Anatomical positions like Anterior, dorsal, ventral.

A term used to describe the appropriate location of the body parts. in line with my examples towards the front of the body, along the vertebral surface, along the belly surface of the body respectively.

Organization of the human body.

It talks about the location of the different body cavities and the protective membranes e.g dorsal cavity; forms the dorsum or the back of the bod which helps during in born development.

Body planes & sections

They are like invisible glass like sheets that divide the body into different parts. when we make a cut along one of these imagined flat surfaces, it's called a section. common examples include sagittal plane which divides form left to right and coronal.

The Cellular structure

It refers to the organized components within a cell that perform specific functions. Example: Mitochondria generate energy, while the nucleus stores DNA and controls cellular activities.

It's vital, diverse, complex, extensive and it's the body’s largest and thinnest and one of its most important organs. Includes epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, each with distinct layers and functions essential for protection, sensation, and regulation

This is a group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function. The four main types are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous, each vital for structure, movement, protection, and communication within the body.

The skeleton is the internal framework of the human body made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints. It provides structure, protects organs, enables movement, and produces blood cells.

Divisions of the skeleton

The human skeleton consists of two main divisions: the axial and the appendicular. Bones of the appendicular skeleton form the appendages to the axial skeleton: the shoulder girdles, arms, forearms, wrists, and hands and the hip girdles, thighs, legs.

A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a common function. Tissues can be thought of as the fabric of the body, which is “sewn together” to form the organs of the body and to hold all the organs together. e.g. muscle tissue, epithelial tissue

Human cells perform essential functions: producing energy, storing genetic information, removing waste, enabling growth, sending signals, and providing structure. Examples include mitochondria for ATP and neurons for communication.

Term	Definition
Anatomical positions like Anterior, dorsal, ventral.	A term used to describe the appropriate location of the body parts. in line with my examples towards the front of the body, along the vertebral surface, along the belly surface of the body respectively.
Organization of the human body.	It talks about the location of the different body cavities and the protective membranes e.g dorsal cavity; forms the dorsum or the back of the bod which helps during in born development.
Body planes & sections	They are like invisible glass like sheets that divide the body into different parts. when we make a cut along one of these imagined flat surfaces, it's called a section. common examples include sagittal plane which divides form left to right and coronal.
The Cellular structure	It refers to the organized components within a cell that perform specific functions. Example: Mitochondria generate energy, while the nucleus stores DNA and controls cellular activities.
The skin	It's vital, diverse, complex, extensive and it's the body’s largest and thinnest and one of its most important organs. Includes epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, each with distinct layers and functions essential for protection, sensation, and regulation
Body Tissue	This is a group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function. The four main types are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous, each vital for structure, movement, protection, and communication within the body.
The Skeleton	The skeleton is the internal framework of the human body made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints. It provides structure, protects organs, enables movement, and produces blood cells.
