| Towards the front Ex. The sternum is anterior to the heart | Anterior (ventral) |
| Towards the back Ex. The esophagus is posterior to the trachea | Posterior (dorsal) |
| Toward the head (superior) | Cranial/cephalic |
| On the opposite side of the body | Contralateral |
| On the same side of the body | Ipsilateral |
| Horizontal plane that divides in superior and inferior parts | Transverse Plane |
| Divides into not equal parts | Para-sagittal |
| Divides into equal parts | Mid-sagittal |
| Spaces where organs are "housed" or "kept" | Body cavities |
| Cavity where the brain is (dorsal) | Cranial cavity |
| Cavity where spinal cord is (dorsal) | Vertebral Canal |
| Cavity where lungs and heart are | Thoracic Cavity |
| Cavity where digestive organs are | Abdominal cavity |
| Serous layer of the abdominal cavity | Peritoneum |
| Contains lubricating fluid. Allows the viscera to slide during movements. Ex. lungs during respiration | Space between parietal and visceral layer of cavities |
| Quadrants | Abdominopelvic cavity subdivision |
| Hold bones together allowing movement and flexibility | Joint Function |
| - stability | + mobility |
| Sutures, Syndesmoses (interosseous membranes) | Fibrous joints types |
| Structural classification of joints in which (1) bones are held together by cartilage. (2) There are NO synovial cavities | Cartilaginous joints |
| Synchondroses and symphyses | Cartilaginous joints types |
| Dense irregular CT by which bones in synovial joints are connected | Articular capsule |
| Chondro | Cartilage prefix |
| Planar, Hinge, Pivot, Condyloid, Saddle, Ball and socket | Synovial joints types |
| More dense irregular CT compared to sutures (ligaments) and greater distance between articulating bones | Fibrous Syndesmoses |
| Fibrous syndesmoses | Gomphosis structural classification |
| Connects mandible or maxilla to tooth | Periodontal ligament |
| Substantial sheet of dense irregular CT binding two bones Ex. tibia and fibula; radius and ulna | Interosseous membrane |
| Bones are connected by hyaline cartilage Ex. epiphyseal plates; first rib and sternum (debatable) | Cartilaginous Synchondroses joint (primary cartilaginous) |

| 1. Provides structural and metabolic support for other tissues 2. Protects 3. Transports 4. Repair (well vascularised) 5. Storage (for other cells, hormones, etc) | Connective tissue function |
