179 Terms
Abdominal
Relating to the abdomen.
Abdominopelvic cavity
One of two ventral cavities of the body, comprised of the abdominal and pelvic regions.
Abduction
Movement away from the midline of the body.
Acromial
Relating to the acromion process of the shoulder, recognized as the highest point of the shoulder.
Anatomic terminology
Specific terms to describe location, characteristics, movement, and direction of the form and structure of the body.
Active transport
A cellular transport mechanism that requires energy to move substances against a concentration or pressure gradient.
Anatomic position
A position with the body erect, arms at the sides, and palms forward. This position is important in anatomy because it is the means by which directional and movement terms are referenced. Terms like anterior and posterior, medial and lateral, abduction and adduction, and flexion and extension form a common understanding of anatomical position.
