18
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
Q

Cells

A

Small subunits of living organisms

26
Q

Cell functions

A

Growth, metabolism, response to stimuli, contraction, reproduction.

27
Q

A cell consists of three main parts

A

Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane

28
Q

What cells do not have a nucleus

A

Red bloods cells

29
Q

Tissue

A

specialized cells that preform single or multiple functions

30
Q

Four primary types of tissues

A

Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous

31
Q

Epithelial tissue

A

Cover the surface of the body

32
Q

Two classes of epithelial tissue

A

Simple and stratified

33
Q

Connective tissue

A

Connect, support, and anchor other tissues

34
Q

Connective tissue functions

A

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
Q

Types of connective tissues

A

Elastic, collagenous, reticular, adipose, cartilage, bone

36
Q

Elastic tissues

A

Kinked, yellow fibrous tissue that regain their original shape when stretched

37
Q

Where is elastic tissue found

A

Arteries, abdomen, supports the spinal cord,

38
Q

Collagenous tissues

A

White fibrous tissue made of the protein collagen

39
Q

Reticular tissue

A

Fine fibers and cells that make up the frame work for the endocrine and lymphatic organs

40
Q

Adipose tissue

A

Known as fat

41
Q

Adipocytes

A

Store fat within the cytoplasm of the cell

42
Q

Cartilage tissue

A

Specialized tissue that is harder then fibrous tissue but not as hard as bone

43
Q

Bone tissue

A

Connective tissue which later becomes calcified to form bones
