Ch 1 Flashcards
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Soft tissue visualization. / functional moment to moment change (fMRI)
Sonography
reflection of ultrasound waves. -Sonogram -echocardiography
Situs solitus
normal arrangement
Situs inversus
reversed position of organs
Anatomical Position
Person Standing upright with their feet on the floor
Sagittal Plane
Divides the body on the left and right sides. 1/4 of body
Transverse Plane
Divides the body from bottom and top
Frontal/coronal Plane
Divides the body from back to front
Anterior
Towards the front of the body
Ventral
Towards the anterior side
Dorsal
Towards the posterior side
Posterior
Towards the back of the body
Superior
Above
Inferior
Below
Cephalic
Towards the head or superior end
Rostral
Towards the forehead or nose
Caudal
Toward the tail or inferior end
medial
Toward the midline of the body
Lateral
Away from the midline of the body
Distal
Farther from the point of attachment or origin
Proximal
Closer to the point of attachment or origin
Ipsilateral
On the same side of the body (left or right)
Contralateral
On the opposite sides of the body (left or right)
Superficial
CLoser to the body surface
Deep
Farther from the body surface
Axial Region
Head, neck, and trunk
Thoracic Region
The trunk: Above the diaphragm
Abdominal Region
The trunk: Below the diaphragm

Neck
Epithelial Tissue
Covers body surfaces and lines body cavities. Any space in the body. Glands.
Characteristics of epithelial tissue
Closely adhering cells. Avascular. High rate of mitosis. Brick wall
Basement membrane
separating the EP from the underlying connective tissue
Apagal
Basal
Bottom of tissue
Cell Shapes
Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar
Classes of epithelium
Simple, Pseudostratified, Stratified
Specializations
Cilia (hair like. Sweeping it), Microvilli (small little waves. digestive tract, increase surface area), Goblet Cells (produce mucus), Keratinized (dead flaky cells. dead cells produce it), Nonkeratinized
apigal/basal
top of the cell line/bottom of the cell line
connective tissue
diverse, abundant tissue. cells occupy less space than matrix. Function: support connect protect organs
Connective tissue types
Fibrous connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, blood
fibrous connective tissue fibers
collagen, reticular, elastic
Ground substance of fibrou CT
glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, adhesive glycans
cranial cavity

spinal cord
Thoracic cavity: Pleural cavities
Lungs
Thoracic cavity: Pericardial cavity
