| 1581708775 | Epithelial Tissue | Smooth, extnal layers of skin or lining of body cavities & internal organs | 0 | |
| 1581708776 | Connective Tissue | Supportive or structural materials such as bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, fat & fascia | 1 | |
| 1581708777 | Nervous Tissue | Conductive pathways which transmit information between the brain and the body | 2 | |
| 1581708778 | Blood Tissue | Carries Oxygen and nourishment to all cells of the body. Contains red and white blood cells, platelets and plasma. | 3 | |
| 1581708779 | Seven Organ Systems | -Skeletal -Muscular -Nervous -Circulatory -Respiratory -Visceral (Abdominal) -Lymphatic | 4 | |
| 1581708780 | Anatomic Position | The erect body, with feet together and the palms of the hands facing forward. | 5 | |
| 1581708781 | Flexion | Bending movement that DECREASES the angle between two parts. (Ex: Bending the elbow or clenching a hand into a fist). When sitting down, the knees are flexed. Flexion of the hip or shoulder moves the limb forward (towards the anterior side of the body). | 6 | |
| 1581708782 | Extension | Opposite of flexion. A straightening movement that INCREASES the angle between two parts. (Ex: Conventional handshake, fingers fully extended). Extension of the hip or shoulder moves the limb backward (towards the posterior side of the body). | 7 | |
| 1581708783 | Abduction | A motion that pulls a structure or part AWAY FROM the midline of the body (or, in the case of fingers and toes,spreading the digits apart, away from the centerline of the hand or foot). Ex: Raising the arms laterally to the sides | 8 | |
| 1581708784 | Adduction | A motion that pulls a structure or part TOWARDS the midline of the body or towards the midline of the limb. (Ex: Dropping the arms to the sides, bringing knees together). Regarding fingers & toes, closing the digits together. | 9 | |
| 1581708785 | Ulnar Deviation | Adduction of the wrist | 10 | |
| 1581708786 | Radial Deviation | Abduction of the wrist | 11 | |
| 1581708787 | Internal Rotation (Medial Rotation) | Internal Rotation of the shoulder or hip would point the toes or the flexed forearm inwards (towards the midline) | 12 | |
| 1581708788 | External Rotation (Lateral Rotation) | Opposite of External Rotation. It would turn the toes or the flexed forearm outwards (away from the midline) | 13 | |
| 1581708789 | Elevation | Movement in a superior direction | 14 | |
| 1581708790 | Depression | Movement in an inferior direction, the opposite of elevation | 15 | |
| 1581708791 | Surfaces Of Hands & Feet | Palm of hand (palmar) corresponds to the Sole of foot (plantar). Dorsum of hand (back) corresponds to the Dorsum of foot (top) | 16 | |
| 1581708792 | Pronation | a rotation of the forearm that moves the palm from an anterior facting position to a posterior facing positing (or palm facing down) *NOT Medial Rotation-must be performed when the arm is half flexed)* | 17 | |
| 1581708793 | Supination | Opposite of Pronation. a rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces anteriorly (palm facing up). Hand is SUPINE (facing anteriorly) in the anatomical position | 18 | |
| 1581708794 | Eversion | the movement of the sole of the foot AWAY FROM the median plane | 19 | |
| 1581708795 | Inversion | the movement of the sole TOWARDS the median plane (ex: same as when ankle is twisted) | 20 | |
| 1581708796 | Protrusion | The Anterior movement of an object. *Often applied to the jaw* | 21 | |
| 1581708797 | Retrusion | opposite of protrusion. Moving a part posteriorly | 22 | |
| 1581708798 | Protraction | Anterior movement of the arms at the shoulders | 23 | |
| 1581708799 | Retraction | Posterior movement of the arms at the shoulders | 24 | |
| 1581708800 | Anterograde Motion | Motion is in the normal direction of flow (Ex: passage of food from the mouth to the stomach) | 25 | |
| 1581708801 | Retrograde Motion | reversed flow (Ex: gastric reflux) | 26 | |
| 1581708802 | Rotation | occurs when a part turns on its axis. (Ex: The head rotates on the neck, as in shaking the head "no") | 27 | |
| 1581708803 | Circumduction | the circular movement of a body part (Ex: ball and socket joint or the eye.) It consists of a combination of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction. (Ex: "Windmilling" the arms or rotating the hand from the wrist) | 28 | |
| 1581708804 | Opposition | a motion involving a grasping motion of the thumb and fingers | 29 | |
| 1581708805 | Reposition | to release an object by spreading the fingers and thumb | 30 | |
| 1581708806 | Superior or Cranial | Toward the head end of the body; upper (Ex: the hand is part of the superior extremity) | 31 | |
| 1581708807 | Inferior or Caudal | Away from the head; lower. (Ex: the foot is part of the inferior extremity) | 32 | |
| 1581708808 | Anterior or Ventral | Front (Ex: the kneecap is located on the anterior aspect of the leg) | 33 | |
| 1581708809 | Posterior or Dorsal | Back (Ex: the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body) | 34 | |
| 1581708810 | Lateral | Away from the midline of the body (Ex: the little tow is located at the lateral side of the foot) | 35 | |
| 1581708811 | Proximal | toward or nearest the trunk or the point of origin of a part (Ex: the proximal end of the femur joins with the pelvic bone) | 36 | |
| 1581708812 | Distal | away from or farthest from the trunk or the point or origin of a part (Ex: the hand is located at the distal end of the forearm) | 37 | |
| 1581708813 | Supine | lying on back, face up | 38 | |
| 1581708814 | Prone | Lying face down | 39 |
