Chapter 3-Anatomy Flashcards
Anatomy
Study of the structure-and relationship between body parts
Physiology
Study of functions of parts and as a the body whole
Cell
Basic unit of life, smallest living organism
3 main parts of a cell
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus
Cell membrane
Outer covering of cell that regulates what enters and leaves it.
Cytoplasm
Clear-jelly like substance between cell membrane and nucleus contains cell fluid and organelles
Nucleus
Functional center governs activity and heredity. Brain of cell, can duplicate cell.
Tissue and types
Group of cells that perform a specialized function.
Epithelial- covers external body and lining
Connective- provides support stores energy connects to other tissue (bone, fat, cartilage, blood)
Muscular- shortens and contracts
Nervous- carries messagesbetween body and brain
Organs
Contains 2 or more tissue that function together for a purpose
System
Group of organs that work together to carry out particular activity.
Skeletal system
5 main functions
206 bones, provide movement.
Give body shape and support Allow movement Protect vital organs Produce blood cells Store calcium
Tendon
Cord of Connective tissue. Fibrous tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
Ligament
Band of connective tissue that connects bone to bone
Cartilage
Flexible conn: tissue (, ears and nose, ribs to sternum, lusnon between bones)
Ossification
Process where cartilage is replaced by bone
Joint and types
Place where 2 bones meet
Gliding- vertebrae
Ball and socket- bone with rounded head that fits into cups-allows. swing motion..
Pivot- allows turning motion
Hinge- allows front and back bending (elbows, knees)
Synovial membrane
Lining of joint. Secretes synovial allied
Cortical
Compact pone, hard outer layer surrounded by periosteum ( forming bone and blood vessels)
Cancellous
Spongy bone, inner layer of bone
Skeletal system procedures
Craniotomy, anterior cervical jusich, PLIF, ORIF, TKA, THA, external fixation, hippinning trigger finger release, tibial ostectomy
Fascia
Band or sheet of fiborous conn. Tissue
Types of muscle tissue (3)
Skeletal- attached to bone by tendon
Smooth- flat sheet, involuntary and voluntary (breathing, movement of food and blood )
Cardiac- woven fibers throughout heart.invomuntaly
Muscular procedures
Faciotomy → incision into fiborars memo. To relieve pressure from injury /swollen muscle
Herniorinaphy- repairing cavity wall muscle layer
Rotator cuff - repair muscle and ligament of joint
ACL, muscle biopsy, tendon repair
Central nervous system
Brain and spinal cord
Protected by meninges
Control center
Brain
Main control unit of c.n.s 100 billion nerve cells.
Divided into: cerebellum, cerebrum, brain steam
Cerebrum functions
Manage nerve impulses, control voluntary muscle contractions, interpret sensory info, influence personality, emotions and attitudes
Largest part of Brain
Cerebellum
2nd largest controls muscle coordination, balance and posture
Brain stem
Controls many automatic body functions ( heart beat and breathing )
Peripheral nervous system
All nervous tissue outside the central nervous system
Eyes
Sclera - white portion protects
Cornea- part of sclera In front of eye that is clear
Choroid- middle layer
Furnishes nourishment to eye via vessel.. Has iris (colored part), pupil (openingcontrols light entrance)
Aqueous humor - watery fluid that fills anterior part of eye (between cornea and lens)
retina- third layer, back of eye, lens focuses light on to retina.
Vitreous humor- fluid filled gives eye shape
Ears
External: serves as a funnel to send sound to ear canal to tympanic membrane..
Middle: tight membrane to separate inner and middle ear. Vibrations enter middle ear (malleus, incus, stapes)
Inner:. Vibrations are passed through bones into fluid sac then into cochlea, semi-circular canals (body balance is regulated)
Nose
Has olfactory bulb at end of olfactory nerves
Tongue
Has test buds chemical sense.
4 tastes:
Salty, bitter, sour, sweet
Skin
Largest body organ
Nervous system procedures
Craniotomy, carpal tunnel repair, ulna nerve transposition, cataract extraction with implant, corneal transplant , BMT, stapedectomy tympanoplasty STSG
