Body Cavities
List the types
Cranial
Thorasic
Abdominal
Vertebtal
Pelvic
Cranial Cavity
Space that holds the brain.
Vertebral Cavity
Holds the spinal cord.
Thoracic Cavity
Is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm.
Holds the lungs, heart, + esophagus
Abdominal Cavity
Is separated from the thoracic cavity by the diaphragm.
Holds the liver, stomach, spleen, small intestine, large intestine, kidneys, and bladder.
Pelvic Cavity
Positioned posterior to the abdominal carvity. Holds the rectum, urinary bladder, and uterus if applicable.
Superior
Refers to something being closer to the head.
Only used for the head and trunk.
Medial
Refers to something closer to the midline.
Infertior
Refers to something closer to the pelvis.
Only used for the head and trunk.
Anterior
Refers to something that’s to the front.
Posterior
Refers to something that is twards the back.
Proximal
Refers to its closer proximity to the point of attachment.
Used to refer to limbs
Distal
Refers to something being further away from the point of attachment.
Used to refer to limbs
Sagittal Section
A cut that divides something in half to make a left and right side.
Transverse Section
Something that divides so you have a top and bottom.
Frontal Section
Also known as Coronal Section
Something that divides front and back.
Oblique Section
Something that cuts or goes at an angle.
Anatomy of a microscope
(top to bottom)
- Eye pieces with ocular lens (10x)
- Neck
- Objective Lenses (4-100x)
- Stage with clamps
- Condenser
- Stage controls (closer to condenser), course focus (biggest nob), fine focus (nob within the course focus)
- Base (bulb is located in here)
Ocular Lense
Sits under the eye piece with a magnification of 10x. This lense is not changable.
Objective Lenses
Adjustable lenses above the stage.
Scanning (red) x 4
Low power (yellow) x 10
High power (blue) x 40
Occular + Objective
red 4 x 10 = 40x
yellow 10 x 10 = 100x
blue 40 x 10 = 400x
Field of view
Refers to the width of the circle of light you can see when looking into a microscope.
Smaller the lense power, the larger the field of view.
Steps to using a microscope
- Lowest objective lense in place (4x), the stage is completely lowered, light is on a low setting.
- Slide is placed on the stage and held in place by camps.
- Stage controls bring the specimen into view.
- Light and course focus are adjusted first followed by the fine focus to make the subject clearly visible.
- Step 4 is repeated with the additional objective lenses.
- Repeat step one after removing the slide from the stage.
- Turn off, cover & store microscope
Nucleus
In regards to a cell
The center of the cell that holds the genetic code to make proteins.
Free Ribosomes
Ribosomes that float in cytoplasm to produce proteins that are made to stay in the cells.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
rough ER
Site of protein synthesis. Once the protein is made it’s packaged in the golgi complex to be sent out of the cell or into the cell membrane.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
smooth ER
ER with no ribosomes attached. It can make fats (like cholesterol + phospholipids) and glycogen, store calcium, and help detoxify waste.
Golgi Complex
acts like a distribution center
Packages material that’s going to leave the cell.
Mitochondria
The power house of the cell!
Site of ATP generation for the cell.
