cuts completely through an organ, similar to cutting a hot dog into round pieces

a group of organs classified as a unit because of a common function or set of functions

the study of the structures of the body

the formation of new cells or new organisms.

membranes that are in contact with the organ/smembranes that are in contact with the organ/s

membranes that are in contact with the walls of the cavity

composed of two or more tissue types that together perform one or more common functions

a cut is made diagonally across the long axis

the ability to use energy to perform vital functions, such as growth, movement, and reproduction.

Performs the mecanical and chemical processes of digestion, absorption of nutrients, elimination of wastes

Major regulatory system that influences metabolism, growth, reproduction

Provides protection, regulates temperature, prevents water loss, helps produce vitamin D

a cut along the length of the organ

the ability of an organism to sense changes in the environment and make the adjustments that help maintain its life.

basic structural and functional units of organisms

Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and air, regulates blood pH

runs vertically through the body and separates it into right and left parts

runs parallel to the surface of ground, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts

Produces body movements, maintains posture, produces body heat

Major regulatory system that detects sensations and controls movements, physiological processes, intellectual functions

surrounded by rib cage & is separated from the abdominal cavity by the muscular diaphragm

a sagittal plane that passes through the midline of body, dividing it into equal right & left halves

bounded primarily by abdominal muscles; contains stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, pancreas & kidneys

Produces oocytes for females and sperm cells for, males for reproduction and hormones that influence sexual functions and behaviors

Provides protection and support, allows body movements, produces blood cells, stores mineral and adipose tissue

a small space enclosed by the bones of the pelvis; contains the urinary bladder, part of the large intestine, and the internal reproductive organs.

a group of similar cells and the material surrounding them

the study of the processes and functions of the body.

refers to an increase in size of all or part of the organism

Transpors nutrients, waste products, gases, and hormones throughout the body, plays a role in the immune response and regulation of body temperature

always refer to the anatomical position, regardless of the body's actual position.

a complex of organ systems that are mutually dependent upon one another

includes the changes an organism undergoes through time
