Study Notes
Anatomy and Structural Organization
- The branch of anatomy that focuses on the study of the body's structural machinery is gross anatomy.
- The level of structural organization consisting of tissues made up of similar types of cells is the tissue level.
Anatomical Terminology
- The directional term that refers to a position away from the midline of the body is lateral.
- The body plane that divides the body into right and left parts is the sagittal plane.
- The term that refers to the study of tissues is histology.
Levels of Structural Organization
- At the molecular level of structural organization, atoms combine to form molecules.
- The level of structural organization consisting of organs made up of different types of tissues is the organ level.
Directional Terms
- In anatomical terminology, 'proximal' means nearer to the point of attachment or origin.
- The directional term that refers to a position between a more medial and lateral structure is intermediate.
- A body plane that divides the body into right and left parts is a sagittal plane.
