Document Summary

Anatomy: the structure of the body parts and their relationships to one another. Growth(increase in cell size, body parts, or organism) Cranial cavity and vertebral cavity = dorsal body cavity. Nine abdomino-pelvic regions(starting top left-right: right hypochondriac region, epigastric region, left hypochondriac region, right lumbar region, umbilical region, left lumbar region, right iliac region, hypogastric region, left iliac region. The cell theory: the cell is the structural and functional unit of life. The activity of an organism depends on the individual and collection cell functions. Biochemical activities of cells are dictated by shape of cell and speci c subcellular structures. Plasma membrane: separates intracellular from extracellular and plays a dynamic role in cellular activity. Cytoplasm: made up of cytosoll, organelles, and inclusions. Cytoskeleton: made up of micro laments, intermediate laments, and microtubules. Micro laments: give strength, compression, resistance, involved in cell motility, change in shape, endocytosis and exocytosis. Intermediate filaments: have high tensile strength, resist pulling forces on cell.
