Objectives
Levels of structural organization Anatomical Directional and Descriptive Terms Identification of parts/areas of the body

Levels

Chemicals Substances necessary for maintaining life

Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Calcium Potassium Sodium

Molecules Combinations of chemicals

Proteins Lipids Carbohydrates Vitamins

Organelles Specialized structures within cells

Nucleus Mitochondria

Cells Basic structural level of organisms

Muscle cells Skin cells Nerve cells Blood cells Bone cells

Tissue Groups of similar cells that perform the same function

Muscle tissue Connective tissue Nervous tissue Bone

Organ Structures of at least 2 types of tissue Specific function Recognizable shape

Heart Lung Brain Stomach Liver

Organ Systems

Skeletal Muscular Nervous Integumentary Cardiovascular Respiratory Digestive Urinary Endocrine Reproductive Lymphatic

Directional Terms
Anatomical Position

Directional Terms

Anterior (ventral): toward or near the front Posterior (dorsal): toward or near the back

Directional Terms

Cranial (superior): toward or near the head, above Caudal (inferior): toward or near the tail, below

Directional Terms

Proximal: toward or near the trunk (ie. Shoulder, hip) Distal: farther away from trunk (ie. Wrist, ankle)

Directional Terms

Medial: toward or near the midline Lateral: away from the midline

Planes

Sagittal (Vertical) Frontal (Coronal) Transverse (Horizontal)

Sagittal Plane

Splits midline Separates Medial/Lateral

Frontal Plane
Coronal Plane Separates Anterior/Posterior

Transverse Plane
Horizontal Plane Superior/Inferior

Sections

Sections within Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse Planes Oblique Section
