LAB Exam 1 Flashcards
Content from Week 1
How does the anatomical position look?
Body is erect (standing tall), feet are slightly apart, palms are facing forward with thumb pointing away from body.
What are the two regions of the body?
Axial and Appendicular
What parts of the body are in the axial region?
Head, Neck, and Trunk
Skull, Sternum, and Vertebra
What parts of the body are apart of the appendicular region?
Limbs (legs and arms)
Radius
What are the types of muscle tissues?
- Skeletal muscle tissue (looks like tilapia)
- Cardiac muscle tissue (looks like blocks with dots)
- Smooth muscle tissue (looks like lines “ropes” with dots)
What are the 4 types of tissues?
- Epithelium tissue
- Connective tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Nervous tissue
What are the types of connective tissues?
- Dense regular connective tissue (looks like candy strips that you can pull apart)
- Dense irregular connective tissue (looks like the inside of purple cabbage)
What is the function of dense regular connective tissue?
Attaches bone to bone (most ligaments) as well as muscles to bone (tendon); resists stress applied in one direction.
Where is the location of the dense regular connective tissue?
Tendons (attach muscle to bone); liagments (typically attach bone to bone)
What is the function of dense irregular connective tissue?
Withstands stresses applied in all direction; durable
What is the location of the dense irregular connective tissue?
Most of dermis of skin; periostenum covering bone; perichondrium covering cartilage, epinerium covering nerves, epimysium covering skeletal muscle, some organ capsules
What are the most important type of connective tissue?
- Bone (looks like cinnamon swirl bread)
- Blood (looks like a ton of spaced out ballons)
What is the function of skeleton muscle tissues?
Primarily responsible for moving skeleton and for thermoregulation (increase body temperature when muscles contract)
What is the function of cardiac muscle tissue?
Pump blood through heart and blood vessels
What is the function of smooth muscle tissue?
Moves an propels materials through internal organs; controls the size of the lumen
What does the ventral (anterior) body cavity cover?
- Thoratic Cavity
* Pleural cavity: Lungs
* Pericardial cavity: Heart - Abdominopelvic Cavity
* Abdominal (contains large intestine)
* Pelvic
Front side (facing where your nose points towards)
