Tissues
Four main types of tissues:
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nervous
31
Organ
-Maintains a certain shape
-perform a general function
Ex: stomach, brain, pancreas
32
System
- The body contains 11 systems
| - Each system performs a general function

Endoscopy
- Views internal anatomy on a monitor
- May also contain surgical attachments that allows the physician to manipulate internal body parts while viewing a monitor
41
CT Scan (Computed (Axial) Tomography Scanning)
- Can scan from multiple angles
- useful to view cross-sectional images of organs
- X-ray
- Quick
42
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
- Offers the clearest, most completes images of internal anatomy
- Contains magnets
- Analyzes information
- Can diagnose many forms of cancer, joint disease, and trauma
- No x-ray
- Long, Load, and Claustrophobic
43
Ultrasound
- Fast and noninvasive
- Pulsation of harmless sound waves through the body region
- Useful in prenatal care
44
Cranial Cavity
- Brain and endocrine glands located in cranial vault
- Cranial nerves and blood vessels
- Orbital, nasal, buccal (mouth) cavities
45
Thoracic Cavity
Bordered by clavicles and diaphragm
- Surrounded by the ribs and sternum
- Divided into 2 portions by mediastinum
- Contains 2 pleural cavities and 1 pericardial cavity
- Cavities are lined with visceral and parietal membranes which produce fluid to reduce friction
46
Mediastinum
Space between the lungs
47
Pleural cavities
Space that lies between the pleura, the two thin membranes that line and surround the lungs
48
Abdominal Cavity
- Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
- Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)
- Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)
- Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)
49
Pelvic Cavity
- Below symphysis pubic
| - Contains urinary bladder, ovaries, vagina & uterus, seminal vesicles, ducts, prostate gland, rectum, and urethra
50
Positron emission tomography
- The radioactive substance is combined with a metabolically important material and then inhales or injected into the patient
- The metabolic activity of an organ is detected by the PET scan based on the particles being released by the organ
