Front

Facilitated Diffusion

Back

A type of passive transport that requires the use of transport proteins to move substances across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Front

Transverse Plane

Back

A horizontal plane that divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts.

Front

Hydrophilic

Back

A term describing substances that are 'water-loving' and can easily interact with water.

Front

Diffusion

Back

The process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Front

Active Transport

Back

The movement of substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

Vesicular Transport

Back

A type of active transport that involves the movement of materials in vesicles, including endocytosis and exocytosis.

Front

Midsagittal Plane

Back

A vertical plane that divides the body into right and left halves.

Front

Oblique Plane

Back

A plane that divides the body at an angle, not strictly horizontal or vertical.

Front

Hydrophobic

Back

A term describing substances that repel water and do not mix with it.

Front

Osmosis

Back

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
