pratical Flashcards
histology
study of microscopic anatomy of tissues
epithelial tissue
protect underlying tissues from dehydration and mechanical damage, provide a selectively permeable barrier, provide sensory surfaces, and secrete fluids.
Dorsal
Toward the upper surface (back)
Ventral
Toward the lower surface (belly)
Anterior
Toward the head
Posterior
Towards the tail
Cranial
Towards the head
Caudal
Toward the tail
Medial
Toward the midline of the body
Proximal
Toward the end of the appendage nearest the body
Lateral
Away from the midline of the body ; toward the side
Distal
Toward the end of an appendage farthest away from the body
Frontal plane
Divides the body into dorsal and ventral halves; two-dimensional plane parallel to the anterior-posterior axis and perpendicular to the dorsal-ventral axis
Transverse Plane
A cross section; two dimensional plane perpendicular to the anterior-posterior axis of the body
Sagittarius plane
Divided the body into the left and right halves; two dimensional plane parallel to the anterior-posterior axis and parallels to the dorsal-ventral axis
Cervical
Neck
Pectoral
Where forelegs meet
Thorax
Chest region
Pelage
The rats coat
Vibrissae
Whiskers on the face
Nares
Nostrils
Incisors
Large front teeth
Nictitating membrane
Corner of the eye, for protection
Ears

Prepuce
Bulge of skin surrounding the penis
Quadruped
Four legs
Plantigrade
Walking with heels and foot
Urogenital office
Where both urine and sperm
Axial skeleton
Skull and vertebral column
simple squamous epithelial
alveoli of lungs, a minimul barrier for diffusion
simple cuboidal epithelial
line the respitory and instine tracts and ducts, covers and protects underlying tissues.
simple columnar epithelium
instine, protects underlying tissues
stratified squamos epithelium
skin, covers and protects underlying tissues
pseudostratified columnar epithelial
trachea, covers and protects underlying tissues
grandular epithelium
some glands on the body, secretes fluids.
subcutaneuos tissue
under the skin, produce collagen and elastic fibers
reticulin fibers
spleen and ly,ph nodes, supports glands
macrophages
use or defense- immune system
adipose tissue
store food
dense connective tissue
between muscle and bone, suport, connect muscle to bone
