c.Medial-Lateral
d.Proximal-Distal
e.Superficial(external)-Deep(internal)
Superior (cranial or cephalad)
Toward the head end or upper part of a structure or the body; above.
(example: The forehead is superior to the nose)
Inferior (caudal)
Away from the head end or toward the lower part of a structure or the body; below

(Example: The breastbone is anterior to the spine)
Dorsal (posterior)
Toward or at the backside of the body; behind
(Example: The heart is posterior to the breastbone)
Medial
Toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of
(Example: The heart is medial to the arm)
Lateral
Away from the midline of the body,; on the outer side of
(Example: The arms are lateral to the chest)
Proximal
Close to the origin of the body art or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk.
(Example: The elbow is proximal to the wrist [meaning that the elbow is closer to the shoulder or attachment point of the arm than the wrist is])
Distal
Farther from the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
(Example: The knee is distal to the thigh)

Away from the body surface; more internal
(Example: The lungs are deep to the rib cage)

Integumentary System
Forms the external body covering; protects deeper tissue from injury; synthesizes vitamin D; Location of cutaneous (pain, pressure, etc.) receptors and sweat and oil glands.
(waterproofing, temperature, protection…)
Skeletal System
Protects and supports body organs: provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement; blood cells are formed within bones; stores minerals.
(
Muscular System
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression; maintains posture; produces heat.
(contract for movement)
Nervous System
Fast-acting control system of the body; responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.
(brain, spinal cord, nerves for responsiveness)
Endocrine System
Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
(Slow reacting control center, excretes hormones)
Cardiovascular System
Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc.; the heart pumps blood. (Transportation mechanism for oxygen, nutrients, hormones...)
Lymphatic System
Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood; disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream; houses white blood cells involved in immunity. (complements cardiovascular system, return fluid leaked from the blood back to blood vessels…)
Respiratory System
Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide; the gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.(supply body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide…)

Organic contains carbon
Non-organic
Organic contains carbon, Inorganic does NOT contain carbon, Example: NaCl¯ (Sodium)
