Q

What are the 3 body planes and describe them

A
  1. Median: equal right and left
  2. Frontal/ Coronal: equal or unequal front and back
  3. Transverse: a horizontal plane that divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) section.

22
Q

Superior vs. Inferior

A

Superior- toward the head
Inferior- away from the head or toward the lower part of the body

23
Q

Anterior vs Posterior

A

Anterior: toward/ at the front of the body;
Posterior: toward/ at the backside of the body

Eg.
The breastbone is anterior to the spine (Ang breastbone ay nasa harap ng spine)

The heart is posterior to the breastbone (Ang heart ay nasa likod ng breastbone)

24
Q

What’s the difference between medial, lateral, and intermediate?

A

Medial: toward/ at the midline of the body
Lateral: away from the midline of the body
Intermediate: between a more medial and a more Lateral structure

25
Q

Proximal vs. Distal

A

Proximal: close to the origin of the body or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk (Mas malapit from the attachment)

Distal: farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk (Mas malayo from the attachment)

26
Q

Superficial vs deep

A

Superficial: toward/ at the body surface (Mas outside sa body)

Deep: away from the body surface; more internal (Mas inside ng body)

27
Q

What are the types of ordinary body movements?

A

Flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, adduction, circumduction

28
Q

This type of ordinary body movement forms an acute angle between approximating body parts

A

Flexion

29
Q

This type of ordinary body movement forms an obtuse angle between two parts; angle is increased; joint is straightened

A

Extension

30
Q

Movement of the body part around its long axis

A

Rotation

31
Q

Movement away from the midline of the body in the coronal plane

A

Abduction

Eg. 2 arms sideward

32
Q

Movement that is toward the body in coronal plane

A

Adduction

Eg. Closing your arm after abduction

33
Q

It is the combination of abduction and adduction

A

Circumduction

34
Q

What are the special movements?

A

Protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, supination, pronation, inversion, eversion

35
Q

It is to move forward as in forward movement of the jaw

A

Protraction

36
Q

It is to move backward

A

Retraction

37
Q

It is to raise a body part

A

Elevation

38
Q

It is to lower a body part

A

Depression

39
Q

It is the lateral rotation of the forearm from pronated position; palm faces forward just like in anatomical position

A

Supination
(You should do pronation first before supination)

40
Q

Medial rotation of the forearm wherein the back of the hand faces forward

A

Pronation

41
Q

Inward movement of the foot/ sole faces an inward direction

A

Inversion

42
Q

Opposite of inversion; faces lateral direction/ outward

A

Eversion

43
Q

Organs in the right upper quadrant (4)

A

Colon, liver, right kidney, gallbladder

44
Q

Organs in the left upper quadrant (4)

A

Stomach, spleen, part of pancreas, part of long intestine

45
Q

Organs in the right lower quadrant

A

Appendix, right ovary (for female)

46
Q

Organs in the left lower quadrant

A

Part of small intestine, part of large intestine, left ovary (for female)

47
Q

It is the sum of all the chemical processes that occur in the body

A

Metabolism

48
Q

It is the body’s ability to detect and respond to changes in its environment

A

Responsiveness

49
Q

It includes motion of the whole body, Individual organs, single cells, and even tiny organelles inside cells

A

Movement

50
Q

It is an increase in body size.

A

Growth

51
Q

The process whereby cells becomes specialized cells

A

Differentiation

52
Q

The formation of new cells for growth, repair, or replacement or the production of a new individual

A

Reproduction

53
Q

It is the maintenance of relatively stable conditions and ensures that the body’s internal environment remains constant despite changes inside and outside the body

A

Homeostasis

54
Q

Main organs in each quadrant in the abdomen

A

Left upper: stomach
Left lower: sigmoid colon
Right upper: liver
