Anatomy Basics
the study of body structures
What is Anatomy?
contains the cranial cavity and vertebral cavity
What is the dorsal cavity?
the main part of the body; head to tail
What is the axial region?
collects, processes, and responds to sensory information; controls actions
what is the nervous system?
requires energy
What is active transport?
the study of body functions
What is Physiology?
only dry membrane, is a whole organ
What is the cutaneous membrane?
far away, to the tips of your toes
What is distal?
skin, hair, and nails
what is the integumentary system?
uses vesicles to move things into the cell
What is exocytosis?

What is gross anatomy?
part of a cell that brakes down things and is responsible for apoptosis
What is a lysosomes?
divides the body into left and right sections
What is a sagittal plane?
responsible for gas exchange and nutrient transportation
What is the circulatory System?
chemical signals that are sent to a near by cell
What is a paracrine signal?
includes histology and cytology
What is microanatomy?
consist of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
What is the ventral body cavity
this is where you would find a dorsal fin
What is the posterior part of the body?
the only organ system humans can live without
What is the Reproductive System?
stops messages from being read, includes things like coffe
What is an inhibitor?
organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
What are the levels of organization?
porteins in the cell are transported using these
What is a vesicle?
outside layer/edge
What is superficial?
involves the blood vessels, bone marrow, and the spleen
What is the lymphatic / immune system?
changing a chemical from a signal to a response
What is transduction?
