine to form organelles inside a cell
tissue level (structural organization)
a biological tier where groups of similar cells work together to perform a specific, shared function. epithelium, connective, muscle, nervous
organ level (structural organization)
layers of tissue (two or more) combine to form a structure with a specific dedicated function
system level (structural organization)
a group of organs that function together to produce coordinated effects
organism level (structural organization)
all organ systems work together to keep the body healthy and alive

body cavities are confined spaces within the body for:

-protection
-support
Dorsal cavity:
Which organ is located in the cranial cavity?
Which organ is located in the spinal cavity?
Brain.
Spinal cord.
Which two cavities are in the ventral cavity?
Thoracic Cavity (enclosed my chest wall) and Abdominopelvic cavity enclosed by abdominal wall and pelvis)
