Distal part refers to the farthest point from the center of the body
Coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior sections
Transverse plane is a horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections
Medial part refers to the middle point of the body or a structure

Sebaceous Glands Secretions

Sebaceous glands secrete sebum
Sebum is an oily substance that helps to moisturize the skin and hair
Sweat glands, on the other hand, produce sweat, which helps to regulate body temperature

Movements and Muscles

Pronation is a movement that involves rotating the forearm so that the palm faces downward
Extension is a movement that involves increasing the angle between two bones
Rotation is a movement that involves rotating a bone around a fixed axis
Erector pili muscle is responsible for causing hair to stand upright

Muscle Types

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and help to move the body's skeleton
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body

Epidermis and Dermis

The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin
The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis
The epidermis is closely connected to the dermis, with the dermis providing support and structure to the epidermis
