Gross Anatomy Exam 1 Flashcards
Anatomical Planes
Medial, Sagittal, Frontal (Coronal), Transverse
Medial Plane
vertical plane passing longitudinally through body, divides body into equal left and right parts
Sagittal Plane
Vertical planes passing through body parallel to median plane, divides into unequal left and right parts
Frontal (Coronal) Plane
Vertical planes passing through body at right angles to median plane, divides body into anterior and posterior parts
Transverse Plane
horizontal plane passing thorough body at right angle to median and frontal, divide body into inferior and superior parts
Integumentary Systems consists of?
Epidermis, Dermis, Superficial fascia (Subcutaneous fascia, hypodermis)
Epidermis
keratine epithelium, tough outer protective layer, avascular
contains a few nerve terminals
Superficial Fascia
b/w dermis and deep fascia, loose CT and stored fat (is most of body’s fat storage)
contains sweat glands and superficial blood & lymphatic vessels and cutaneous nerves.
Types of Fascias
Superficial fascia and Deep
Dermis
collagen and elastic fibers, dense layer providing tone and toughness, arteries from deep surface
contains nerve terminals for pain pressure and temp, hair follicles and sebaceous glands
Functions of Integumentary system
Protection, containment, heat regulation, sensation, synthesis and storage of vitamin D
Deep Fascia
dense organized CT w out fat, surround muscles and neurovascular bundles, always passes bone w periosteum, limits outward expansion of contracting muscle helping to push blood out of veins as muscle compresses
Fascial compartments
located in limbs to contain groups of muscles with similar function and same nerve supply, separated by intermuscular septa, can contain or direct spread of infection/tumors
Retinacula
thickening of deep fascia near joints and it holds tendons in place during flex/ext
Bursae
closed sacs of serous membrane capable of secreting lubricating fluid, it is normally collapsed (potential space) and it can communicate with the synovial joints, when filled with fluid they become realized space.
Types of Bursae
Subcutaneous, Subfascial, Subtendonous, Synovial tendon sheaths
Subcutaneous
occurs b/w skin and bony prominence
Subfascial
lie beneath deep fascia
Subtendonous
facilitate movement of tendons over bone
Synovial tendon sheaths
specialized bursae that wrap tendons and enclose them as they pass through osseofibrous tunnels.
eg. carpal tunnel
Collapsed bursal sacs ad Viscera
double layer of membrane that surround important organs, has the parietal “outer” layer in contact with body wall and visceral “inner” layer in contact with organ
3 types of sacs are: pericardial - heart, pleural - lungs, and peritoneal - abdominal viscera
Skeletal Systems two function parts
Axial: Skull, Hyoid bone and cervical vertebrae, ribs sternum vertebrae and sacrum
Appendicular: pectoral girdle, upper extremity, pelvic girdle, lower extremity
Cartilage
CT that forms skeleton requiring flexibility, avascular, articular cartilage that cover joining bone surfaces to provide smooth low friction gliding movements
Bone
Functions: support, protection, mechanical basis of movement, salts (Ca 2+), supply new blood cells
living hard CT that makes up most of skeleton,
Periosteum
fibrous CT covering that interfaces attachment of tendons and ligaments to bone
Perichondrium
covers cartilage
Types of Bone
Compact and spongy
Compact bone
thin layer surrounding spongy, found where there is more weight bearing
Spongy
central compartment of bone except where replaced by medullary cavity
Medullary Cavity
large, numerous space within bone, contains tubercle, contains yellow fatty to red blood and platelet forming bone marrow
Classifications of bone
Long, Short, Flat, Irregular, Sesamoid
Long bones
tubular
Short bones
cuboidal and are found in ankle and wrist
Falt bones
serve protective functions, bones of skull
Irregular bones
have shapes others than long, short or flat. bones of face
Sesamoid bones
develop in tendons, protect that tendon from wear, change angle of tendons as they pass attachments
Bone Marking, what are the marks on bones
where tendons, ligaments and fascia are attached
where arteries lie adjacent to or enter the bone
where there is a passage of a tendon
Bone parts
Diaphysis, epiphysis, epiphyseal line, epiphyseal plate
Diaphysis
Shaft of the bone
Epiphysis
ends of the bone
Epiphyseal line
where the Dia meets the Epi
Epiphyseal plate
lined formed in fusion of Dia and Epi
What is a joint
union, articulation or junction b/w 2 bones or rigid parts of skeleton
Classification of joints
Fibrous, Cartilaginous and Synovial
Fibrous
united by fibrous tissue, movement at joint depends on how tough that tissue is.
Types: sutures, syndesmosis, dentoalveolar syndesmosis
Sutures
interlocking along a wavy lone or overlap
Syndesmosis
united with a sheet of fibrous tissue (ligament of fibrous membrane), partially moveable.
eg. interosseous membrane that joins radius and ulna
Dentoalveolar syndesmosis
b/w a peg-like process and socket articulation, mobility indicate pathological state, microscopic movements give info on bite or if a particel is stuck b/w teeth.
eg. root of tooth and alveolar process
Cartilaginous joints
united by hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage
Types; primary cartilaginous joints (synchondroses)
secondary cartilagenous joints (symphyses)
Primary cartilaginous joint
permits slight bends at early life, usually temporary union, permit growth in length of bone, eventually calcify and fuse
Secondary cartilaginous joint
strong slightly moveable joints united by fibrocartilage, provide strength shock absorption and flexibility to vertebral column.
eg. IVD or pubis sypmphysis
Synovial Joints
most common joint, provides free movement, reinforced by accessory ligaments, may have articular discs or meniscus, united joint capsules that enclose cavity (outer fibrous layer lined by inner serous synovial membrane), joint cavity, articular cartilage covers articulating surfaces of bones.
Types: Plane, Hinge, Saddle, Condyloid, Ball and Socket, Pivot
Joint cavity
potential space that contains small amount of lubricating synovial fluid, may communicate with bursae, periosteum investing participating bones external to joint blends with fibrous capsule.
