Lab week 1 Flashcards
lack of symmetry; irregular arrangement of body parts with no plain of symmetry to divide them into two halves
asymmetry
(ex: sponges)
arrangement of body parts around a central axis; any plane passing through the central axis divides the body into two similar halves
radial symmetry
(sea stars, jellyfish)
division of body parts into two similar halves (mirror images) by a single plane of symmetry
bilateral symmetry
(cat, cow)
anterior
nearer the front, especially situated in the front of the body, near the head
posterior
further back in position, of or nearer the rear end
dorsal
of, on, or relating to the upper side or back of an animal
ventral
relating to the front of the body, towards the belly
medial
situated near the median plane of the body, or the midline of an organ ><
lateral
situated outwards of the midline <>
Transverse plane
frontal plane
sagittal plane
proximal
distal
label the most identifiable parts of animal cells from top to bottom
- nuclear membrane
- nucleus
- nucleolus
- cytoplasm
- plasma membrane
what are the four categories of animal tissues
- epithelial
- connective
- muscle
- nervous
______ tissue covers the body
epithelial tissue
______ tissue lines cavities
epithelial tissue
______ tissue forms glands
epithelial tissue
______ tissue covers all surfaces of the body
epithelial tissue
simple epithelium squamous cells
(slide)
- one cell thick
- lines circulatory, respiratory, urinary, reproductive systems
simple epithelium columnar cells
(slide)
- one cell thick
- lines circulatory, respiratory, urinary, reproductive systems
stratified epithelium squamous
- bottom line = basal layer
- top line = stratified squamous layer
- several layers thick
- found mostly in the skin
______ tissue supports and strengthens other tissues
connective tissue
