Anatomy And Physiology Final Exam Updated 2024 Serous Membrane - a mesothelial tissue which lines certain internal  cavities of the body, forming a smooth, transparent, two-layered membrane  lubricated by a fluid derived from serum. The peritoneum, pericardium, and  pleura are serous membranes Building blocks of proteins? - amino acids Monosaccharides - Single sugar molecules Urea - A chemical that comes from the breakdown of proteins Solute - the substance that is dissolved Solvent - the substance in which the solute dissolves Diffusion - Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to  an area of lower concentration Filtration - High to low pressure; how substances leave and enter our  bloodstream and kidneys Cell Organelles - the parts of the cell that perform life functions Ribosomes - Makes proteins, they get their instructions from RNA who  delivers the message from DNA Hypotonic Solution - Solute concentration is less than that inside the cell;  cell gains water Hypertonic Solution - A solution in which the concentration of solutes is  greater than that of the cell that resides in the solution Isotonic Solution - a solution whose solute concentration is equal to the  solute concentration inside a cell Distal - Away from the point of attachment Proximal - Closer to the point of attachment Inferior - Located below another part (closer to the feet) Superior - Above another part or closer to the head Sagittal Plane - Divides the body into equal left and right portions Frontal plane (coronal plane) - Divides the body into anterior and posterior  planes (front and back) Transverse Plane - divides the body into superior and inferior parts Oblique planes - pass through the body at an angle Cranial cavity - brain (dorsal cavity) Spinal cavity - spinal cord (dorsal cavity) Thoracic cavity - contains heart and lungs (ventral cavity) Abdominal Cavity - Contains stomach, intestines, spleen, and liver, and other  organs (ventral cavity) Pelvic cavity - Contains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum  (abdominopelvic cavity/ ventral cavity) What kind of tissue is adipose tissue? - connective tissue Epidermis - outermost layer of skin Hypodermis - Aso called a subcutaneous layer, this is a layer of *fat located  under the dermis of the skin. The hypodermis helps to insulate the body and  protects underlying muscles and other structures. Smooth muscle - involuntary muscle found in internal organs Skeletal Muscle - A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and  provides the force that moves the bones Coxal bone - hip bone Flexion - Decreases the angle of a joint (bending) Elbow joint allows for ? - Flexion and extension Extension - Straightening of a joint Abduction - away from the midline Adduction - movement toward the midline
