Intro Flashcards
divisions of anatomy
- macroscopic–regional (regions), systemic (systems)
- microscopic
- developmental
planes
midsagital divides body into L/R-flextion/extension
parasagital divides body into unequal L/R parts
frontal divides body into front/back parts (asymmetrical)-abduction/adduction
transverse divides body into upper and lower parts-rotation
body cavities
dorsal: cranial cavity and vertebrae cavity
ventral: thoracic (superior mediastinum-middle chest, L/R pleural cavities, and pericardial cavity-heart), abdominal, pelvic cavities
what separates the thoracic and abominal cavities?
what separates the abdominal and pelvic?
- diaphram
- no structure, sometimes called abdominopelvic
functions of the skeletal system
- supports body shape
- cooperates w/mm to produce movements
- protects organs
- Ca and other mineral supply
types of bone
-long bone
-short bones-carpal region and tarsal
-flat bones, eg sternum, skull
irregular bones-vertebrae
-sesamoid bones-bones contained w/in the tendons of muscle (patella)
axial skeleton
appendicular skeleton
axial=skull, cranium, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
appendicular=upper and lower limbs, including clavicle/scapula shoulder girdle and L/R pelvic bones (attachment points of limbs to axial skeleton)
what movements occur only in the forearm?
what movements occur only in the ankle?
what movements occur only in the foot?
- supination and pronation
- dorsi flexion (flex) and plantar flexion (point)
- eversion and inversion
regions of the abdomen
- spleen in L hypocondriac
- appendix and bladdar in hypogastric
- gallbladder in umbilical
