| Question | Answer |
| Anatomy | study, classification,and description of structures and organs in body |
| Physiology | processes and functions of the body |
| Anterior/Ventral | face forward, front of body |
| Posterior/Dorsal | toward the back |
| Cranial | toward the head |
| Caudual | twoard the tail |
| Superior | toward the head or above |
| Inferior | toward the feet , lower |
| Medial | towadr the midline |
| Lateral | toward the side |
| proximal | near the trunk, |
| distal | away from structure |
| Superficial | near the surface |
| Deep | further away from body surface |
| Atoms | smallest particles that form building blocks of matter |
| Molecule | 2 or more atoms form |
| cell | smallest living units of structures and function |
| tissue | organization of similar cells that act together to perform a special function |
| system | organzation of varyng numbers of and kinds of organs to perform complex functions |
| organ | group of several kinds of tissues to perform special function |
| homeostasis | relationship betweenint/ext enviroments to maintain and promote health |
| cytoplasm | exists in cells, gel-like substance, internal living material, contains water, proteins, minerals , salts, carbohydrates |
| plasma membrane | outer shell, selectively permable, |
| Nucleus | largest organelle,Brain, |
| Ribosomes | protein factories, produce proteins and enzymes |
| Mitochondria | powerhouse, bean shaped, convert food to complex energy |
| Lysosomes | digest foods, sac-like |
| Golgi apparatus | packaging plant, waste products |
| Centrioles | rod-shaped,paired,aid in formation of spindle in mitosis |
| ER | endoplasmic reticulum |
| Mitosis | cell division where each duaghter cell has smae chromosomes as parent |
| Interpahse | first and last pahse of mitosis, whole cells |
| Propahse | nucleus forms two starnds(chromatids), centriloes form spindles |
| Metaphase | nucleus membrane and nucleous dissappear, spindle fibers attach to each chromatid |
| Anaphase | chromosomes pulled to each end of cel, and cell division begins |
| Telophase | final stage, 2 nuclei appear and chromosomes disappear |
| Active transport | movement of materials across the membrane of a cell by chemical activity that allows th cel to admit larger molecules than would otherwise be able to enter |
| Phagocytosis | process that permits a cell to engulf or to surround any foreign material and digest it |
| Pinocytosis | process by which extarcellular fluid is taken into the cell |
| passive transport | movement of small molecules across membrane of a cell by diffusion |
| diffusion | +to -; process in which solid particles in a fluid move from a higher concentration to lower, which an even distribution of particles in fluid |
| Osmosis | - to +; the passage of wateracross a selectively permable membrane with water molecules going from the less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution |
| Filtration | By force; the movement of water and particles through a membrane by force, only liquid can pass , solids too big |
| 4 Tissues | Epithelial;connective;muscles;nervous |
| Tissues | protect, absorb, secret |
| connective tissue | connects or joins, tissues or sstructures in the body |
| Forms of connective tissues | areolar;adipose, fiborous, bone, cartilage,blood |
| Muscles tissue | that contract in response to a message from the brain |
| 3 types of muscles tissue/cells | skeletal, cardiac,visceral |
| nervous tissue | is to provide rapid communication between body structure and control of body function |
| membrane | thin sheets of tissue that serve many function in the body |
| Mucous membranes | secrete mucous(thick, slippery material) which keep membranes moist and soft and protects againt bacteria |
| Serous Membranes | secrete thin, watery to prevent friction |
| Connective tissue | tissue membrane that is smooth and slick and secrete synovial fluid |
| Synovial fluid | slick , thick, colorless fluid that lubricates...hmmmm |

| LEFT hypochondriac | Sm part of stomach;part of Lg. intestine |
| RIGHT lumbar | parts of Lg and Sm intestine |
| Umbilical | a portion of transvers colon & small loops of the Sm intestine |
| LEFT lumbar | loops of Sm intestine and part of colon |
| RIGHT illiac | Cecum and parts of small intestine |
| Hypogastric | parts of Sm intestine, bladder apppendix |
| LEFT iliac | Portion of the colon and small intestines |
| Ventral cavity | thoracic and adodompelvic cavities |
