top number in the square periodic table
atomic number= number of protons, therefore number of neutrons
properties of each element can be predicted based on its
location in the periodic chart

cross section
closer to point of attachment
proximal
farther away from the point of attachment
distal
cut through the mid line
transverse
cut person in half
sagittal
cut person w a front and back

takes place in gonads, ovaries and testes; chromosome number is reduced from 46 to 23
meiosis
largest organ of the body
skin
in a chemical reaction, no energy is lost but neither is mass destroyed
law of the conservation of mass
