E N D
Anterior • Anterior- front or toward the front of the body
Posterior • Posterior- back or toward the back of the body
Lateral & Medial • Lateral- Further from the midline of the body. The arms are lateral to the spine. • Medial- closer to the midline of the body. The spine is medial to the arms.
Metabolism The sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body.
Catabolism Catabolism provides the energy to sustain life. The breakdown of complex organic molecules into simpler components, accompanied by the release of energy.
Feedback System Receptor- Sensor that is sensitive to a particular stimulus Control center- Receives and processes the info supplied by a receptor and sends out commands to an effector. Effector- Cell or organ that responds to the commands from the control center and effects an activity to enhance or oppose the stimulus.
pH • An acid solution (pH below 7) contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. • A basic solution (pH above 7) contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.
Peptide Bond • A peptide bond is a covalent bond between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another.
CHONPS • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen • Nitrogen • Phosphorus • Sulfur • These elements make up 96% of the bodies mass
Electron • An electron is the part of an atom that participates in a chemical reaction.
Crenation of a red blood cell may occur if it is placed in a hypertonic solution.
Translation begins when a mRNA strand binds to a small ribosomal sub unit.
An isotonic solution has an osmotic pressure equal to the solution to which it is compared.
Epithelial tissue- covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways and chambers, forms glands
Connective tissue- fills internal spaces, provides structural support for other tissues and transports materials within the body, and stores energy reserves.
Muscle tissue- specialized for contraction and includes the skeletal muscles, cardiac muscle and the smooth muscle that lines hollow organs.
Neural tissue- carries info from one part of the body to another in the form of neural impulses.
Connective tissue is where our major energy reserves are located.
Connective tissue contains collagen, elastin and reticular fibers, and several kind of cells embedded in a semi fluid ground substance.
Skeletal muscle tissue consists of cylindrical in shape with striated fibers, and many peripheral nuclei just inside the plasma membrane.
Dense regular connective tissue forms tendons and ligaments.

The stratum lucidum is only found in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
The first stage in deep wound healing is a blood clot forms at the site of injury.
Keratinocytes are the epidermal cells that make keratin which makes the skin waterproof.
The stratum germinavatum has a single layer of cuboidal to columnar cells that are capable of continued cell division.
The haversian canal or central canal within an osteon provides a pathway for the diffusion of nutrients within compact bone.
Metaphysis • The metaphysis is located between the epiphysis and the diaphysis.
Over secretion of growth hormone can cause an excessive growth in height.
A child whose bones are not fully ossified is more likely to have a greenstick fracture.
Periosteum is the dense, white, fibrous covering around a bone.
