Lab 1: Basic Tissues Flashcards
describe anatomical position
starting position of body used
eyes forward head neutral
standing up
arms at sides palm facing forwards, thumbs point out to side
feet/toes pointing forwards
switch perspective = when describe right and left
describe anatomical planes and axes
3 orthogonal planes with axes running through them -
90 degree angles to each other
describe sagittal plane
Straight down midline
left and right halves along transverse axis
looks symmetrical but not on inside
describe coronal plane
anterior - front and posterior - back halves
not symmetrical
along sagittal axis (parallel to sagittal plane but runs through coronal plane)
like slice tiara
describe transverse plane
divides body into superior and inferior halves at navel (umbilicus) along longitudinal axis
transverse axis - perpendicular to sagittal plane
how many plans do we have in total
can have infinite amount of plans - always parallel to original ones
describe relative position
planes/axes allow us to define relative position of anatomical structures
describe medial vs lateral
medial = midline
lateral = away from midline (sagittal plane)
lungs lateral to heart
describe posterior vs anterior
posterior= dorsal, towards back
anterior = ventral, stomach
trachea posterior to aortic arch
describe superior vs inferior
superior - cranial, head, transverse plane
inferior - caudal, tail/toes
heart superior to stomach
describe superificial vs deep
Superficial - closer to surface
heart lies deep to fibrous pericardium
describe proximal vs distal
proximal - closer to trunk or organ
distal = further to trunk or organ
hand distal, shoulder proximal
right subclavian distal to superior vena cava in relation to heart
which systems are basic organ services
nervous
cardiovascular
lymphatic
describe function of nervous system
receives and processes stimuli/info from internal/external environment - receives sensory afferent input
coordinates and carries out an appropriate action in response to stimuli - motor efferent output - usually involves movement
describe nervous system anatomically
cns = brain and spinal cord
pns = nerves from cns–> all over body
stimulus to response = pns–>cns–>pns
name functional divisions of pns
somatic and vsiceral
describe somatic pns
from outside to body
afferent stimuli = largely external (touch, temp, forces)
Efferent response = largely voluntary (motor control of skeletal muscles)
describe visceral pns
from mostly inside of body
afferent stimuli = primarily internal (HR, hunger, nausea)
Efferent response = involuntary (smooth and cardiac muscle, functions of visceral organs)
name and describe key components of spinal nerves - pns
paired - bilateral
emerge from spinal cord at regular intervals between vertebrae from neck to coccyx
bidirectional with afferent neurons (visceral/somatic) returning to cns and efferent (visceral/somatic) neurons to periphery
associated with BOTh somatic and visceral nervous systems - anatomically different
what is similar between somatic and visceral pns
stimuli relayed to cns via neurons bundled into nerves (including spinal and cranial nerves)
what is different between somatic and visceral pns
number of linked neurons
locations of cell bodies
describe similarities/differences between somatic and visceral pns
afferent = SIMILAR, very long single neuron transmits signals from organs to cns
efferent = DIFFERENt, somatic = SINgle neuron from cns to target, visceral = 2 neurons linked in sequence that synapse in various ganglia (neuron cell bodies, sympathetic chain)
describe visceral efferent system
ANS - involuntary efferent control of visceral organs
Opposing effects - PSNS, SNS
describe ans
Sympathetic = alert, fight/flight, increase hr, dilate pupils, slow digestion - redirects energy
Parasympathetic= relax, rest and digest, feed/breed, decrease hr, constrict pupils, airways and blood vessels
describe- SYMPATHETIC
1 - ORIGIN OF OUTFLOW
2 - LOCATION OF GANGLIA
3 - STRUCTURE OF THE 2 NEURONS IN SEQUENCE
1- spinal nerves from levels T1-L2 = 1st pair thoracic to 2nd pair lumbar - THORACOLUMBAR OUTFLOW
2- in sympathetic chain = paravertebral ganglia in thorax or in prevertebral ganglia in abdomen
3- short PREsynaptic, long POSTsynaptic
describe- PARASYMPATHETIC
1 - ORIGIN OF OUTFLOW
2 - LOCATION OF GANGLIA
3 - STRUCTURE OF THE 2 NEURONS IN SEQUENCE
1- 4 cranial nerves (III, VII, IX, X) and spinal nerves S2-S4 = CRANIOSACRAL OUTFLOW
2- in ganglia located near head or within walls of target organs - often not visble
3- long PREsynaptic and short POSTsynaptic
what do parasympathetic and sympathetic do
fibers often blend in autonomic plexuses and travel together - target organs, MESHWORK
what are nerves
bundles of neurons, wrapped in ct
conducts impulse to cns, super long in periphery
what must nerves have - describe
both afferent and efferent nuerons
several have both somatic and visceral
4 neuron types = somatic TO/FROM and visceral TO/FROM
not distinguishable to macroscopic level - single or branching group of fibers
