Ch1 Flashcards
Microscopic anatomy
examines structures that cannot be viewed by unaided eye
scient menthod
observe, hypothesis, experiment, does data support hypo or need to by midified
dif btwn physiologist and anatomist
physiologists provide how body parts function together whereas anatomists study the relationships and structure of the parts
subdivisions of microscopic anatomy and what they are
cytology- study of single body cells and their structures
histology- study of tissues, wider approach examining how groups of cells function for a common purpose
Gross anatomy (macroscopic anatomy) and its subtypes
investigates structure/relationships of large body parts visible to the unaided
comparative anatomy, developmental anatomy, embryology, regional anatomy, surface anatomy, systemic anatomy
comparative anatomy
subtype of gross anatomy, examines similariries and diffs in anatomy of different species
developmental anatomy
subtype of gross anatomy, investigates changes in structure within and individ. from conception to maturity
embryology
subtype of gross anatomy, concerned w developmental changes prior to birth
regional anatomy
subtype of gross anatomy, examines all the structures of a certain region of the body as a complete unit
surface anatomy
subtype of gross anatomy, examines superficial markings and internal body structures related to the skin covering them (obtaining pulse etc)
systemic anatomy
subtype of gross anatomy, studies each system in the body in a macroscopic way
pathologic anatomy
examines all anatomic changes resulting from disease
radiographic anatomy
studies relationships among internal structures that can be viewed through imaging procedures like MRI or xray
surgical anatomy
investigates landmarks used before and after surgery
major levels of organization in body from least to most complex
chemical level, cellular level, tisue level, organ level, organ system level, organismal level
(coctal acronym)
major parts of skeletal system
skull, sternum, ribs, cartilage, upper limb bones, lower limb bones, verterbrae, sacrum, knee joint
(svulsckrs) acronym
major organs of integumentary system
hair, skin and associated glands
major organs of muscular system
orbicularis oculi muscle, pectoralis major muscle, aponeurosis, tendons, sartoris muscle (opsat acronym) o.
Endocrine system organs
hypothalamus, pineal gland, thyroid gland, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas, kidney, testes
(pthapkt acronym?)
nervous system organs
sense organ(eye), brain, spinal cord, nerves
peripheral is nervs, central is everything else
cardiovascular system organs
heart, blood vessels
respiratory system organs
nasal cavity, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, thoracic diaphragm
nnpltblt
Digestive system
oral cavity, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, liver, stomach, large intestine, small intestine
ospelsls
lymphatic system
cervical lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus, axillary lymph nodes, thoracic duct, spleen, inguinal lymph nodes, popliteal lymph node, lymph vessel
Male reproductive system organs
Ductus deferens, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, epididymis, urethra, penis, testis, scrotum
urinary system
kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
female reproductive system
mammary glands, ovary, uterine tube, uterus. vagina, external genetalia(clit, labia)
anatomic position
stands upright w feet parallel and flat on the floor, head level, eyes forward. arms at either side with palms facing FORWARD and thumbs facing OUT
planes
coronal plane (frontal) divides into anterior and posterior
transverse plane(cross sectional or horizontal) cuts along axis perpindicularly
midsagittal (median) divides into right and left halves equal
sagittal ^ but not equal
oblique -pass thru at an angle
anatomic directions relative to front or back
anterior(in front), posterior(in back), dorsal(towards back), ventral(towards front)
anatomic directions relative to head or tail of body
superior (close to head), inferior(close to feed), caudal (at rear/tail end), cranial (at head end), rostral(towards nose/mouth)
anatomical directions relative to midline or center of body
medial(toward midline), lateral (away from midline), ipsilateral (on same side), contralateral (on opposite side), deep (on inside), superficial (on outrside)
anatomical directions relative to point of attachement appendage
proximal (closest to poin of attachment to trunk), distal (furthest from point of attachement to trunk)
axial region inclueds what main areas
head, neck, trunk
appendicular region includes what main area
appendages
abdominal region
inferior to thorax and superior to pelvic brim of hip bones
antebrachial region
forearm
antecubital
region anterior to the elbow
auricular
ear
axillary region
armpit
brachial region
arm (between shoulder and elbow)
buccal
cheek
calcaneal region
heel of foot
