• Anatomical position

a standardized reference posture used in anatomy and medicine to describe the location of body structures.

the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment, such as body temperature and blood sugar, despite changes in their external surroundings

macromolecules essential for life, with the two main types being DNA and RNA. It store and transmit genetic information, with DNA acting as the blueprint and RNA playing a key role in protein synthesis.

is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds all cells, separating the interior from the environment and regulating the transport of substances.

is the movement of a solvent, typically water, through a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

is a specialized cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing four genetically distinct haploid cells (gametes) from a single diploid cell.

• Epithelial tissue

is a type of body tissue that forms continuous sheets of cells covering all internal and external body surfaces and lining cavities and organs.

the thin tissue forming the outer layer of a body's surface and lining the alimentary canal and other hollow structures.

is the deepest layer of the skin that attaches to underlying muscles and bones.

is the body's framework of bones, cartilage, and ligaments that provides support, protects organs, enables movement, and stores minerals.
