Chapter 1 Intro To Anatomy Flashcards
This analyzes the internal structure of cells
cytology
this examines tissues
histology
this anatomy considers structures not able to be seen with the naked eye
microscopic
this anatomy considers large structures able to be seen by the human eye
gross or macroscopic
this anatomy refers to the study of general form and superficial anatomical markings
surface
the general form of anatomical markings
morphology
This anatomy considers all of the superficial and internal features in a specific area of the body
regional
this anatomy considers the structure of major organ systems such as the skeletal system
systemic
the strongest type of microscope
transmission electron microscope
a decision about the nature of an illness
diagnosis
Eleven organ systems
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphoid, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
The legs are blank, the arms are blank, and the palms are blank in the standard anatomical position
together, at the sides, facing forward
a person lying down and face up in the anatomical position is blank
supine
a person laying down and face down in the anatomical position is blank
prone
area of head
cephalic
area of neck
cervical
area of chest
thoracic
segment of the upper limb closest to the trunk; the arm
brachial
the forearm
antebrachial
the wrist
carpal
the hand
manual
the pelvis
pelvic
the anterior pelvis
pubic
the groin
inguinal
the lower back
lumbar
the buttock
gluteal
the thigh
femoral
the kneecap
patellar
the leg, from knee to ankle
crural
the calf
sural
the ankle
tarsal
the foot
pedal
sole region of foot
plantar
the front; before
anterior
the belly side (equivalent to anterior when referring to the human body)
ventral
the back; behind
posterior
the back (equivalent to posterior when referring to human body)
dorsal
toward the head
cranial
same as cranial
cephalic
above; at a higher level (in human body, toward the head)
superior
toward the tail (coccyx in humans)
caudal
below; at a lower level; toward the feet
inferior
toward the midline (the longitudinal axis of the body)
medial
away from the midline (the longitudinal axis of the body)
lateral
toward an attached base
proximal
away from an attached base
distal
at, near, or close to the body surface
superficial
toward the interior of the body; farther from the surface
deep
profile view is the blank plane
sagittal
front view is the blank plane
frontal
looking down upon view is the blank plane
transverse
a dome shaped muscular sheet that separates the ventral body cavity into a superior thoracic cavity and and inferior abodminopelvic cavity
diaphragm
The main body cavity (coelom) of a human
ventral
the ventral body cavity is separated by the blank
diaphragm
the ventral body cavity is separated into the blank and blank cavities
thoracic, abdominopelvic
the thoracic cavity is divided into these three cavities
right/left pleural, mediastinum
the mediastinum contains the blank cavity
pericardial
the abdominopelvic cavity includes these two cavities
abdominal, pelvic
cavity that provides protection, allows organ movement, and lining prevents friction
ventral
cavity that is surrounded by chest wall and diaphragm
thoracic
cavity that contains the peritoneal cavity
abdominopelvic
cavity that surrounds the right lung
right pleural
cavity that surrounds the left lung
left pleural
cavity that contains the trachea, esophagus, and major vessels
mediastinum
cavity that surrounds the heart
pericardial
cavity that contains many digestive glands and organs
abdominal
cavity that contains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, last portion of digestive tract
pelvic cavity
