✔✔eyes - ✔✔orbital
✔✔knee - ✔✔patellar
✔✔elbow (posterior view) - ✔✔olecranal
, ✔✔pelvis
definition: a basin-shaped structure in the skeleton of many vertebrates that is formed
by the pelvic girdle together with the sacrum and often various coccygeal and caudal
vertebrae and that in humans is composed of the two hip bones bounding it on each
side and in front while sacrum and coccyx complete it behind - ✔✔pelvic
✔✔breastbone - ✔✔sternal
✔✔ankle - ✔✔tarsal
✔✔back of knee (posterior view) - ✔✔popliteal
✔✔tailbone (posterior view) - ✔✔sacral
✔✔shoulder blade (posterior view) - ✔✔scapular
✔✔belly button - ✔✔umbilical
✔✔chest area - ✔✔thoracic
✔✔spine (posterior view) - ✔✔vertebral
✔✔definition: an integrated group of cells with a common structure and function -
✔✔tissue
✔✔forms the linings, coverings, and tissue of the body, cells are tightly packed, forming
sheets
(squamous cells: flattened, scale-like)
definition: sheets of tightly packed cells that line organs and body cavities - ✔✔epithelial
tissue
✔✔simple columnar epithelial tissue - ✔✔what is this?
✔✔protects, supports, and binds together other body tissues, made up of different types
of cells called the matrix
(bone, cartilage, adipose tissue, blood, tendons, ligaments)
definition: animal tissue that functions mainly to bind and support other tissues, having a
sparse population of cells scattered through an EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX.
(hint: extracellular matrix always signifies connective tissue) - ✔✔connective tissue
✔✔ligaments - ✔✔what connects bone to bone?
