Plane dividing the body into left and right parts
Saggital plane
Plane dividing the body into anterior and posterior part
Coronal plane
Plane dividing the body into upper and lower part
Transverse plane
Preaxial border of the upper limb
Is its outer boundary
In anatomical position forearms are
Supinated
Ontogeny is the development of organism
From fertilization to death
Phylogeny is the development of organism
Throughout evolution
Ontogeny is
Developmental history
Phylogeny is
Evolutionary history
Surface anatomy is also called
Topographic anatomy
Supine position
Is person lying on his back with palms facing the ceiling
Prone position
Is a person lying on his or her face abdomen and chest
The position used during delivery of the baby
Lithotomy
Transverse plane is also called
Horizontal plane
Oblique plane
Any plane that divides the body that is not coronal transverse or saggital plane is oblique
Cardinal plane
If any plane traverses the center of the he body
Centre of gravity
The point where the three cardinal planes intersect
What is medial
Anything that is close to the median plane
What is lateral
Anything that is away from the medial plane
What is ipsilateral
When organs or structures are on the same side of the body
What is contralateral
When structures or organs are on the opposite side of the body
In upper limb the medial border is
The bordercalong the little finger
In upper limb the lateral border
Is the border along the thumb
Palmer aspect
Is the front of the palm
Dorsal aspect is
The back of the palm
Cranial is also called
Rostral
Flexor in lower limb is
The back of the leg
Extensor in lower limb is
The front of the leg
The elbow joint is called
The radio ulnar joint
The ankle joint is called
The subtalar joint
Abduction of the shoulder
When the hand is taken away from the body like in raising the hand
Adduction of the shoulder
When the limb is brought close to the body
Flexion of the thumb
When the thumb is put against the palm
Medial rotation of the shoulder
When the shoulder is brought in front of the abdomen and chest area
Lateral rotation of the shoulder
When the shoulder is moved away and note that it is in L shape
Flexion of metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal
Is when making a fist
Extension of matacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints
When opening the fist
Flexion of thigh
When the thigh front is brought close to the abdomen
Flexion of knee
When the back of thigh and back of leg are in contact with each other
Dorsiflexion of the foot
When the foot id bright close to the leg and soles face forward
Origin of the muscle
It is the region which is fixed
Insertion if the muscle
It is the region that moved during contraction or relaxation
Aponeurosis
It is flattened tendon
Raphe
Is a fibrous band made of aponeurosis or tendons
Mandible depression
Is opening the mouth
Mandible elevation
Is closure of the mouth
Venae comitantes
Two veins on each side of artery-joined to each other
Anastomosis
When vessels (two or more) are connected to each other.
Inner layer of nuclear envelope has proteins called
Lamins that control alot of cell division.
What does a tissue consist of
Cells and extra cellular matrix
The human tissues are of 4 types
The epithelial tissue
The connective tissue
The muscle tissue
The nervous tissue
Any organ consists of two components
The parenchyma ( consist of the the cells that perform the specific function )
The stroma ( consists of connective tissue)
Epithelial tissue is a collection of
Strongly apposed cells with little extracellular matrix
Is epithelial tissue vascular
No it is avascular
The epithelial tissue is supported by
Loose connective tissue that contains blood vessels
The layer between epithelial tissue and connective tissue
Is called basement lamina and it contains adherent glycoproteins and collagen type 4
