Anaplasia Aplasia Dysplasia Hyperplasia Hypoplasia Neoplasia
the types of tissues
Connective Epithelial Muscle Skeletal Smooth or Visceral Cardiac Nervous
The _______ are the smallest structural units, leading up to ______________, which perform important bodily functions.
cells….body systems
Of the 4 types of tissue, how many do you think are involved in a body system such as the digestive system?
a. 4
b. 3
c. 2
d. None
a. 4 . Epithelial tissue is required for creation of the organ structures themselves; muscle tissue is required to move food through the organs and out of the body; nervous tissue is required to stimulate the muscle activity; connective tissue is required to hold the structures in the body cavities. In fact, these 4 tissues are involved in each of the 13 body systems.
What is the midsagittal plane?
Divides body into equal right and left portions, Midline of the body; Medial-toward the midline; Lateral-away from the midline
What are frontal or coronal planes?
any vertical plane passing through the body from the head to the feet, perpendicular to the sagittal planes and dividing the body into front and back portions; Divides body into front and back portions
What is a transverse plane?
Any plane cut across the body, perpendicular to the sagittal and the frontal planes and dividing the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions; Cuts across body into Superior (cranial, cephalic) and Inferior (caudal)
True or False: A frontal view is when you divide the body into equal left and right portions.
False. Frontal is looking at the front of something, so it divides the body in front and back portions.
True or False: A radiologist dictates a craniocaudal view was performed. This means the film was shot from the top of the head downward toward the tail.
True. Cranial means skull, and caudal means tail.

What are the superficial organs in the umbilical region?
