Materials used in studying Anatomy
- BOOKS - CHARTS, DRAWINGS, AND ATLASES - HUMAN MODELS OR CADAVERS - LIVING BODY
30
Four Basic Reference System
- Direction - Fundamental Planes - Cavities - Structural Units
31
A vertical plane that divides the body into right and left halves.
Median/Sagittal Plane
32
A vertical plane that divides the body into right and left EQUAL halves.
Midsagittal Plane
33
A vertical plane that divides the body into right and left UNEQUAL halves.
Parasagittal Plane
34
A vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior halves.
Coronal/Frontal Plane
35
A horizontal plane that divides the body into superior and inferior halves.
Transverse Plane

System
65
Four fundamental tissues
A. Epithelial B. Connective C. Muscular D. Nervous
66
This tissue covers the surface of the body and line the various body cavities, ducts, and vessels
Epithelial Tissue
67
It is derived from the mesoderm and has the following functions: a. Support (cartilages and bones) b. For the attachment of other tissues (tendons, ligaments, and fascia) c. Specialized function (blood)
Connective Tissue
68
It is composed of specialized cells capable of contracting, and thereby decreasing in length.
Muscular Tissue
69
It forms the brain, spinal cord and nerves. These transmit messages throughout the body.
Nervous Tissue
