First week Flashcards
Transverse Plane
Divides the body into lower and upper
Frontal Plane
Divides the body into front and back.
Median(Midsagittal place)
divides the body into left and right
Superior
structures closest to the topmost point of the cranium; upper or above
inferior
toward the feet; lower or below
posterior(dorsal)
Back of the body; further to the back (in back of)
anterior (ventral)
Front of the body; further to the front (in front of)
Medial
towards the midline of the body
lateral
away from the midline; toward the side of the body
Proximal
closer to the axial body
distal
further away from the axial body
Axial body
consists of the head, neck, and trunk
Appendicular
consist of the limbs, (사지) excluding the axial body from our body part
Superficial
closer to the surface of the body
deep
further from the surface of the body.
Flexion
Decreasing angle
Extension
increasing angle
ABduction
away from body
ADDuction
towards the body
Body Cavity
Empty spaces in our body that house and protect organs
There are two types of Body cavities
Dorsal (posterior) cavity and Ventral (anterior) cavity
Dorsal (posterior) Cavity
It includes:
- Cranial Cavity that houses the brain
-Spinal (vertebral) cavity that contains the spinal cord.
Anterior (ventral) Cavity
It is divided into two smaller cavities separated by the diaphragm. (Thoracic cavity) (Abdominopelvic cavity)
Thoracic Cavity
It includes the heart, lungs, and the large blood vessels.
Abdominopelvic Cavity
It contains:
-Digestive organs (superior portion)
-Urinary and reproductive organs (inferior portion)
-Large part of the large intestine (inferior portion)
Supine Position
The patient is laying face upwards
Prone Position
The patient is lying face downwards
Trendelenburg Position
The head of the bed is lower than the patient’s feet
Fowler’s Position
The patient is sitting in bed with the head of the bed elevated.
Epithelial Tissue
Acts as a covering/lining for the body.
Connective Tissue
supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body. Connective tissue also stores fat, helps move nutrients and other substances between tissues and organs, and helps repair damaged tissue.
Muscle Tissue
Muscle tissue is composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts.
Nervous Tissue
Nervous tissue is composed of two types of cells, neurons and glial cells.
-Neurons are responsible for the computation and communication that the nervous system provides. -They are electrically active and release chemical signals to communicate between each other and with target cells.
Organ
An organ is the result of two or more types of tissues organized in such a way as to accomplish something that the tissues cannot do their own.
Systems
A system is formed by organs that work together to accomplish something more complex than what a single organ can do on its own.
More notes on System
Each system is connected, often depending on other systems for the proper functioning of your body.
