  • Epithelial tissue features= covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways and chambers, forms secretory glands
  • Epithelial tissue=
  • Connective tissue features= fills internal spaces, provides structural support, stores energy
  • Connective tissue=
  • types of connective tissue= proper, fluid, supporting- bone/cartilage
  • types of epithelial tissue= epithelia, glands- exocrine/endocrine
  • Muscle tissue features= contracts to produce movement
  • Muscle tissue types= skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
  • Nervous tissue features= conducts electrical impulses, carries information
  • Homeostasis= maintaining the internal environment
  • two homeostasis mechanisms= feedback and feedforward
  • Anatomical position conditions= upright, face forwards, feet together, palms face forwards
  • Anterior= closer to the front
  • Posterior= closer to the back
  • Superior= above
  • Inferior= below
  • medial= middle
  • lateral= sideways
  • proximal= above on the same limb
  • Distal= below on the same limb
  • Deep= further from the surface
  • Superficial= closer to the surface
  • Coronal= front and back sections
  • Saggital= left and right
  • Transverse across into top and bottom halves
  • coronal movement= side to side
  • sagittal movement=back and forwards
  • transverse movement = rotating
  • flexion= decreasing angle
  • extension= increasing angle
  • dorsiflexion= toes toward face
  • plantar flexion= point toes
  • adduction= towards midline
  • abduction= away from midline
  • inversion= sole of foot faces midline
  • eversion= sole of foot faces away from midline
  • circumduction= drawing a circle with hand or foot
  • rotation= pivot around the long axis of a joint
  • pronation= palm faces posterior
  • supination= palm face anterior
