Separates thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity: abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity, dorsal and thoracic body cavities protect organs vital to human life, protected. Seperated by joints and fascia (connective tissue: everything on one body compartment shares developmental origin, therefore everything in one body compartment will most likely share origin and insertion and innervation. Basic tissues: tissues, created by groups of cells w/ similar structure, cells perform a common or related function, histology, study of tissues and cells, microscopic anatomy. Tissues of the body: 4 basic tissues that make up the body, epithelial, covers.
