24
Loose connective tissue
made up of cells that are loosely embedded in fibers
25
Dense connective tissue
found in ligaments, tendons, and dermis
26
Smooth muscle tissue
Found in airways,blood vessel and intestines. -Slim,long,muscle fibers in smooth muscle tissue
27
Spongey bone
Spongy in dense shell cortial bone,honeycomb structure
28
3 Main components of blood
Liquid plasma, white blood cells and red blood cells
29
How does the skeletal muscle move
They work under voluntary control each bundle is sheathed by white connective tissue
30
Adipose tissue
Cells that produce and store fat
31
Pathophysiology
the procceses within the body that result in the signs and symptoms of a disease
32
Cancer is not a single disease but
a large group of disorders
33
Most cancers are caused
by abnormal cell division
34
Normal cells divide and replace themselve at a
controlled rate
35
Benign tumors
-caused by changed cells -usually self contained
36
Malignant tumors
-cancerous -uncontrolled,abnormal
37
Sagittal plane
-divides body from left and right or halves midsagittal (equal halves) or sagittal (not equal)
38
Mestasize means to
move
39
Cancer spreads by
Mestasizing
40
Cancer spreads by
Invasion,bloodstream,lyphatic

Body plane
imaginary lines down through the body at various parts to separate body into section
49
3 main plane
Transverse, sagittal,frontal
50
Transverse (Horizontal plane)
-divides body into top and bottom part -body part above are called superior -body part below are called inferior
51
Frontal or coronal plane
Divides body into front and back sections -body parts in front are anterior -behind are lateral
52
Superficial
close to body surface
53
Deep
Away from the body surface
54
Proximal
body part close tot the main trunk of the body part of attachment
55
Distal
body part distant from point of attachment
