Cells that are cylindrical in shape.

Forms the epidermis (top layer of the skin) and surface layer of the membranes.

Composed of cells that are able to form tissues of various consistencies which connect and support other body tissues.

Composed of cells called neurons, which function to transmit nerve impulses by the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters.

Composed of cells called fibers, which shorten or lengthen as each muscle cell contracts or relaxes.

Imaginary line that runs from the head to the feet and through the umbilicus and divides the body into right and left halves.

Includes the head, neck and trunk portion of the body.

Includes the arms, or upper extremities, and the legs, or lower extremities.

Runs vertically from front to back and divides the body into right and left halves.

Runs vertically from left to right and divides the body into front and back portions. Also known as the coronal plane.

Runs horizontally and divides the body into upper and lower portions.

Motion occurs in an anterior and posterior direction, such as flexion and extension.

Motion occurs in a medial or lateral direction. Motions include abduction and adduction, radial and ulnar deviation, and eversion and inversion.

Motion occurs in a horizontal direction or produces a rotation of the body. Motions include medial and lateral rotation, pronation and supination, and horizontal adduction and abduction.

Located on the posterior or back part of the body.

Contains the brain.

Contains the spinal column.

Contains the lungs, heart, great vessels, trachea and thymus.

Contains the stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and large and small intestines.

Contains the sigmoid colon, rectum, bladder, and - in females - the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

Located on the anterior or front side of the body and consists of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.

Movement away from and towards the body.

Toward the front (ventral) and back (dorsal).

The lower or supporting part of any structure and the pointed tip of a conical structure.

Toward the head (cranial) and toward the feet (caudal).

Movement toward the front (anterior) and the back (posterior), except at the knee joint.

Toward and away from the midline.

Rotation movement of the forearm to palm down and palm up.

Nearer to and further from the axial body.

Lying horizontally facing upward and downward.

Further into the body and nearer to the surface of the body.

Front/anterior and back/dorsal.

Movement toward the front or anterior direction.

Movement of the wrist away from the body.

Movement of the scapula toward the spinal column.

Rotation movement of the shoulder or hip toward the midline.

Movement of the arm away from the midline.

Movement of the ankle causing the bottom of the foot to face toward the side or laterally,
