Chemistry
Entomology
Anatomy
Towards the left or right sides, or away from the imaginary mid-sagittal line that divides the body into left and right halves.
superior
proximal
lateral
Away from, or further from, the axial part of the body, when talking about an appendage (arm or leg).
lateral
distal
inferior
A slice or imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts.
longitudinal
sagittal
transverse
The tendency of a body to maintain relatively constant internal conditions that are favorable for function, despite changing external conditions.
homeostasis
physiology
stimulation
Towards the front of the body, or relatively forward, based on anatomical position.
posterior
anterior or ventral
medial
A structure containing two or more tissues and performing a specific set of functions in the body.
organ system
organ
cells
Human bodies that have been donated to science so that students may study anatomy.
educational cadavers
specimens
vivisections
The study of the function of parts of the body at all levels of organization.
chemistry
physiology
anatomy
In the middle, or towards the imaginary mod-sagittal line that divides the body into left and right halves.
anterior
superior
medial
A body standing erect, arms at the side, palms facing forward, used as a basis for anatomical directional terminology.
anatomical position
oblique position
supine position
A slice or imaginary plane that divides the body into left and right parts.
longitudinal
sagittal
coronal
Towards the back of the body, or relatively backwards, based on the anatomical position.
posterior or dorsal
distal
anterior or ventral
A slice or imaginary plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
sagittal
coronal (frontal)
transverse
The region of the body that includes the bones, muscles, and body parts of the shoulders, arms, and legs.
appendicular
axial
temporal
Towards, or closer to, the axial part of the body, when talking about an appendage (arm or leg).
proximal
posterior
superior
The region of the body that includes the bones, muscles, and body parts of the head, thorax, and abdomen.
popliteal
appendicular
axial
Above, or towards the head, in anatomical position, mostly when talking about the axial parts of the body.
anterior
superior or cranial
lateral
A group of organs working together in the body to perform a specific set of basic life functions.
tissues
organ system
cells
This system is a cycle of events in which the status of a body condition is monitored, evaluated, changed, remonitored, reevaluated, and so on.
answering system
anatomical system
feedback system
The human body can be divided into several major regions that can be identified externally, and they are:
the transverse, frontal, and sagittal
the head, neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs
a receptor, control factor, and an effector
We can use this term to describe a body that is lying face down.
anatomical position
prone position
supine position
Typically, cells group with similar cells to form the next level of organization, ____________, like muscles, membranes, and cavity linings, and nervous type.
organs
organ systems
tissues
Below, or towards the tail bone, in anatomical position, mostly when talking about the axial parts of the body.
inferior or caudal
medial
anterior
The fluid inside of cells is called ___________, while the fluid outside the body cells is called ____________.
extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid
intracellular fluid; extracellular fluid
homeostatic fluid, extracellular fluid
