This directional term means the opposite of the term which refers to the back, or dorsal, side of the body

What is the Respiratory System?
Subjective atypical or unhealthy conditions reported by a patient that cannot be seen or measured is called this.
What is a Symptom?
The mediastinum that surrounds the heart is an example of this type of epithelium membrane.
What is a Serous Membrane?
This protozoa has a two-part life cycle and typically infest a different host depending on the stage of the life cycle it is in.
What is a Sporozoa?
This subatomic particle is positively charged.
What is a Proton?
This is the term used to describe the appendages of the integumentary system and the organs that do not make up the gastrointestinal tract in the digestive system.
What are Accessory organs?
This pathogen is a primitive cell with no nucleus.
What is a Bacterium?
This structure forms when the stratum germinativum grows down through the epidermis and into the dermis as a way to protect and nourish the hair root.
What is a Hair Follicle?
This organ plays a role in both the urinary and male reproductive system.
These cells produce melanin.
What are Melanocytes?
This process surgically removes dead or damaged tissue/organ from a patient and replaces them with healthy tissue/organ from a donor.

What is a Full Thickness Burn?
This deep layer of the dermis is filled with an interlacing network of collagen and elastic fibers. This layer also contains nerve endings, muscle fibers, hair follicles, glands, and many blood vessels.
What is the Reticular Layer of the Dermis?
A myotic infection is a term to describe an infection caused by this pathogen.
What is Fungi?
Hormones produced by this organ system can control growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
What is the Endocrine System?
This type of pathogen can develop into resistant, dormant forms called spores.
What is Bacteria?

What is Basal Cell Carcinoma?
Sweat glands can be divided into these two types.
What are Eccrine and Apocrine Sweat Glands?
This tissue is made of multiple layers of differently shaped cells depending on if the tissue is stretched or not. It is also commonly found in areas of high stress.
What is (stratified) Transitional Epithelium?
