Anatomy Terms Flashcards
What is the Anatomical position?
Feet together, facing forward arms at side with palms up.
Name 3 plaines of the body.
Coronal/Frontal
Sagittal
Transverse
Identify movements made in the coronal plane.
Abduction and Adduction
Identify movements made in the sagittal plane.
Flexion and Extension
Anterior/posterior- which means more towards the frontside?
Anterior = Forwards Posterior = Backwards
Superior/inferior- which means more towards the feet?
Superior = Higher/ Above Inferior = Lower/Below
Medial/lateral- which means more towards the midline?
Medial = Middle/Toward the midline Lateral = Side/Away form the midline
Proximal/distal- which means closer to the point of trunk attachment.
Proximal = Closer to Distal = Farther away
Superficial/deep- which means closer to the surface?
Superficial = Near the surface Deep = Farther form the surface

Can you identify the elements (stimulus, sensor/receptor, control center, output effector, reponse) of the homeostatic controls that regulate body temperature?
Stimulus: Sensor/Receptor: Control Center: Output: Effector: Response:
Given:
Decrease in CRH
Increase in ACTH
Increase in Corisol
Where is the Adenoma?
Hypothalmus
A patient presents a tumor in the anterior pituitary in the part that affects cells secreting FSH/LH.
Predict levels of :
GnRH, FSH/LH, and est/prog
Decreased levels of GnRH Increased levels of FSH/LH
Increased levels of est/prog
- A patient presents a tumor in the hypothalamus in the part that affects cells secreting CRH. Predict levels of :
CRH, ACTH, cortisol
Increased levels of CRH,
Increased levels of ACTH
Increased levels of cortisol
Metabolism
Sum total of the chemical reactions occurring in the body cells
Transverse plane
A plane running from right to left, dividing the body or an organ into superior and inferior parts
Atmospheric pressure
Force that air exerts on the surface of the body (760 mmHg at sea level)
Visceral organs (viscera)
A group of internal organs housed in the ventral body cavity
Midsagittal plane
Specific sagittal plane that lies exactly in the midline
