Towards the midline
29
define lateral direction
away from the midline
30
define proximal direction
Towards/ closer to a point of attachment
31
Define distal direction
Away from or far from the point of attachment
32
What does the axial region include
Head, neck and trunk
33
what are the two main regions of the human body
axial and appendicular
34
Define the appendicular region and what it consists of
consists of appendages, otherwise known as upper and lower extremities
35
Name the 5 body cavities
Cranial cavity. Spinal cavity. Thoracic cavity. Abdominal cavity Pelvic cavity.
36
Name as many body systems as possible
Integumentary Muscular Skeletal Nervous Circulatory Lymphatic Respiratory Endocrine Urinary/Excretory Reproductive and Digestive System
37
What is the intergumentary systems purpose
``` covers the body regulates body temp creates structures for sensation site of cutaneuous receptors and some glands synthesizes vitamin D prevents water loss ```
38
What is the muscular systems purpose
Aids/ enables body movement | generates heat when muscles contract
39
What is the skeletal systems purpose
Provides support and protection site of hemopoiesis (blood cell production) stores calcium and phosphorus provides site for muscle attachment
40
What is the nervous systems purpose
regulatory system controls muscles and some glands reacts to stimuli responsible for consciousness, intelligence, memory
41
What is the endocrine systems purpose
secretes hormones to regulate development, growth and metabolism maintains homeostasis of blood composition and volume controls digestive process controls reproduction
42
What is the lymphatic systems purpose
transports and filters lymph (interstitial fluid transpoted through lymph vessels) participates in immune response when necessary
43
What is the cardivascular systems purpose
moves blood through blood vessels to distribute hormones, nutrients, and gases as well as pick up waste products
44
What is the resperatory systems purpose
responsible for an exchange of gases in the body (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between blood, the lungs and the air
45
What is the urinary systems purpose
filters blood to remove waste concentrates waste products in the form of urine expels urine from the body
46
What is the digestive systems purpose
mechanically and chemically digests food materials absorbs nutrients expels solid waste products
47
What is the female reproductive systems purpose
produces female sex cells (oocytes) produces hormones (estrogen, progesterone) recieves sperm from the male site of fertalization of oocyte site of growth of the embryo and fetus produces and secretes breast milk for nourishment of newborn
48
What is the male reproductive systems purpose
produces male sex cells (sperm) prodeces male hormones (testosterone) transfers sperm to female
49
what is the posterior aspect?
contains cavities that are completely encased in bone and are physically and developmentally different from the ventral cavity.
50
what are the two parts of the posterior canal?
cranial cavity and vertebral canal
51
Define dorsal direction
at the backside of the human body
52
define ventral direction
at the belly side of the human body
53
define cranial (cephalic) direction
at the head end
54
define caudal direction
at rear or tale end
55
define rostral direction
towards the nose or mouth
56
define deep direction
on the inside or internal to another structure
57
define superficial direction
on the outside
58
What cavities make up the ventral cavity?
Thoracic cavity abdominal cavity pelvic cavity (abdominopelvic cavity)
59
what separates the thoracic anfd abdominopelvic cavities
the diaphram
60
what is a membrane
a continuous layer of cells that surrounds a single cell (comparable to a plasma membrane)
61
What are the two layers of serous membranes andtheir purpose
parietal layer- lines internal body surface | visceral layer-covers external of the organs within a cavity
62
what is the space between the visceral and parietal layer called and its purpose
serous cavity- gets filed with serous fluid which provides lubrication for organ movement and to reduce friction
63
What serous membrane encases the heart?
the pericardium
64
What serous membrane surrounds the lungs
the pleura
65
what is the median space in the thoracic cavity called
mediastinum
66
what is the membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity
the peritoneum
67
name the 3 top abdominopelvic regions
Right hypochondriac region / hypochondrium (RHC) Epigastric region (also known as epigastrium) Left hypochondriac region / hypochondrium (LHC)
68
name the 3 center abdominopelvic regions
Right lumbar region Umbilical region Left lumbar region
69
name the 3 bottom abdominopelvic regions
Right iliac region / Right iliac fossa (RIF) Hypogastric region Left iliac region / Left iliac fossa (LIF)
70
name one organ in the right hypochondric region
 right hypochondriac liver, gallbladder, right kidney, and small intestine.
71
Name one organ found in the epigatric region
epigastric region. | stomach, liver, and the pancreas. The adrenal glands and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum
72
name one organ found in the left hypochodriac region
eft hypochondriac region, which contains organs such as the spleen, colon, left kidney, and pancreas.
