lab 1 Flashcards
define anatomical position
standing forward, palms forward, arms to side, thumbs out, feet slightly apart
superior
structure located above another
inferior
structure located below another
dorsal/posterior
refers to backside
ventral/anterior
refers to frontside
proximal
structure closest to point of attachment
distal
structure farthest to point of attachment
medial
structure closest to mid line of body
lateral
structure farthest from mid line
caudal
tail end (inferior)
cranial
head end (superior)
superficial
structures near surface of body. external structures
deep
internal structures
saggital plane
verticle cut dividing body into left and right halfs
frontal plane
verticle cut dividing body into anterior and posterior halfs
transverse plane
horizontal cut dividing body into superior and inferior halfs
dorsal body cavity
contains cranial cavity (brain) and spinal cavity (spinal cord)
ventral body cavity
contains thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
thoracic cavity
(superior) consists of right pleural cavity (R lung), left pleural cavity (L lung), and pericardial cavity (heart)
abdominopelvic cavity
(inferior) consists of abdominal cavity (contains digestive organs) and pelvic cavity (contains reproductive organs)
what is a serous membrane? what is its function?
double layered membrane that covers organs and
reduces friction; also referred to as serosa
what is the visceral layer
adheres to viscera (organs) in a cavity
what is the parietal layer?
lines the walls of the cavity
what is serous fluid?
fluid between the two layers that decreases friction and allows for movement of visera
what is in the RUQ?
liver, gallbladder, transverse colon, small intestine, R kidney
what is in RLQ?
ascending colon, small intestine, appendix, large intestine
d terwhat is in LUQ?
liver, spleen, stomach, L kidney, transverse colon
what is in LLQ?
descending colon, small intestine, sigmoid colon
what is an atom?
smallest unit of matter that participate in chem reactions
what is a cell?
basic structural and functional unit of an organism
what is a molecule?
made by the binding of two atoms
what is ocular lens magnification?
10x
what is objective lens magnification?
4x, 10x, 40x
what is the total magnification of each?
4x - 40, 10x - 100, 40x - 400
what is resolution?
ability to see fine detail
what is working distance?
the distance between the objective lens and top of sample for it to appear in focus
what is parfocal?
when objective lens can be changed with little to no refocusing
how would the letter “e” appear in the microscope?
upside down and backwards
what is the relationship between total magnification and depth of focus?
as magnification increases, depth of focus decreases. as you zoom in you see less of the object
what is peritoneum? what is its function?
serous membrane of abdominal cavity. has double layer folds called mesenteries which keep visera in place by extending from wall-organ
