Lowest level of structural organization in the human body | Chemical |
Four basic types of tissue | Epithelial, Muscular, Connective and Nervous |
10 systems of the body | Skeletal, Circulatory, Digestive, Respiratory, Urinary, Reproductive, Nervous, Muscular, Endocrine, Integumentary |
Eliminates solid waste from body | Digestive System |

Study of joints or articulations | Arthrology |
3 functional classifications of joints | Synarthrosis, Amphiarthrosis, diarthrosis |
3 structural classifications of joints | Fibrous, Cartilaginous, Synovial |

what is an image of a patient's anatomical part by action of xray | radiograph |
what aspect of an xray beam has the least divergence (unless angulation) | Central Ray (CR) |
upright postion, arms abducted, palms forward, head and feet directed straight ahead | Anatomic position |
Vertical plane dividing body in equal left and right parts | Saggital |
Vertical plane divinding body into equal anterior and pposterior parts | Coronal |
Plane taken at right angles along any point of the longitudinal axis | horizontal (transverse) |
Plane located between infraorbital margin and the superior margin of the external auditory meatus | Base plane of the skull/ Frankfort Horizontal plane |
direction/path of the central ray (CR) | Projection |
Positioning term that describes the general and specific body postion | Position |
Which positions are described according to the side of the body closest to the image receptor? | Oblique and Lateral |
Which positions ALWAYS use the horizontal xray beam? | Decubitus |
what is the name of the projection in which the central ray (CR) enters the anterior and exits the posterior? | Anteroposterior (AP) |
Projection using a (CR) angle of 10° or more directed along the long axis of the body | Axial |
Postion that demonstrates the aspices of the lungs, w/o superimposition of the clavicles | Lordotic (from Lordosis) |
