    head region: includes the nasal, oral, frontal, orbital, buccal. mental, otic, and occiptial
  48. apperdicular region
    this consists of the limbs or appendages of the body.
  49. axial region
    • the part that comprises tha main axis of the body, is know as the.
    • it includes the cephalic, cervical, and the trunk
  50. anatomical regions
    when the body is divided into two regions, the axial region and the appendicular region. these are known as the?
  51. anatomical postion
    when the human body is in this postion the body is erect and the head, toes, and palms are facing anteriorly
  52. organism
    the organ system comprise this
  53. organ systems
    one or more organs working together to preform one of more specific fuctions in the body comprise this.
  54. organs
    these are aggregations of tissues working togther to preform one or more specific fuctions in the body
  55. tissues
    cells and associated intercellular material working together to perform one of more specific function in the body form this.
  56. cells
    atoms combine to form moecules, and moecules form this.

    a cut in the tranverse plane
  73. transverse plane
    a plane stright across the body, at right angle to the longitudinal axis
