Q

How did Aristotle play a part in the historical milestones in the understanding and study of human anatomy?

A

Interest in the natural world led him to examine living things and wrote about the anatomy of various animals
Comparative anatomical approach led him to ideas about the relationships among organisms and was the first person to think about variation among organisms in terms of adaptation and evolution

Q

How does Anatomy differ from Physiology?

A

Anatomy is the study of structure and anatomists examine the relationships among parts of the body along with the structure of individual organs.

Q

What is the difference of general anatomy vs clinical anatomy?

A

General studies include function, organization, and relationships of structures in an organism
Clinical anatomy puts structure, function, organization, and relationships with an organism in the context of the maintenance of a healthy patient and the prevention and treatment of disease.

Q

What is the respiratory system?

A

Includes nose/nasal cavity to the lungs

Responsible for exchange of gases between blood and the air in the lungs

23
Q

What is the digestive system?

A

Mechanically and chemically digests food materials; absorbs nutrients; expels waste products
mouth ->pharynx->esophagus ->liver,stomach, large intestine, small intestine

24
Q

What is the Urinary system?

A

Filters the blood and removes waste products from the blood
Concentrates waste products in the form of urine, and expels uring from the body
Kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra

25
Q

What is the Male reproductive system?

A

Produces male sex cells and male hormones like testosterone. Transfers sperm to the female

26
Q

What is the female reproductive system?

A

Produces female sex cells (oocytes) and female hormones like estrogen and progesterone
Site of fertilization

27
Q

What are the two main regions the body is partitioned into?

A

Axial region - includes the head, neck, and trunk (vertical)

Appendicular region - limbs

28
Q

What is anatomical position?

A

Specific body position in which an individual stands upright with the feet parallel and flat on the floor
Head is level and eyes look forward
Arms are at either side of the body, palms facing forward and thumbs pointing away from body

29
Q

What is a plane?

A

Imaginary surface that “slices” the body into specific sections

30
Q

What are the three major anatomic planes of reference?

A

Coronal, transverse, and sagittal

31
Q

What is the coronal plane?

A

Vertical plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts

32
Q

What is a sagittal plane?

A

When the plane is in the middle it can also be called median plane. It extends through the body or organ vertically and divides the structure into right and left halves

33
Q

What is a transverse plane?

A

Also can be called cross-sectional plane or horizontal plane
Cuts perpendicularly along the long axis of the body or organ separating it into both superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts

34
Q

What is a parasagittal plane?

A

Plane that is parallel to the midsagittal plane but either to the left or the right of it

35
Q

What are the two terms that are relative to the front (belly) side of the body?

A 
Anterior = toward the front surface
Ventral = at the belly side of the human body
36
Q

What are the two terms that are relative to the back of the body?

A 
Posterior = toward the back surface
Dorsal = at the back side of body
37
Q

What are two terms that mean towards the head?

A

Superior and Cranial

38
Q

What are the two terms for towards the feet?

A

Inferior and caudal

39
Q

What is the term for towards the midline of the body?

A

Medial

40
Q

What is the term for away from the midline of the body?

A

Lateral

41
Q

What is the term for on the inside, underneath another structure?

A

Deep

42
Q

What is the term for on the outside?

A

Superficial

43
Q

Relative to point of attachment of the appendage, what is the term for closest to point of attachment to trunk?

A

Proximal

44
Q

What is furthest from point of attachment to trunk?

A

Distal

45
Q

What two enclosed cavities does the posterior aspect of the body have?

A

Cranial cavity - Formed by the cranium and houses the brain

Vertebral Canal - Formed by the individual bones of the vertebral column and contains the spinal cord

46
Q

What lines the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities?

A

Thin serous membranes

47
Q

What are the two layers the thin serous membrane is composed of?

A

Parietal layer - lines the internal surface of the body wall

Visceral layer - covers the external surface of organs (viscera) within the cavity

48
Q

What is between the parietal and visceral layers of the serous membrane?

A

Then serous cavity containing a lubricating film of serous fluid.

49
Q

What is the purpose of serous fluid?

A

Reduces friction and helps the organs move smoothly against both one another and the body wall.

50
Q

What is the median space in the thoracic cavity?

A

Mediastinum

51
Q

What does the mediastinum contain?

A

Heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea, and major blood vessels that connect to the heart.

52
Q

What membrane is the heart enclosed in?

A

Two - layered serous membrane called the pericardium

53
Q

What membrane lines the lungs?

A

Two - layered serous membrane called the pleura
Outer layer - parietal pleura
Inner layer - Visceral pleura
Potential space - narrow, moist - called pleural cavity

54
Q

What is the peritoneum?

A

Moist, two - layered serous membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity

55
Q

What are the 9 smaller imaginary compartments the abdominopelvic cavity is partitioned into?

A

Right hypochondriac region, Epigastric region, Left hypochondriac region
Right lumbar region, umbilical region, left lumbar region
Right iliac region, hypogastric region, left iliac region
