Anterior ventral - ✔✔-toward the front of the body
Posterior (dorsal) - ✔✔-toward the back of the body
Medial - ✔✔toward the midline of the body
Lateral - ✔✔toward the side of the body
Proximal - ✔✔nearer to the point of attachment or to a given reference point
Distal - ✔✔farther from the point of attachment or from a given reference point
Superior (cranial) - ✔✔-above ; toward the head
Inferior (caudal) - ✔✔-below ; toward the lower end of the spine
Superficial (external) - ✔✔-closer to the surface of the body
Deep (internal) - ✔✔-closer to the center of the body
Supine - ✔✔lying face up
Prone - ✔✔lying face down
Sagittal - ✔✔Cuts through the body from front to back and divides the body into right and
left sections
,Midsagittal - ✔✔Cuts through the midline of the body from front to back and divides the
body into equal right and left sections
Frontal ( coronal ) - ✔✔Cuts at a right angle to the midline , from side to side , and divides
the body into front ( anterior ) and back ( posterior ) sections
Transverse ( horizontal ) ( axial ) - ✔✔-Cuts horizontally through the body and separates the
body into upper ( superior ) and lower ( inferior ) sections
Cell Membrane - ✔✔Surrounds and protects the individual cell .
Nucleus - ✔✔Small , round structure within the cell containing chromosomes and
nucleoplasm ( DNA [ deoxyribonucleic acid ] and RNA [ ribonucleic acid ] ) .
Chromosome - ✔✔Linear strand made of DNA carrying genetic information .
Cytology - ✔✔Study of cells including the formation , structure , and function of cells .
RNA ( Ribonucleic acid ) - ✔✔-Contained within the nucleus , is transcribed from DNA by
enzymes and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis .
Gene - ✔✔Specific segment of base pairs in chromosomes ; functional unit of heredity .
Mitosis - ✔✔Cells divide and multiply to form two cells .
Cranial Cavity - ✔✔The space inside the skull , or cranium , containing the brain .
Spinal ( Vertebral Canal ) Cavity - ✔✔The space inside the spinal column containing the
spinal cord .
, Thoracic , or Chest Cavity - ✔✔The space containing the heart , lungs , esophagus , trachea ,
bronchi , and thymus .
Abdominal Cavity - ✔✔The space containing the lower portion of the esophagus , the
stomach , intestines ( excluding the sigmoid colon and rectum ) , kidneys , liver , gallbladder ,
pancreas , spleen , and ureters . The abdomen can be divided into four sections : right upper
quadrant ( RUQ ) , left upper quadrant ( LUQ ) , right lower quadrant ( RLQ ) , and left lower
quadrant ( LLQ ) . For example , the spleen is located in the left upper quadrant of the
abdomen .
Pelvic Cavity - ✔✔The space containing the urinary bladder , certain reproductive organs ,
part of the large intestine , and the rectum .
Mucous Membranes - ✔✔These line the interior walls of the organs and tubes opening to
the outside of the body , such as those of the digestive , respiratory , urinary , and
reproductive systems . These membranes are lined with epithelium and are involved in
absorption and secretion . The mucous membrane is composed of epithelium overlaying a
layer of connective tissue called lamina propria . In some instances , the lamina propria rests
on a third layer of smooth muscle cells . Not every mucous membrane secretes mucus .
Serous Membranes - ✔✔These line cavities , including the thoracic cavity and internal
organs ( eg , heart ) . They consist of a layer of simple squamous epithelium overlaying a
layer of loose connective tissue . Serous membranes support internal organs and
compartmentalize the large cavities to hinder spread of infection . The serous membranes
are named according to their organ associations . The lungs are covered by pleura and the
heart is covered by pericardium . The serous layer also lines the abdominal cavity and is
known as the peritoneum .
Synovial Membranes - ✔✔These line joint cavities and are composed of connective tissue .
They secrete synovial fluid into the joint cavity ; this lubricates the ends of bones , so they
can move freely .
Meninges - ✔✔Meninges are composed of three connective tissue membranes found within
the dorsal cavity and serve as a protective covering of the brain and
