| Epithelial Tissue | protects the body by covering internal and external surfaces, and produces secretions. |
| Connective Tissue | supports and connects organs and tissue. |
| Muscle Tissue | has the ability to contract and move the body. |
| Nervous Tissue | cells that react to stimuli and conduct an impulse. |
| Adipose Tissue | type of connective tissue that stores fat cells. |
| Ligaments | strong, flexible bands of connective tissue that hold bones firmly together at the joints. |
| Tendons | white bands of connective tissue attaching skeletal muscle to bone. |
| Cartilage | firm, flexible support of the embryonic skeleton and part of the adult skeleton. |
| Tissues | cells grouped together because they are similar in shape, size, stucture and function. |
| Membranes | formed by putting two layers of tissues together, cells may secrete a fluid. |
| Mucous Membranes | lines digestive, respiratory, reproductive and urinary systems - produces mucous to lubricate and protect the lining. |
| Serous Membranes | double-walled membrane - produces a watery fluid, lines closed body cavities. |
| Paietal Membrane | outer part of the membrane that lines the membrane. |
| Visceral Membrane | part that covers the organs. |
| Pleural Membrane | lines thoracic or chest cavity and protects the lungs. |
| Pericardial Membrane | lines the heart cavity and protects the heart. |
| Peritoneal Membrane | lines the abdominal cavity and protects abdominal organs. |
| Anatomy | study of parts of the body. |
| Physiology | function of the body. |
| Anatomical Position | stading erect with face forward, arms at the side, palms forward. |
| Anterior/Ventral | front or in front of. |
| Posterior/Dorsal | back or in back of. |
| Cranial | refers to the head of the body. |
| Caudal | means tail end. |
| Superior | upper or above somethng. |
| Inferior | lower or below something. |
| Medial | toward the middle. |
| Lateral | toward the side of the body. |
| Proximal | toward the point of attachment to the body or trunk of the body. |
| Distal | away from the point of attachment to the body. |
| Superficial (External) | near the surface or outside of the body. |
| Deep (Internal) | inside the body. |
| Planes | imaginary anatomical dividing planes. |
| Section | cut made through the body in the direction of a certain plane. |
| Sagittal Plane | divides the body into left and right parts. |
| Coronal (Frontal) Plane | vertcal cut at right angles to saggital plane, divides the body into anterior and posterior portions. |
| Transverse Plane | cross-section, a horizontal cut thet divides the body into upper and lower parts. |
| Dorsal Cavity | contains the brain and spinal cord - the brain is in the Cranial Cavity and the spinal cord is in the Spinal Cavity. |
| Anterior/Ventral Cavity | contains the Thoracic and Abdominopelvic cavities. |
| Thoracic Cavity | contains the lungs and the heart. |
| Abdominal Cavity | contains stomch, intestines, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. |
| Pelvic Cavity | contains urinary bladder and reproductive organs. |
