sagittal plane
divides body into left and right
midsagittal plane
Divides the body into EQUAL left and right halves
Coronel or frontal plane
Divides the body into anterior and posterior
Transverse or horizontal plane
Divides the body into superior and inferior portions

axillary region
armpit
abdominal region
inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the pelvic brim of the hip bones
pelvic region
inferior to the abdominal region, between the hip bones
deltoid region
shoulder
brachium region
arm shoulder to elbow
antecubital region
elbow
antebrachial region
forearm (elbow to wrist)
carpal region
wrist
palmar
palm of hand
dorsum
back of hand
Femoral region
thigh (hip to knee)
patellar region
anterior (front) surface of the knee
popliteal region
posterior (back) of the knee
crural region
leg from knee to ankle
plantar
sole of the foot
dorsum
top of the foot
mediastinum
body cavity between lungs
pericardial cavity
associated with the heart
parietal layer
part of a serous membrane that lines the internal surface of body wall
visceral layer
part of a serous membrane that covers external surface of organs
serous cavity
potential space between parietal and visceral layer
plasma membrane
surrounds cell and gives it form
2 components of cytoplasm
cytosol and organelles
nucleus
contains DNA
structure of plasma membrane
double layer of phospholipids with proteins scattered throughout (attatched, embedded, or floating)
cholesterols role in the plasma membrane
structural support-cellular bungee cords
role of glycocalyx in cell
participates in cell to cell recognition in the cell membrane (glycoproteins)
pros and cons of selective permeability
Pros: large bad stuff blocked, small good stuff travels freely, keeps cell structures in, and protection
Cons: protein pumps require energy and some good compounds cannot enter the cell
microvilli
Numerous tiny folds in the plasma membrane
Increases surface area of the cell for more efficient absorption through the membrane
Cilia
Larger hair-like projection
mitochondria
Produces ATP
Contains its own DNA
Presence of mitochondria is an indirect measure of cell activity level
Strictly maternally inherited
ribosomes
Protein synthesis
Free ribosomes: not attached to any other structure and creates proteins for the cell itself
Attached ribosomes: attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and creates proteins for the plasma membrane or to be exported out of the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
Network of tubules used to transport and synthesize
rough ER
Has ribosomes on walls
Synthesizes and distributes proteins
smooth ER
Has no ribosomes
Synthesizes lipids (especially steroid hormones)
Detoxifies drugs and alcohol… Lots present and liver and adrenal glands
lysosomes
Organelles containing digestive enzymes that break down waste within the cell
centrioles
Pair of rod shaped structures involved in cell division
what structure surrounds the nucleus?
Nuclear envelope
what form is DNA in when the cell is not dividing?
Chromatin
(better protection and lower chance for mutation this way)
what types of cells have a nucleolus?
Cells that have to do lots of heavy lifting like a motor neurons or muscle cells
function of the nucleolus
Synthesizes the parts that form ribosomes
Ribosomal subunits
are sex cells haploid or diploid?
Haploid
are somatic cells haploid or diploid?
diploid
two main phases of the cell cycle
Interphase and the mitotic face
what form of DNA exists in prophase
DNA is in replicated chromosomes
details of prophase
Spindle fibers go from centrioles to chromatids
The nuclear envelope begins to break down
details of metaphase
Chromosomes lineup along the center of the cell
Details of anaphase
Spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart at the centromere
Sister chromatids are now called single-stranded chromosomes
Single-stranded chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell
Details of telophase
Nuclear envelope reforms
Cleavage furrow develops (where is cytoplasm is dividing)
Cytokinesis begins
what happens at the end of mitosis
The cell re-enters interphase
meiosis versus mitosis
Meiosis is done by sex cells, has two rounds of division, and results in four genetically different haploid daughter cells
Mitosis is done by body cells, has one round of division, and results in two genetically identical diploid daughter cells
replicated double-stranded chromosome
Two exact copy sister chromatids connected by a centromere
pair of chromosomes
homologous maternal and paternal chromosomes
homologous chromosomes
One chromatid from each parent, each codes for the same genetic information
single-stranded chromosome
Single chromatid with a centromere
What happens in interphase
DNA is replicated!
