  • Levels of Organization

    Atom-->Molecule---> Macro-molecule----> Organelles

  • Cell

    The basic structural and functional unit of life

  • Tissue

    A collection of cells that perform a particular function

    -Connective tissue

    -Epithelial tissue

    -Muscle tissue

    -Nervous tissue

  • Organ

    A collection of tissues that perform a particular function.

    -Heart

    -Brain

    -Liver

    -Lungs

    -Stomach

    -Kidneys

    -Spleen

    -Colon

    -Small intestine

  • Organ Systems

    A collection of organs that perform a particular function

  • Organism

    A collection of organ systems that perform homeostasis

  • Anatomical Position

    Common reference point for all anatomical terms

    -Standing upright

    -Feet parallel and forward

    -Arms down at sides

    -Palms forward

  • Directional terms: Superior

    Toward the top; Above

    Ex.) Your shoulders are superior to your hips

  • Directional terms: Inferior

    Toward the bottom; Below

  • Directional Terms: Anterior

    Anterior: Toward the front

    Ex.) Your chest is anterior to your back

  • Directional Terms: Medial

    Medial: Toward the midline of the body.

    Ex.) Your nose is medial to your ears.

  • Directional terms: Lateral

    Lateral: Away from the midline of the body.

  • Directional Terms: Superficial

    Away from the deepest internal portion of the body.

  • Directional terms: Deep

    Innermost region; Away from the outer surface of the body.

    Ex.) The heart is deep to the rib cage.

  • Directional Terms: Proximal

    ONLY for the extremities

    Proximal: Closer to the attachment point

  • Directional Terms: Distal

    Distal: Further away from the attachment point.

  • Planes of reference

    3 fundamental planes of reference used to depict structural arrangement.

  • Sagittal Plane

    A plane that passes lengthwise through the body (front <-->back)

    -Divides the body into right and left portions

    A plan that divides into equal right and left portions is midsagittal or median.

  • Coronal Plane

    Coronal (frontal): A plane that passes lengthwise through the body (side <---> side)

    Sections: Divides the body into ventral and dorsal portions.

  • Transverse Plane

    (Horizontal; cross-sectional): A Plane that passes cross-sectionally through the body.

    Sections: Divides the body into cranial and caudal sections
