BSC2085 Anatomy-Physiology 1 Exam 2 Study Guide‚ Chapters 5 & 6 There are only four primary tissue types found in adult organs; epithelial‚ connective‚ nervous‚ and muscular tissue. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities‚ covers the body surface‚ and forms the lining of many organs. Connective tissue serves in most cases to bind organs to each other. Nervous tissue and muscular tissue are considered excitable tissues because they are very sensitive to outside stimuli. A simple epithelium consists

Everyone is familiar with‚ or heard of anatomy. But how did this science come about? Some people might think Aristotle‚ Celsus‚ or Herophilus‚ but in fact Andreas Vesalius who is considered the “Father of Anatomy.” His work blazed the trail for medical scholars and ordinary doctors. Vesalius is a historic figure that impacted modern society by his extensive knowledge of the human body. He set the stage for later scientific discoveries scientist made long after his death. Andreas Vesalius was a noble

Seven Organizational Approaches There are seven organizational approaches to study the human body which are body planes and body directions‚ body cavities‚ quadrants and regions‚ anatomy and physiology‚ microscopic to macroscopic‚ body systems and medical specialties. Each approach can provide a specific point of view and provides unique information by dividing or organizing the body in a logical way (Turley‚ 2011). There are three main body planes: the coronal or frontal plane‚ the sagittal
