Digestive System • Contains • Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Pancreas, Liver, Gallbladder, Intestines • Function • To convert food particles into simpler, molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the body
Endocrine System • Contains: Glands • hypothalamus • pituitary gland • thyroid • parathyroid • adrenal glands • pancreas • testes • ovaries
Endocrine System • Function • to control growth, development, metabolism and reproduction through the production and secretion of hormones
Reproductive System • Contains • Female: Ovaries, uterus, vagina • Male: Testis, penis, prostate • Function • Allows for the continuation of the human species
Muscular System • Contains • Muscles • Function • works with the skeletal and nervous system to produce movement
Skeletal System • Contains • Bones • Femur, humerus, radius and ulna, cranium, fibula and tibia, vertebrae, pelvic bone, phalanges • Function • to provide structure and support to the body

Body Planes • How to cut the body into pieces!
Sagittal • AKA: • Lateral • Vertically divides the body right half and left half. • Midsagittal • Divides the body through the midline
Transverse • AKA • Axial • Horizontally divides the body into superior and inferior portions
Coronal Coronal • AKA • Frontal • Divides the body front to back • Into anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) portions.
Directions • Movements of the body!
Adduction • Movement towards the midline of the body
Abduction • Movement away from the midline of the body
Superior • AKA • Cephalic • Cranial • Above or higher; toward the head
Inferior • AKA • Caudal • Below or lower, toward the tail
Anterior • AKA • Ventral • Front of the body, toward the front
Posterior • AKA • Dorsal • Back of the body; toward the back
Medial • Pertaining to the middle; toward the midline
Lateral • Pertaining to the side; toward the side
External • Outside, exterior to
Internal • Within, interior to
Superficial • Toward or on the surface
Deep • Away from the surface
Proximal • Near the point of attachment to the trunk or a structure
Distal • Farther from the point of attachment to the trunk or a structure
