Anatomincal Directional Terms

  1. refers to a structure being closer to the midline of the body.
  2. refers to a structure being further from the midline of the body.
  3. refers to a structure or body part located near an attachment point.
  4. refers to the structure or body part located far from an attachment point.
  5. means towards the front.
  6. means towards the back
  7. means above and refers to a structure closer to the head.
  8. means below and refers to a structure farther from the head.
  9. refers to a structure closer to the surface.
  10. refers to a structure farther from the surface. List the term for each body region.

  1. tissue covers the external surfaces of organs and lines many of the body's cavities. This helps to protect against invasion by microbes (bacteria, parasites, viruses), uid loss, and injury. Epithelial cells shapes can be: squamos, cubodial, or columnar.
  2. tissue supports and connects the tissues and organs of the body.
  3. The system includes skin, hair, nails, oil glands, and sweat glands.
  4. The acts as a barrier and protects the body from mechanical impact, variations in temperature, peripheral circulation, and excretes waste through sweat.
  5. There are 3 layers of skin: the surface , the inner , and the subcutaneous.
  6. The is composed of rapidly dividing cells that push old cells to the skins surface.
  7. in the stratum basale produce the pigment , which absorbs UV rays and protects the skin.
  8. The skin has a role in the human body that is controlled by a negative feedback loop.
  9. The control center of temperature regulation is the in the brain.
  10. The glands secrete substances through ducts.
  11. glands secrete substances into the blood stream.
  12. glands ( )are attached to hair follicles.
  13. is an oily substance that moisturizes the skin, protecting it from water loss. It also keeps the skin elastic and its slight scidity provides a chemical defense against bacteria and fungal infections.
  14. Sweat glands not attached to hair follicles are called glands. They are all over the body, and they are the sweat glands responsible for thermoregulation. They also remove waste by secreting water and electrolytes.
  1. glands are only active post puberty. They secrete a thicker, viscous substance that is attractive to bacteria, leading to the unpleasant smell in armpits, feet, and groin areas. Can be stimulated by stress or arousal.
