microscopic anatomy - ANSstructures too small to be seen with the naked eye
gross anatomy - ANSStudy of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
regional anatomy - ANSSpecific regions of the body
surface anatomy - ANSsuperficial and internal structures as they relate to their location on the
body surface
systemic anatomy - ANSstudies structures involved with a specific activity
parietal layer - ANSlines the internal surface of the body wall
visceral layer - ANScovers external surface of organs

tissue - ANSA group of similar cells that perform the same function.
, extracellular matrix - ANScomposed of ground substance and fibers
epithelial tissue - ANSlines every body surface and all body cavities
cellularity - ANScomposed almost entirely of cells
polarity - ANSepithelial cells have an apical surface and a basal surface
attachment - ANSbasal surface attaches to basement membrane

innervation - ANSEpithelia are richly innervated to detect changes in environment
high regeneration capacity - ANSBecause the apical surface is constantly exposed to the
environment, epithelial cells are frequently damaged or die; they are replaced as quickly as they
are lost
characteristics of epithelial tissue - ANSattachment, avascularity, innervation, high regeneration
capacity
basement membrane - ANSCells at the base of an epithelial layer are attached to this.
intercellular junctions - ANStight junctions, adhering junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions
tight junctions - ANSgatekeepers between external and internal environments.
adhering junctions - ANScement cells together
desmosomes - ANSbutton or snap between adjacent cells
gap junctions - ANSallows cells to communicate with each other by the flow of ions and small
molecules
keratin - ANShard protein material found in the epidermis, hair, and nails
endocrine gland - ANSa ductless gland that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream
exocrine gland - ANSpossess ducts and their cells secrete products into their ducts
