Document Summary
Structure w/o function is a corpse; function w/o structure is a ghost - stephen. Medial: towards midline of the body, splits into left and right. Proximal: closer to the axis of the body. Frontal (coronal): separates body into anterior and posterior. Sagittal: separates left and right, doesn"t have to be equal, when it"s equal = axis of symmetry ex. midsagital plane, parasagittal plane. Related to nomenclature, regions not clearly de ned. Body organization: chemical level: basic building blocks, atoms make up molecules, cell: need macromolecules, cells differ in their make up which lead to the function. !2: organismal: all the systems make up a living organism. Pseudostrati ed = appearance of multi layer but actually one: shape. Squamous = squashed, wider than tall, at, scale like, involved in diffusion. Cuboidal = cube, as wide as tall, secretion. Bad if vessels did attach bc then toxins would enter vessels: cells are polarized (apical vs. basal)
