Answer 1

Frontal( forehead)

Parietal (Top of skull)

Temporal( Temple)

Occipital (Rear of skull)

Nasal(Nose)

Orbital (Eye Socket)

Zygomatic(Cheeks)

Answer 2

Coccyx (Tailbone)

Question 3

Upper Airway

Answer 3

Consists of:

Nares(nostrils) and nasal cavity

Mouth and Oral cavity

Pharynx(Naso and Oro)

Laryngopharynx(Hypopharynx)

Larynx

Upper airway ends at the level of cricoid cartilage(Adams apple), the ring that forms the most inferior portion of the larynx

Conditions affecting the respiratory tract and lungs are often referred to as upper or lower airway obstruction

Example: A patient with vomit in the mouth has an upper airway obstruction. A patient who breathes in superheated air resulting in swelling to the larynx also has an upper airway obstruction

Question 4

Lower Airway

Answer 4

Consists of:

Trachea

Bronchi

Bronchioles

Alveoli

Conditions affecting the respiratory tract and lungs are often referred to as upper or lower airway obstruction.

Example of lower airway obstruction: Asthma attack causing swelling and constriction of the bronchioles

Question 5

Epiglottis

Answer 5

A flexible cartilage that extends superiority toward the tongue to form a flap. When swallowing occurs the larynx moves upward and the epiglottis tips posteriorly until it covers the opening into the larynx.

Epiglottis protects the glottic opening from swallowed food and liquid allowing food and liquid into the esophagus.

An added protection mechanism is the true and false vocal cords coming together to close the trachea to prevent food and liquids from entering

Question 6

Digestive System/Alimentary Tract

Answer 6

Alimentary starts at mouth, beginning of digestion/chemical breakdown into pharynx into laryngopharynx into esophagus/mediastinum pass diaphragm into stomach(LUQ) into Large/small intestines (LLQ) into Rectum/Anus

Pancreas (RUQ): produces digestive enzymes to breakdown food

Question 7

Urinary System Function

Answer 7

Kidney filters/ reabsorbs

Ureter: smooth muscle that Carrie’s urine into bladder

Urinary bladder to urethra

Ovaries

Fallopian tubes

Uterus

Cervix

Vagina

Question 9

Answer 9

Testes
