Chapter 1.6 Flashcards
Axial Portion
Includes the head, neck, and trunk
Appendicular Portion
Which includes the upper and lower limbs
Cranial Cavity
houses the brain
Vertebral Canal
Contains the spinal cord and is surrounded by sections of the backbone, the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity
Diaphragm
The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominopelvic cavity by this broad, thin muscle
Mediastinum
Extends forward to the sternum and backward to the vertebral column. Forms boundry between right and left sides of the thoracic cavity.
Abdominopelvic extends from
the diaphragm to the floor of the pelvis.
Viscera within the abdominal cavity includes the
stomach, liver, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys, and small and large intenstines
Pelvic cavity contains
terminal ends of the large intenstine, the urinary blader, and internal reproductive organs.
ORal Cavity
Teeth and Tongue
Nasal Cavity
Connecting with several air-filled sinuses
Orbital Cavities
Containing the eyes and associated skeletal muscles and nerves
Thin Serous Membranes..
line the walls of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities and fold back to cover the organs within these cavities. Secrete a slippery serous fluid that separates the layer lining the wall of the cavity from the layer covering an organ
Pericardial Membranes
The heart is surrounded by this
What covers the hearts surface?
Thin visceral Pericardium (epicardium)
Visceral Pericardium seperated by a small volme of serous fluid from?
Parietal pericardium
Potential space between the partietal and visceral pericardium is
the fibrous pericardium
Membranes in the abdominopelvic cavity?
PEritoneal membranes
Intugmentary System includes
the skin and accessory organs such as hair, nails, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. Help regulate body temperature
SKeleetal System includes
the bones as well as the ligaments and cartilages that bind bones together at joints
Muscular System
muscles are the organs of this sytem
Nervous system consists of the
brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs
Endocrine system includes..
all the glands that secrete chemical messengers called hormones.
Target Cells
A particular hormone affecting only a particular group of cells
Organs of the endocrine system include
the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands as well as the pancreas, ovaries, testes, pineal glands, and thymus
Cardiovascular System includes
the heart, arteries, capillaries, veins and blood.
Lymphatic System composed of
the lympahatic vessels, lymph fluid, lymph nodes, thymus and spleen.
Lymphocytes do what?
Defend the body again infection by removing pathogens from tissue fluid.
Digestive System
Receive food and then break down food molecules into simpler forms that can be absorbed into the internal environment
Digestive System includes
mouth, tongue, teeth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intenstine, and large intestine
Organs of the Respiratory system
move air in and out of the body and exchange gases between the blood and the air.
Respiratory System includes
Nascal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchim and lungs are parts of this system
Urinary system includes
the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra
Male reproductive system includes
scrotum, testes, epididymides, ductus deferentia, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulborethral gland, urethra, and penis. q
FEmale reproductive system includes
ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, clitoris, and vulva. PRoduce and maintain female sex cells (ooxytes)
