Intro Bottom Line / Lecture Flashcards
study of structure of human body
anatomy
anatomy that considers body as organized into segments or parts
regional anatomy
anatomy that sees the body as organized into organ systems
systemic
anatomy that emphasizes application of anatomical knowledge to medicine
clinical anatomy
descriptive terms standardized in an international reference
guide
Anatomical terms
are often used in clinical settings but are not recommended because they do
not provide anatomical context and are not standardized.
Eponyms
are based on the body in the anatomical position
Anatomical directional terms
blank anatomical planes divide the body
four
are common and students should expect to encounter them
during dissection
anatomical variations
consists of the epidermis, dermis, and specialized structures (hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands)
integumentary system
three things about skin
protection/heat reg/sensation, synthesize/store vitamin d, features tension lines
contains most of the body’s
fat stores.
subcutaneous tissue
an organized connective tissue layer that completely envelops the
body beneath the subcutaneous tissue underlying the skin
deep fascia
four extensions/modifications of deep fascia
intermuscular septa, investing fascia, subserous fascia, hold tendons in place (retinacula)
closed sacs formed of serous membrane that occur in locations subject to
friction; they enable one structure to move freely over another.
bursae
four tissue types of skeleton
cartilage, bone, periostium, perichondrium
five bone classificaitons
long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid
two processes of bone growth
intramembranous ossification, endochondral ossification
bone growth where bone subsequently replacing most of the cartilage after birth
endochondral ossification
bone growth where mesenchymal bone models are formed during the embryonic and prenatal periods
intramembranous ossification
a union between two or more bones or rigid parts of the skeleton
joint
three types of joints
fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
most common joint
freely moveable synovial
six types of freely moveable synovial
plane, hinge, saddle, condyloid, ball and socket, pivot
