Chapter 1 - Introduction Flashcards
What is Regional Anatomy?
Based on the organization of the body into parts (regions)!
Name all 11 Organ Systems:
- Muscular
- Skeletal
- Nervous
- Endocrine
- Urinary
- Reproductive
- Respiratory
- Digestive
- Integumentary
- Circulatory/Cardiovascular
- Immune/Lymphatics
What is Systemic Anatomy?
How many systems are there?
Based on the organization of the body into Organ Systems.
11!
On what axis does the frontal/Coronal Plane fall on?
Z Axis
On what axis does the Median/Midsaggittal Plane and Parasaggital Plane fall on?
X Axis
On what axis does the Transverse Plane fall on?
Y Axis
What are the 4 basic tissues?
1) Epithelial
2) Connective
3) Muscle
5) Nervous
What are the 7 levels of organization?
1) Atomic (elements)
2) Chemical (molecular compounds)
3) Cellular (organelles)
4) Tissue
5) Organs
6) Organ System (system level)
7) Organism
What are the planes we use for this course?
1) Frontal/Coronal
2) Midsagittal/Median
3) Parasagittal
4) Transverse
5) Oblique
What is unilateral?
Structures that are found only on one side of the body.
-Spleen
What is Ipsilateral?
Structures on the same side of the body.
- Right thumb and right toe
What is Contralateral?
Found on the opposite side of the body.
- right foot and left foot
What is Cranial Cavity?
- holds the brain
- formed by skull
What consists of the abdominopelvic cavity?
Encircled by abdominal wall, bones and muscles of the pelvis.
Whats the diaphragm?
Large dome shaped muscle
What are organs also called?
Viscera
What consists of the thoracic cavity?
Encircled by the ribs, sternum, vertebral column and muscles.
What is the vertebral or spinal canal?
- Contains the spinal cord
- Formed by the vertebral column
What is the Integumentary system made up of?
Skin and is accessory structures
- hair follicles
- sweat glands
- oil glands
- nails
What’s the function of the Arrector Pilli muscle?
Causes goosebumps due to cold or fear
What are the general functions of the Integumentary system?
1) Protection as physical barrier
2) Containment of tissues and organs
3) Regulates temperature
- sweat glands
4) Sensation
- sensory receptors and their nerves
5) Synthesis and storage of Cholecalciferol (vitamin D-3) from irrigation of 7-dehydrocholesterol
What are Keratinocytes?
Produce Keratin
What are Melanocytes?
- produce melanin pigment
- melanin transferred to other cells with long cell processes
What is the Ventral Body Cavity?
Near Ventral surface of the body.
2 subdivisions:
1) Thoracic Cavity-above diaphragm
2) Abdominopelvic Cavity-below diaphragm
What are the 5 (strata) layers of the Epidermis? (From Superficial to Deep)
1) Stratum Corneum
2) Stratum Lucidum
3) Stratum Granulusum
4) Stratum Spinosum
5) Stratum Basale
What is the Dorsal Body Cavity?
Near Dorsal surface of the body.
2 subdivisions:
1) Cranial Cavity
2) Vertebral or Spinal Canal
What 2 parts does the Skeletal System have?
1) Axial Skeleton
2) Appendicular Skeleton
What is Bilateral?
Paired structures with right and left parts.
- Kidneys
What is Connective Tissue?
- Tissues that bind together
- Cell rarely touch due to extracellular Matrix
- Matrix(fibers and ground substance secreted by cells)
- Consistency varies from liquid, gel to solid
- Does NOT occur on free surface
- Good nerve and blood supply except cartilage and tendons
