what does the dorsal cavity contain
cranial cavity and spinal cavity
what is anatomical position
The body is erect, the feet are slightly apart, the head is held high,
and the palms of the hands are facing forward
,directional terms:
-above or over
-below or under
-in front of/front
-behind/after
-towards midline
-away from midline
-near origin
-far from origin
-close to surface
-further from surface
-superior/cranial (above or over)
-inferior/caudal (below or under)
-anterior/ventral (in front of, front)
-posterior/dorsal (behind, following, after, the rear)
-medial (toward middle)
-lateral (toward one side away from midline) e.g. thumb is lateral
-proximal (nearer closer to origin)
-distal (away from origin)
-superficial (closer to surface of body)
-deep (further from surface of body)
what is parietal vs visceral
-parietal (indicating component of body walls including muscle,
connective tissue and tissue covering organs)
-visceral (lines outer surface of organs)
,what is the saggital plane
divides body into left and right
What is the coronal plane?
divides body into front and back (anterior and posterior)
what is the horizontal plane
what is the oblique plane
divides body into top and bottom
passes through body at an angle
what is longitudinal plane
any plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane e.g. coronal and
sagittal are both longitudinal.
What are the four basic types of tissue
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
, what is epithelium
closely apposed (side by side) cells with very little or no intervening
intercellular substance and joined by specialized junctions
two types of epithelial tissue and their definition
glandular (produces product like hormones) and covering (cover
external and internal surfaces)
what are the four types of junctions
Tight junctions, Adhering junctions, Desmosomes, Gap Junctions
functions of epithelial cells
-support and protection: epithelium covers and lines external and
internal surfaces of thebody protecting underlying tissue from injury,
pathogens and dehydration
-permeability: allows substances to be absorbed into the body (e.g.
epitheloium in digestive tract)
-sensation: some epithelium tissues have specialized cells to detect
sensory stimuli (e.g. skin senses touch, tongue for taste)
-secretion: some secrete substances such as lubricating oil from skin
and hormones
