Ch.1 Intro to Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Trunk of the body formed by rib cage and abdomen
Barrel
Area at base of the neck between front leg
Brisket
Large metacarpal/metatarsal bone of hoofed animals
Cannon
Joint between cannon bone and proximal phalanx of hoofed animals
Fetlock

Muzzle
Area of proximal phalanx in of hoofed animals
Pastern
Top of head between bases of the ears
Poll
Joint equivalent to human knee
Stifle
Dorsal part of the base of the tail
Tail head
Area dorsal to scapulas
Withers
Plane that divides body into left and right parts, not necessarily equal
Sagittal Plane
Divides body into equal left and right halves?
Median Plane
Divides body into cranial (head-end) and caudal (tail-end)
Transverse Plane
Divides body into dorsal (toward back) and ventral (toward belly)
Dorsal Plane
Form and structure, what things look like and their location
Anatomy
Functions, how things work and what they do
Physiology
Individual region can include
Cells
Tissues
Blood Vessels
Nerves
Muscles
Organs
Bones
Individual system can include
Skeletal System
Nervous System
Cardiovascular System
Toward the head
Cranial
Toward the tip of nose
Rostral
Toward the tail
Caudal
Away from median plane
Lateral
Toward the center of the body/body part
Deep/Internal
Toward the back
Dorsal
Toward the belly
Ventral
Toward median plane
Medial
Toward body
Proximal
Toward surface of body/body part
Superficial/External
Away from body
Distal
Composed only of cells and covers/protects surfaces
Epithelial Tissue
Composed of living cells and nonliving substances and binds cells/structures together
Connective Tissue
Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smotth
Muscle Tissue
Composed of nerve cells and transmits into around body
Nervous Tissue
