Introduction to human anatomy Flashcards
Gross anatomy
Deals with organs and tissues that can be seen with the naked eye Ex. Organ, organ system, and organism
Microscopic anatomy
Studies things needing a microscope to view (cells, molecules, tissues , histology)
Organism hierarchy
Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Cell
Basic unit of life
Regional approach
Study head, torso by region
Surface apporach
Sub of regional approach What we can see or palpate without being invasive
Systemic approach
Such as looking at the digestive system
Caput
Head
Collum
Neck [collar]
Truncus
Trunk - includes: abdomen, Dorsum, and perineum/ pelvis
Thorax
Chest
Dorsum
Back
Dorsal cavities
Cranial and vertebral
Ventral cavities
Inside the truck cavities
pleural
Pericardial
Peritoneal
Thoracic cavities
Made of Pleural (2) - one for each lung
Mediastinum - in between the 2 pleural cavities
- portion of the mediastinum = pericardial cavity for the heart
Functional anatomy
the study of anatomy in its relation to function Ie. Blends together parts of the body and how they function together
Clinical Anatomy
practical application of anatomical knowledge to diagnosis and treatment
Anatomy
To cut up/ apart
Diaphram
Separates thorax and abdomen
Perineum
The part between the thighs just below the abdomen
Cavities of the body Image
Serosa
Made of epithelium
lines outside of the cavity and the internal organs in there
covers the ventral cavity [pleural, abdoinopelvic, and abdominal]
wet surface so things dont stick on each other
Abdominal and pelvic cavities
Contineous cavity
4 types of Serosa
Mesothelium
partietal
visceral
serous cavity
Serosa image
Balloon = serosa
box = body wall
hand = organ
Mesothelium
It’s lines the 2 pleural, 1 pericardial, peritoneal [in the abdominal pelvic cavity]
the same epithilium lines al 4
After this, there is a little bit of connective tissue
Where the membrane covers the inside wall of the cavity and it continues as 1 complete sheet of stuff and run onto the surface of the organs contained in the cavity
Epithelia
Covers all surfaces of the body
Parietal layer of serosa
Th part of the balloon that is pushed up against the wall of the box
Visceral layer of serosa
The part that the hand is touching visceral layer
Serous cavity
Space between the paritetal and visceral layers
has a couple mm of fluid
keeps things wet and can move hand inside and it doesn’t stick to wall of cavity
in reality like a paper bag [ie. No potential space] - if space then abnormal/ problem
Pleura serosa
Covers the lungs
2 separate
right pleura and a left pleura
Pericardium
Serosa that covers the heart
parts can sometimes be called.
Peritoneium
In the abdominal pelvic region this is what the serosa is called
Epicardium
Visceral pericardium
