Directional Terms

Mr. Lazaroff's Anatomy & Physiology

We will have a matching quiz on these terms.
During the quiz I will DEMONSTRATE the term using examples,
and you have to MATCH the term to my example.

You must do TWO things to receive full credit:

1. Define the following terms (from your RED textbook, or from Ch. 1 of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Anatomy & Physiology).
     REWORD the definitions!
2. Give an example by making reference to specific body structures (bones, internal organs, external features, etc.).
     Do NOT use the examples given in the text!
