Definitions
The study of how disease occurs and the body's response
What is pathophysiology
These are the four main tissue types
nerve, connective, epithelial, and muscle
What is a body plane
This term means above the transverse plane
What is superior
This cavity contains both the brain and the spinal cord
What is the dorsal cavity
The disease is acquired during development of the infant in the uterus and existing at or dating from birth
What is Congenital
This type of muscular tissue does not have striations
What is visceral or smooth
This plane creates a superior and inferior section
What is transverse
This term means in front of the coronal plane
What is anterior or ventral
This cavity contains the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity
What is the ventral cavity
Refers to the cause of the disease
What is etiology
These are the three functions of adipose tissue.
What is
padding, insulation, storage of energy for later use
This plane creates a left and right section
What is sagittal, or midsagittal
This term means toward the tail
What is caudal
This cavity contains most reproductive organs
What is pelvic
Refers to the prediction of the probable course and/or expected outcome of the disease
What is prognosis
When a patient has too much tissue fluid
What is edema
This plane creates an anterior and posterior section
What is coronal plane
These structures of the head are lateral to all other structures
What are the ears
This cavity contains the heart, lungs, and the aorta
What is thoracic
Disease that is caused by a prescribed treatment
What is iatrogenic
This is the primary function of muscle tissue
What is movement and protection
This is the number you would have if you divided the body on the midsagittal plane and added up the total number of ears, legs, and and fingers on one side of the plane
What is 7
These structures are distal to the palm of the hand
What are the fingers
This cavity contains the tongue and teeth
Whay is buccal
