Anatomy 🥼 Flashcards
Forearm bone on pinky side
Ulna
Forearm bone on thumb side
Radius
Belly
Middle part of muscle
twelve pairs of bones forming the wall of the thorax
Ribs
Biceps
Muscle producing the contour of the front & inner side of upper arm
Nerve in autonomic nervous system that is located in abdominal cavity
Vagus Nerve
thick muscular and flexible tubes that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the capillaries throughout the body
Arteries
Triceps
large muscle that covers the entire back of the upper arm and extends the forearm
Heart
muscular cone-shaped organ that keeps blood moving around circulatory system
Hyoid Bone
U-Shaped bone at the base of the tongue that supports the tongue muscle
oval, bony case that protects the brain
Cranium
help regulate immune response and identify molecules with foreign peptides
T cells
located in the dermis and supply nourishment within the skin and remove wastes
Lymph vessels
structure that connects spinal cord to the brain
Brain stem
Clavicle
bone that attaches sternum to the scapula
also called collarbone
Diaphragm
muscular wall that separates the thorax from the abdominal region and helps control breathing
dilation of blood vessels
Vasodilation
The study of human structure, how the body parts are organized, and the science of the structure or organisms or of their parts
Anatomy
Also known as the wrist; a flexible joint composed of eight small, irregular bones, (carpals), held together by ligaments
Carpus
Tiny, thin walled blood vessels that connect the smaller arteries to the veins. These bring in nutrients to the cells and carry away waste materials.
Capillaries
The body’s largest artery, the arterial trunk that carries blood from the heart to be distributed by branch arteries through the body
Aorta
A sensory motor nerve that,with its branches,supplies the thumb side of the arm and back of the hand
Radial nerve
Cells dividing into two identical cells(daughter cells); the normal process of cell reproduction of human tissues
Mitosis
Also known as microscopic anatomy; the study of the structure and composition of tissue
Histology
When muscles move to pull the body part toward the core of the body,such as when the biceps of the arm are activated toward the body
Flexion
When muscles straighten. When the wrist,hand, and fingers form a straight line,for example
Extension
Also known as phalanges; the bones in the fingers,three in each finger and two in each thumb,totaling 14 bones
Digits
Part of the cell that encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble substances to enter and leave the cell
Cell membrane
Part of the central nervous system contained in the cranium; largest and most complex nerve tissue; controls sensation,muscles,grandular activity
Brain
Groups of body organs acting together to perform one or more. The human body is composed of 11 major systems
Body systems
One of the organs which supports the excretory system by eliminating water and waste products
Kidneys
Body system consisting of the heart,arteries,veins, and capillaries for the distribution of blood throughout the body
Cardiovascular system
Small arteries that deliver blood to capillaries
Arterioles
Main organs of the respiratory system. Two of them,located on either side of the heart,take oxygen from the environment and transfer it to the bloodstream. They also exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide during a breath
Lungs
A gland in the abdominal cavity that secretes enzymes necessary for digestion,synthesizes proteins, and detoxifies the blood. It regulates sugar levels in the blood and helps with decomposition of red blood cells and produces hormones necessary for body functions
Liver
Nutritive fluid circulating through the cardiovascular system(heart,veins,arteries, and capillaries) to supply oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues and remove carbon dioxide and waste from them
Blood
Tissue that contracts and moves various parts of the body
Muscle tissue
Also known as nerve cell; that make up the nerves,brain, and spinal cord and transmit nerve impulses
Neuron
External protective coating that covers the body; the body’s largest organ;acts as a barrier to protect body systems from the outside elements; part of the integumentary system
Skin
