toward or at the back of the body; BEHIND

direction terms: intermediate

coronoid process

vomer

sternum

(manubrium, body, diploid, jugular notch)

how many pairs of ribs?

12 pairs of ribs: 7 true ribs (connected directly to sternum via their own costal cartage) & 5 false ribs (connected indirectly to sternum

2 of the false ribs are floating

directional terms: inferior (caudal)

the navel is inferior to the chin

away from the head end or toward the lower part of a structure or the body; BELOW

directional terms: ventral (anterior)

the breastbone is anterior to the spine

toward or at the front of the body; IN FRONT OF

directional terms: medial

the heart is medial to the arm

toward or at the midline of the body; ON THE INNER SIDE OF

directional terms: median (midsagittal) plane

anterior & posterior

directional terms: frontal plane

medial & lateral

directional terms: transverse plane

superior & inferior

direction terms: lateral

the arms are lateral to the chest

away from the midline of the body; ON THE OUTER SIDE OF

direction terms: proximal

the elbow is proximal to the wrist

closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk

direction terms: distal

the knee is distal to the thigh

farther from the origin of a body part of the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk

direction terms: superficial (external)

the skin is superficial to the skeletal muscles

toward or at the body surface

direction terms: deep (internal)

the lungs are deep to the skin

away from the body surface; MORE INTERNAL

dorsal body cavity

contains cranial cavity & vertebral cavity

ventral caviry

contains thoracic cavity & abdominopelvic cavity

cranial cavity

(contains brain)

vertebral cavity

contains spinal cord

thoracic cavity

contains heart & lungs

(superior mediastinum, pleural cavity, pericardial cavity within mediastinum)

abdominal cavity

contains digestive viscera

pelvic cavity

contains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum

four basic tissue types and basic function

epithelial tissue- covering

connective tissue- movement

muscle tissue- movement

nervous tissue- control

simple squamous epithelium

example: alveoli of lung

function: diffusion and filtration

a single layer thick; flattened and scale like

simple cuboidal epithelium

example: kidney tubules

function: secretion and absorption

a single layer thick; box-like, cube

stratified squamous epithelium

example: epidermis of skin

function: protects from abrasion

pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium

example: trachea

function: produces and moves mucous

two or more layers thick and involved in protection; tall column-like ciliated

skeletal muscle

example: biceps

function: voluntary movement

cardiac muscle

example: heart

function: pumps blood

smooth muscle

example: hollow organs (uterus, stomach)

function: involuntary movement of substances

blood (connective)

examples:, blood vessels

function: transports gases and nutrients

bone (connective)

examples: bones

function: support, protects, allows movement by muscle

fibrocartilage (connective)

example: intervertebral discs

function: shock absorbers

areolar (connective)

example: under epithelial tissue throughout body

function: wraps and cushions organs

adipose (connective)

example: fat

function: energy storage, insulation and protection

elastic (connective)

example: aorta

function: recoils if stretched

nervous tissue (neurons)

example: brain, spinal cord and nerves

function: transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effectors

Interphase

perfect circle- DNA is replicated, cell prepares for mitosis

Prophase

cloudy circle- chromatin condenses making the chromosomes visible

Cytokinesis

two identical daughter cells

Telophase

goggles- daughter chromosomes reach the poles and form two new nuclei

Anaphase

oval- sister chromatids desperate and resultant daughter chromosomes move toward poles

Metaphase

middle- chromosomes become aligned at the equatorial plane

the cell: ribosomes

composed of RNA and protein

attached to the rough ER or floating freely

sites of protein synthesis

the cell: ER (endoplasmic reticulum)

rough ER: provide area for storage and transport of the proteins made on ribosomes to other cell areas.

smooth ER: no function in protein synthesis. site of steroid and lipid synthesis

the cell: Golgi appartatus

found close to the nucleus

packaging proteins

the cell: lysosomes

digestive enzymes

the cell: mitochondria

"the powerhouse of the cell"

produce cellular energy (ATP)

the cell: centrioles

direct the formation of the mitotic spindle during cell division: form the bases of cilia and flagella

close to the nucleus

the cell: cytoskeletal elements (microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules)

provide cellular support (function in intracellular transport)

microfilaments made up of actin (IMPORTANT IN CELL MOBILITY)

intermediate filaments made up of a variety of proteins and resist mechanical forces acting upon the cell

microtubules form the internal structure of the centrioles and help determine cell shape

axial skeleton

the "axis"

skull, vertebral column and thoracic cage

appendicular skeleton

the "appendages"

arms, legs (and shoulders and hips)

foramen

hole or opening in a bone

fossae

basin-like depression in bone

Condyle
