A

Lateral rotation

23
Q

Supination meaning

A

Rotation of hand with hand turned outwards

24
Q

Pronation

A

Rotation of hand with hand turned inwards

25
Q

Different between inversion and eversion

A

Inversion: Tilting the sole of the foot towards the midline.
Eversion: Tilting the sole of the foot away from the midline.

26
Q

Differentiates between Dorsiflexion and Plantarflexion

A

Dorsiflexion: Extending foot towards back of leg.
Plantarflexion: Bending sole of foot towards back of leg

27
Q

Blood vessels are body cavities.

True or False

A

False

28
Q

Functions of body cavities

A

Most cavities function to provide room for organs to adjust to changes in the organisms position and usually contain protective membranes and sometimes bone to protect structures.

29
Q

List two methods are commonly employed for the topographical division of abdomen

A
  1. Four quadrant patten

2. Nine region pattern

30
Q

List planes for those topographical division of abdomen

A
  1. 4-quadrant : Transumbilical and Medial plane

2. Nine region pattern: Interturbecular and Subcostal planes

31
Q

Where does the intertubercular plane cross

A

connects the tubercles of the iliac crests,

lies at the level of lumbar vertebrae 5 and is 5cm posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine

32
Q

immediately inferior to the costal margins,
passes through the lower border of costal cartilage of rib 10 and passes through the body of lumbar vertebra 3
Name of the describe plane?

A

Subcoastal plane

33
Q

Name the plane is used instead of subcoastal ,the plane is passing at the level of lumbar vertebrae 1

A

Transpyloric plane

34
Q

The plane that passes through lumbar vertebral 3 and 4

A

Transumbilical plane

35
Q

36
Q

What is dorsal cavities

A

Continuous cavity on the dorsal aspect of the body.
Houses organs of the upper central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Meninges is a multi-layered membrane within this cavity that envelops and protects the brain and spinal cord

37
Q

Name 2 dorsal cavities and explain them

A
  1. Cranial cavity anterior portion of dorsal cavity consisting of space within the skull.
    Contains: Brain, Meninges of brain and cerebrospinal fluid.
  2. Vertebral Cavity Posterior portion of dorsal cavity.
    Contains: Structures of vertebral column, including spinal cord, meninges of spinal cord and the fluid-filled space between them.
    Most narrow body cavity.
38
Q

What is ventral cavity

A

Interior space in the front of the body. Contains various organ systems – organs (lungs, heart etc.) in the ventral cavity are termed viscera. Has anterior and posterior portions divided by the diaphragm

39
Q

What is thoracic cavity

A 
Anterior ventral body cavity.
Contains: Primary organs of cardiovascular and respiratory systems (heart and lungs, etc.) but also contains organs of other systems (thymus gland, oesophagus, etc.)
Lined by two types of mesothelium:
Pleural lining (Pleura) – Lungs
Pericardial lining (Pericardium) - Heart
40
Q

“Abdominopelvic Cavity” This words is a good example of the use of O in anatomy. BREAK THIS WORD SO ITS CAN GIVE 2 CAVITIES OF VENTRAL CAVITY

A
  1. Abdominal Cavity

2. Pelvic Cavity

41
Q

Differentiates the cavities under abdominopelvic cavity

A

Abdominal Cavity: Not bound by bone, Houses many organs of the digestive and renal systems, as well as organs of the endocrine system.
Pelvic Cavity: Bound by the pelvic bones, Houses bladder and the organs of the reproductive system.
