Q

What is the skeletal system?

A

consists of bones and cartilage; it provides our basic shape and support for the body and is what the muscular system acts on to produce movements. It also protects vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and pelvic organs.

Q

What is the muscular system?

A

Consists of skeletal muscles that act (contract) to move or position parts of the body, or smooth and cardiac muscle that propels, expels, or controls the flow of fluids and contained substance.

Q

What is the nervous system?

A

Consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves and ganglia, together with their motor and sensory endings). The nervous system controls and coordinated the functions of the organ systems, enabling the body’s responses to and activities within its environment.

Q

What is the lymphatic system?

A

Q

What is clinical anatomy?

A

(applied anatomy) emphasizes aspects of bodily structure and function important in the practice of medicine, dentistry and the allied health sciences. It incorporates the regional and systemic approaches to studying anatomy and stresses clinical application.

Q

median plane (median sagittal plane)

A

the vertical anteroposterior plane passing longitudinally through the midlines of the head, neck, and trunk where it intersects the surface of the body, dividing it into right and left halves. Midline is often erroneously used as a synonym for the median plane.

Q

Transverse planes

A

horizontal planes passing through the body at right angles to the median and frontal planes, dividing the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts. Radiologists refer to transverse planes as transaxial, which is commonly shortened to axial planes.

occurring on the opposite side of the body relative to another structure

45
Q

A

indicates bending or decreasing the angle between the bones or parts of the body

46
Q

Extension

A

indicates straightening or increasing the angle between the bones or parts of the body.
