Q

Proximal and distal are used when referring to

A

Limbs or appendages

19
Q

Median plane

A

Imaginary plane that divides the body into equal right and left halves

20
Q

Sagittal plane

A

Parallel to the median plane (can have multiple)

21
Q

Transverse plane

A

Right angles to the median plane and dividends body into cranial and caudal segments

22
Q

Horizontal plane

A

Right angle to the median and transverse planes which divide the body into dorsal and ventral segments

23
Q

Medial

A

Closer to towards the median plane

24
Q

Lateral

A

Away form the median plane

25
Cells
Small subunits of living organisms
26
Cell functions
Growth, metabolism, response to stimuli, contraction, reproduction.
27
A cell consists of three main parts
Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane
28
What cells do not have a nucleus
Red bloods cells
29
Tissue
specialized cells that preform single or multiple functions
30
Four primary types of tissues
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
31
Epithelial tissue
Cover the surface of the body
32
Two classes of epithelial tissue
Simple and stratified
33
Connective tissue
Connect, support, and anchor other tissues
34
Connective tissue functions
Connect internal organs, forms bones, forms wall of blood vessels, attaches muscle to bone, replacement tissue following injury, give rise to some blood components
35
Types of connective tissues
Elastic, collagenous, reticular, adipose, cartilage, bone
36
Elastic tissues
Kinked, yellow fibrous tissue that regain their original shape when stretched
37
Where is elastic tissue found
Arteries, abdomen, supports the spinal cord,
38
Collagenous tissues
White fibrous tissue made of the protein collagen
39
Reticular tissue
Fine fibers and cells that make up the frame work for the endocrine and lymphatic organs
40
Adipose tissue
Known as fat
41
Adipocytes
Store fat within the cytoplasm of the cell
42
Cartilage tissue
Specialized tissue that is harder then fibrous tissue but not as hard as bone
43
Bone tissue
Connective tissue which later becomes calcified to form bones
