| Specialized cells grouped together to form what? | Tissue |
| How many basic tissues is the entire body made up of? | Four (4) |
| What are the four (4) basic tissues the body is made up of? | Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous |
| What are the three (3) types of muscles found in the body? | Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth |
| What is the job of the Skeletal Muscles? | They move bones. |

| Can you control the Skeletal Muscles? | Yes. |
| Can you control the Cardiac Muscles? | No. |
| Can you control the Smooth Muscles? | No. |
| The state of normal anatomy and physiology is called? | Health |
| Anything that brings the organism AWAY from the state of health is called? | Disease |
| The tendency of biological systems to maintain stability while continually adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival is called? | Homeostasis |
| This is the most complex level of body organization. | A system. |
| The levels of organization from least to greatest is the following: | Cells > Tissues > Organs > Systems |
| The Epithelial tissues cover what? | Skin |
| The Connective tissues cover what? | Bone and Cartilage |
| The Muscle tissue does what? | Moves the body inside and out. |
| The Nervous tissue does what? | Transmits information about the body and controls bodily functions. |
| What is the Pleura? | A thin membrane covering organs in the THORACIC cavity AND the cavity itself. It lies on top of the visceral layer. |
| What is the Visceral layer of pleura? | A membrane that covers the organs lies right on top. |
| What is the Parietal lay of pleura? | Membrane that covers the WHOLE THORACIC cavity. |
| What is the condition where the pleural surfaces becomes rough from inflammation? | Pleurisy |
| This is a large cavity that contains viscera (major soft organs), is divided into the THORAX and ABDOMEN, and the diaphragm is the dividing line. | Ventral Cavity |
| Left means? | Animal's left. |
| Right means? | Animals' right. |

| The animal body has two main cavities, what are they? | Smaller dorsal cavity and the larger ventral cavity. |
| What does the dorsal cavity contain? | Brain and Spinal Cord |
| What does the cranial cavity contain? | Cranium which protects the brain. |
| What does the spinal cavity contain? | Spinal canal; spine |
| What is Regional Anatomy? | The study of the areas of the body, including everything that is located in that area. (Legs, arms, etc.) |
| What is Systematic Anatomy? | The study of specific systems of the body. (Lungs, heart, etc.) |
| What are the eleven (11) Main Body Systems? | Skeletal, Integument, Nervous, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive, Muscular, Sensory, Endocrine, Urinary, and Reproductive |
| The Sagittal plane runs which way? | Up and Down |
| The Midsagittal (Median) plane is what? | A specific sagittal plane that runs down the CENTER of the body, lengthwise, dividing it into equal parts. It is parallel to the sagittal plane which may not create equal halves. |
| This plane runs across the body (with animals, vertically when looking from the side.) that divided it into cranial and caudal parts that are non necessarily equal? | Transverse Plane |
| This plane divides the body lengthwise into the top (back of animal)? | Dorsal Plane |
