Gross anatomy I, II Flashcards
“Mid Sagittal”
equal R and L sides
passes vertically through midlines
median plane
vertically through body parallel to median plan
“para sagittal”
unequal R and L
sagittal planes
frontal coronal planes
divide into front and back anterior and posterior parts
transverse plane
pass horizontally through the body
divide body into upper/ lower (superior and inferior parts)

L side of image is pts R side
T
condyle
rounded knuckle like articular area often occuring in pairs
epicondyle

foramen

fossa
shallow depression
notch
indentation usually at the edge of the bone
process
projection or outgrowth of the bone
tubercle
small rounded bony projection
trochanter
body projections found in the proximal femur (greater and lesser trochanter)
tuberosity
roughened elevation
pulmonary circulation
right ventricle
oxygenated blood
right ventricle
receives oxygen poor blood
oxygenated blood
returned to left atrium
systemic circulation
left ventricle : moves blood to the periphery of the body through systemic arteries
oxygen poor blood returns to the
right atrium
arteries
thick smooth muscles layer
high in oxygen
3 types of arteries
large elastic
medium muscular
small arteries and arterioles
most named arteries
medium muscular arteries
