This study set comprehensively covers KU Biol 240 Exam 1, focusing on anatomical positions, body planes, and directional terms. It defines key concepts like anatomical position, body planes (coronal, transverse, sagittal, parasagittal), and directional terms (proximal, distal, medial, lateral, ipsilateral, contralateral, superior, inferior, posterior, anterior). It also covers the axial and appendicular skeleton, regions, articulations, muscle actions, body cavities, tissues, histology, synovial, cutaneous, mucous, and serous membranes, epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues, epidermis, dermis, and glands. This resource helps students understand and memorize anatomical terms, providing a solid foundation for biology and anatomy studies.

Anatomical Position - ANSWER 1) body erect
Axial Skeleton - ANSWER Portion of the skeletal system that consists of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column Appendicular Skeleton - ANSWER Bones of the shoulder, pelvis, and upper and lower extremities Axial Region - ANSWER includes the head, neck, and trunk Appendicular Region - ANSWER upper and lower limbs Articulations (Joints) - ANSWER point where two bones meet Origin - ANSWER attaches to stationary bone usually proximal Insertion - ANSWER attaches to movable bone usually distal Flexion - ANSWER Decreases the angle of a joint Extension - ANSWER Increases the angle of a joint Abduction - ANSWER Movement away from the midline of the body Adduction - ANSWER Movement toward the midline of the body Pronation - ANSWER movement that turns the palm down Supination - ANSWER movement that turns the palm up Inversion - ANSWER Turning the sole of the foot inward Eversion - ANSWER Turning the sole of the foot outward Plantar flexion - ANSWER bends the foot downward at the ankle Dorsiflexion - ANSWER bending of the foot or the toes upward anterior side - ANSWER A muscle that crosses on the _____ of a joint produces flexion.
Histology - ANSWER study of tissues and relationships within the organs hypertrophy - ANSWER increase in cell size atrophy - ANSWER decrease in cell size hyperplasia - ANSWER increase in number of cells metaplasia - ANSWER change in form or cell type RARE (occurs in smokers... ciliated columnar epithelium of the trachea becomes stratified squamous epithelium) Cells (living) Matrix (non living intercellular substance) - ANSWER tissues are composed of Epithelial Tissue Muscular Tissue Connective Tissue Nervous Tissue - ANSWER 4 types of animal tissue skeletal, cardiac, smooth - ANSWER types of muscle tissue nervous tissue - ANSWER tissue that senses stimuli and transmits signals Dendrite - ANSWER the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body cell body of neuron - ANSWER contains nucleus and organelles Axon - ANSWER the neuron extension that passes messages through its branches to other neurons or to muscles or glands communication - ANSWER function of nervous tissue Skeletal tissue - ANSWER Striated, mostly voluntary (respiratory is involuntary), multinucleate (more than one nucleus) so lots of DNA to code for protein synthesis, tendon attaches muscle to bone
smooth muscle tissue - ANSWER Involuntary muscle is found in the intestines where it pushes food along the digestive tract. Also found in arteries and veins. propels food. cardiac muscle tissue - ANSWER specialized muscle tissue found only in the heart, striated and involuntary, single central nucleus, involuntary Epithelial Tissue - ANSWER avascular(no blood vessels) innervated mostly of cells (small matrix) epithelial tissue functions - ANSWER protection, produce secretions, absorption, diffusion, sensory reception Cilia & Microvilli - ANSWER increase surface area and act to move things along Cell layer 1 - ANSWER simple squamous (1 layer of flat cells) simple cuboidal simple columnar (ciliated, nonciliated) pseudostratified (ciliated, nonciliated) Transitional Cell layers 2 - ANSWER MORE THAN ONE LAYER IS ALWAYS FOR PROTECTION stratified squamous (keratinized, nonkeratinized) stratified cuboidal (more than 1 layer of cube shaped cells) stratified columnar Endothelium - ANSWER simple squamous epithelium *lines lumen of blood and lymphatic vessels *heart and chambers Mesothelium - ANSWER serous membrane (abdomino-pelvic cavity)
Irregular Connective Tissue - ANSWER White collagen fibers in different planes •Makes up fibrous capsules that surround organs •Skin dermis •Perichondrium/periosteum papillary layer of dermis - ANSWER Papillary layer: Fingerprints (dermal papillae & epidermal ridges) Reticular layer of dermis - ANSWER Reticular layer: Collagen & elastic fibers oriented in parallel bundles: which direction for best healing - ANSWER incision parallel to cleavage. Dense connective tissue (collagenous) - ANSWER Hypodermis - ANSWER loose connective tissue - areolar and adipose sebaceous glands - ANSWER secrete oil into hair follicle, except palms and soles nails made of - ANSWER dead keratinized cells hair made of - ANSWER dead keratinized cells Arrector pili muscle - ANSWER Causes hair to stand on end and goose bumps to appear (smooth muscle) Sweat glands - ANSWER merocrine and apocrine Merocrine - ANSWER exocytosis holocrine - ANSWER p apocrine - ANSWER entire cell excreted- puberty
Histology: - ANSWER study of tissues cell shape- simple - ANSWER squamous, cuboidal, columnar(ciliated and nonciliated) cell shape- stratified - ANSWER squamous (keratinized, nonkeratinized, cuboidal, columnar Cell Shape-transitional and psuedotransitional - ANSWER psuedotransitional- ciliated and nonciliated squamous - ANSWER protection Cubodial and columnar - ANSWER Secretion/absorption- protection. simple squamous epithelium - ANSWER lines lumen of blood and lymphatic muscles Simple columnar epithelium - ANSWER goblet cells Glands - ANSWER classified as unicellular or multicellular and exocrine/endocrine connective tissue - ANSWER most diverse, tendons, ligaments, fats, cartilage, bone, blood. connective tisues consists of - ANSWER fibroblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, Collagen, elastic, reticular, Connective tissue - ANSWER highly vascular,
