Fourth Quarter Final Exam Flashcards
What is Anatomy?
the study of the structure of the human body
What is Gross Anatomy?
deals with the structure of organs and tissues seen with the naked eye
Superior (cranial/rostral)
toward the head end or upper part of a structure or body; above
Medial
toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of
Mitochondria
- generate most of the cell’s energy (ATP); most complex organelle
- Often referred to as the “powerhouse” of the cell
- Energy is stored in chemical bonds of nutrient molecules to produce ATP (energy for the cell)
(ATP stands for adenosinetriphosphate)
Lysosomes
- membrane-walled sacs containing digestive enzymes
- Digest unwanted substances
Nucleus
- control center of cell
- DNA directs the cell’s activities
- Nucleus is approximate 5µm in diameter
- Genetic information of the cell
- Nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear membrane also called a nuclear envelope
Diaphysis
- shaft/middle section of a bone
(Part of a long bone)
Epiphysis
ends of a bone
(Part of a long bone)
How many bones are there in the entire body?
206 Bones
How many bones are there in the axial skeleton?
80 Bones
- the axial skeleton is the bones that compose the central core of the body
- Includes: skull (cranial and facial bones), neck, back (vertebrae), and ribcage
Lumbar Vertebrae
- 5 bones
- vertebrae of the lower back
True Ribs
- superior seven pairs of ribs
- Attach to sternum by costal cartilage
False Ribs
- inferior five pairs of ribs
- attach indirectly to the sternum (8-10) or do not attach at all to the sternum (11-12)
Floating Ribs
- Ribs 11-12
- called “floating ribs” because they are not connected to the sternum; sag at the back of the body
Mandible
- The lower jawbone
- is the largest and strongest facial bone
- Has three parts: Horizontal body, two upright rami (ramuses), mandibular angle
Other Parts of the Mandible
- Alveolar process/margin: tooth sockets
- Mental protuberance: tip of the chin
Maxilla
- Articulate with all other facial bones except the mandible
- Contain maxillary sinuses: largest paranasal sinuses
Part of the Maxilla
- Alveolar Processes: inferior margin of the maxillary bones; the tooth sockets, called alveoli, open into this margin
- Palatine Processes: projects medially from the alveolar process to form the anterior region of the hard palate
Zygomatic Bones
form lateral wall of orbits
Nasal Bones
2 bones that form the bridge of the nose
Lacrimal Bones
located in the medial orbital walls
Palatine Bones
complete the posterior part of the hard palate
Vomer
forms the inferior part of the nasal septum
