    • Types of cells: epithelial, muscle, nerve, connective.

    Tissues

    • Types of tissues:
      1. Epithelial: covers body surfaces and lines cavities.
      2. Connective: supports and binds other tissues (e.g., bone, blood).
      3. Muscle: responsible for movement.
      4. Nervous: transmits impulses for communication.

    Body Planes and Directional Terms

    • Planes:
      • Sagittal: divides body into left and right.
      • Frontal (coronal): divides body into front and back.
      • Transverse: divides body into upper and lower parts.
    • Directional terms:
      • Superior: towards the head.
      • Inferior: towards the feet.
      • Anterior: towards the front.
      • Posterior: towards the back.
      • Medial: towards the midline.
      • Lateral: away from the midline.

    Body Cavities

    • Dorsal cavity: houses the brain and spinal cord.
    • Ventral cavity: contains thoracic and abdominal organs.
    • Thoracic cavity: includes lungs and heart.
    • Abdominal cavity: contains digestive organs.

    Homeostasis

    • The body’s ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes.
    • Key processes: feedback loops, regulation of temperature, pH balance.
