Basics Flashcards
How does sagittal plane split the body?
Splits it on midline (left and right)
Ipsilateral vs contralateral
Ipsi = same side Contra = opposite side
Intermediate means
In between
Parietal vs. visceral
Parietal = membrane or layer outside of / superficial to an organ
Visceral = membrane or layer directly adhered to an organ
Para sagittal plane?
Still splits body left and right but not 50/50

Ligaments either attach bone to bone or ?
Pass between 2 organs or organ and abdominal wall to hold organs in place
Aponeurosis structure and function
Broad, flat sheet like tendon
Connects muscle to each other or to bones
What are bursas and where are they located ?
Fibrous sacs filled with synovial membrane; located in areas prone to friction
Arteries carry blood ____
3 layers of artery wall?
Away from heart to the tissues
Tunica interna (intima), tunica media, tunica externa (adventitia)
Function of arterioles
Deliver blood to capillaries
Capillaries consist only of ?
Tunica interna
Veins consist of same 3 tunics as arteries; what is the difference?
Veins have a thinner tunica interna and thinner tunica media
~there are also valves in veins
Blood vessels that supply blood to nourish the tunics?
Vasa vasorum
3 functions of the lymphatic system?
- Drain excess interstitial fluid from tissue spaces
- Transports dietary lipids from the GI tract to the blood
- Protects against invasion through the immune response
