General info Flashcards
what are the 4 main tissue types
Epithelia, connective tissue, muscle and neural tissue
What is an epithelia tissue?
external surface of body, lining internal surfaces, glands
what is connective tissue
bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, blood, connective tissue (loose and dense)
muscle tissue
cardiac, skeletal and smooth
neural tissue
neurons (glia)
stand up in the anatomical position
palms facing front, feet pointed forward
What is the anatomical position going up the body
superior (super duper, going up)
what is the anatomical position going down
inferior (pointing down)
anatomical position lateral
from inner body to outer
anatomical position medial
from outer body going inwards
anterior anat pos
(ventral) - in front of
posterior anat pos
(dorsal) behind
superficial anatomical direction
to the surface above
Is your back posterior or anterior to your heart
back is posterior (behind) the heart
are your blood vessels deep or superficial to your skin
they are deep because they are below the surface of the skin
what is deep anatomical direction
below the surface
what is proximal anatomical direction?
what is proximal anatomical direction
closer to the point of attachment
name an example of proximal direction to a point of attachment
the knee is proximal to the toes ( the knee is closer to the point of attachment of the leg limb)
Name an example of distal directions to a point of attachemnt
The fingers are distal to the elbow (they are further away from the point of attachment of the arm limb)
What is the anatomical direction when there are parts away from the body
distal
what is a sagittal plane? draw a line down your sagittal plane
divides body from left to right (midline)
what is a frontal plane? draw a imaginary line down your
coronal
what is a plane that crosses your body horizontally, that divides it superior to inferior
transverse
what does the nucleus do
controls protein synthesis, DNA &surrounds the nuclear envelope
what can be found in cytoplasm
organelles, cytosol, inclusions(chemical substances)
what organelles can be found in the cytoplasm
endo. ret, golgi apparatus, lysosmes, mitochondria &peroxiomes
how are the 2 endoplasmic reticulums joined
a network of memranes
