1. division of body: head, neck, trunk, limbs
2. What are the 2 body cavities?: ventral and dorsal
3. Body Cavities: Ventral: thoracic, abdominal, pelvic
4. Body Cavities: Dorsal Cavity: cranial, spinal, loin, lumbar region, buttocks, perineum
5. Levels of Body Organization: cells, tissues, organs, systems
6. Protoplasm: living matter, contains
proteins, nucleic acids, carbs, lipids.
7. Function of protoplasm: respiration, circulation, digestion,
absorption, secretion, excretion,
reproduction, irritability (impulse conduction
& movement).
8. 2 Types of Microscopy: light microscopy and electron microscopy
9. Light Microscopy: up to 2000x magnification
10. Electron Microscopy: much stronger,
shows organelles.
11. What are the 3 Microscopic Units: micron (1/1000mm), millimicron (1/1000micron),
angstrom(1/10millimicron)
12. Cytoplasm Organelles: Mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies, lysosomes, centrosomes,
intracellular fluid
13. 4 Basic Tissue Types: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
