| tissues | Groups of cells that perform a specialized activity |
| histology | The study of tissues |
| four major tissues | epithelial, connective, muscle, & nervous |
| epithelial tissue | forms the epidermis of skin, covers surfaces of organs, lines cavities, forms tubes etc |
| connective tissue | supports and connects other tissues and organs |
| muscle tissue | contractile tissue of the body |
| nervous tissue | tissue capable of transmitting electrical impulses |
| organs | body sturctures composed of at least two different tissue types |
| systems | composed of at least one organ and accessory structure |
| organism | highest level of organization. complete living entity |
| levels of organization | cells, tissues, organs, systems, organism |
| disease | pathological or morbid condition |
| signs | objective indicators that are observable by others |
| symptoms | subjective and is experienced by patient |
| clincal findings | results of laboratory examiniations |
| homeostasis | stable internal environment required by body cells for survival |
| pathology | when homeostasis is interrupted |
| pathogenesis | study of progression of a disease |
| etiology | study of all factors involved in development of a disease |
| hereditary | hemophilia |
| diagnosis | establishing the cause and nature of a disease |
| prognosis | prediction of course of disease and its probable outcome. |
| anatomical position | standardized orientation of the body, standing erect, face forward, feet paralell, arms hanging at side, palms facing forward |
| planes of the body | midsagittal, sagittal, coronal, transverse |
| midsagittal | right and left halves |
| sagittal | unequal right and left sides |
| coronal or frontal | front side (anterior or ventral aspect) and back side ( posterior or dorsal aspect) |
| transverse or horizontal | upper portion (superior aspect) and lower portion ( inferior aspect) |
| dorsal cavities | cranial and spinal |
| ventrial cavities | thoracic, pelvic |
| visceral | internal, internal body organs |
| abdominopelvic region | consist of nine regions |
| rt hypochondriac | upper right region beneath the ribs |
| epigastric | region of the stomach |
| left hypochondriac | upper left region beneath the ribs |
| rightt lumbar | right middle lateral region |
| umbilical | region of the navel |
| left lumbar | left middle lateral region |
| right inguinal | righl lateral region, groin |
| hypogastric | lower middle region beneath the navel |
| left inguinal | left lower lateral region, groin |
| four quadrants | RUQ, LUQ, RLQ, LLQ |
| division of spine | cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccyx |
| cervical | neck |
| thoracic | chest |
| lumbar | lower back, loin |
| coccyx | tailbone |
