Ch. 1 Intro Flashcards
what is anatomy
study of external and internal structures and the physical relationships between parts of the body
what is not anatomy
function
gross anatomy is
LARGE, macroscopic, no microscope needed
surface anatomy is
superficial, bony prominents we can feel
regional anatomy is
superficial and deep anatomy
we will us the anatomy of
SYSTEMIC
systemic anatomy is
digestive, respiratory
cytology
study of cells
histology is the study of
tissue types
clinical anatomy focuses on
different pathological changes, X RAYS, CT scans
developmental anatomy is
the changes of our body
comparative anatomy looks at
structure organization of organs
what is in the RUQ
-R lobe of liver
-gallbladder
- R kidney
- stomach
- small and large intestine
quadrant of x axis, y axis (body)
pass through umbillicus
LUQ contains
- l liver
-stomach - left kidney
- pancreas
- spleen
-large intestine part
RLQ contains
cecum,
appendix,
small intestine parts,
r ovary and spermatic cord
r ureter
LLQ contains
most small intestine
parts of large intestine
left ureter
reproductive organs left side
region in the very middle
umbilical region
what region is above umbilical region
epigastric region
what region is below umbilical
hypogastric
what regions are beside hypogastric?
r and l inguinal
next to epigastric region
left and right hypochondriac region
costal cartilage is in what region
hypochondriac regions
regions next to umbilical
r and l lumbar
region next to hypogastric
l and r inguinal
structures toward the head are
cranial/cephalic/superior
structures toward tail are
caudal/inferior
ventral means
towards the chest
dorsal means
toward the back
moving away from midline that is
lateral
moving toward midline of body is
medial
closer to the point of attachment
proximal
farther from attachment is
distal
the shoulder is __ to the elbow
proximal
the wrist is __ to the elbow
distal
plane cuts body l and r
sagittal
cuts body into anterior/posterior
frontal/coronal planes
on midline body plane is
midsagittal
cuts body into superior and inferior portion
transverse
dorsal cavity inclues
cranial cavity and spinal cavity
cranial cavity contains
brain
spinal cavity contains
vertebrae
what are the main ventral cavities
thoracic
abdominopelvic cavity
what is in thoracic cavity
defined by ribcage and diaphragm
-2 pleural cavities 4/left (lungs) with mediastinum between
-pericardial cavity is in mediastinum (covers heart)
what is in abdominopelvic cavity
contains both abdominal and pelvic cavity
peritoneal cavity contains
most abdominopelvic cavity, has serous membranes
serosae is
more than one serous membranes
parietal serosae is
line cavity itself
visceral serosae
surrounds each organ
membrane that lines pleural cavity
parietal pluera
membrane lines the lungs
visceral pluera
