terms and tissues Flashcards
axial parts
head, neck, and body
appendicular parts
arms and legs
anterior/ventral
front
posterior/dorsal
back
superior/cranial
toward the top
inferior/caudal
towards the bottom
medial
structures toward midline
lateral
structures further away from midline
proximal
limbs closer to the trunk
distal
limbs further from the trunk
4 types of tissue
nervous, muscle, epithelial, connective
proper epithelium
covers and lines outer and inner body
glandular epithelium
forms glands and secretes hormones
epithelial tissue
avascular
stomach lining cells
columnar epithelial
apical side epithelial cells
exposed to outside of body or internal cavity lining
basal side epithelial cells
attaches to basement layer
endocrine glands
secrete hormones right into bloodstream or nearby cells
exocrine glands
secrete into tubes or ducts that lead outside the body
4 types of connective tissue
proper, cartilage, bone, blood
extracellular matrix
made of ground substance and fibers
3 types of fibers
collagen, elastic, reticular
blast
immature cell that secretes ground substance and fibers
connective tissue proper types
loose and dense
loose connective tissue types
areolar (abunant around organs)
adipose-fat
reticular- spleen, marrow, lymph nodes
dense connective tissue types
regular-tendons, ligaments
irregular- dermis under skin
elastic- vertebra
cartilage- no blood or nerves
- hyaline- ribs to sternum, nose
- elastic- ears
- fibro- knee joints
bone tissue types
- spongy- heads of long bones, flat bones
2. compact- external layers of bone
sagital plane
left and right
parasagital plane
parallel to sagital
coronal/frontal plane
front and back
transverse/horizontal plane
top and bottom
