Lecture 1: Terminology Flashcards
Explain gross anatomy vs surface anatomy
Gross Anatomy=what can be seen with the naked eye
Surface Anatomy: enables the individual to recognize deep anatomical structures from a superficial setting
Appendicular vs axial skeleton
Appendicular: Upper Lower extremities, pelvis (what sticks out)
Axial: head thorax, vetebral column (center)
What are the levels of organization and explain
Chemical (atoms) ->Cellular (macros) -> Tissues (group of similar cells working together) -> organs (heart, lungs) -> systems (respitory) ->organism
What are the 2 main body cavities and their subdivisions
DORSAL CAVITY: 1) cranial 2) vertebral
VENTRAL CAVITY: 1) thoranic 2) abdomnical 3) pelvic
What is anatomical position
Upright, facing forward, shoulderwidth apart, palms facing up
What are the 4 planes of the body
Median Plane (mid sagital): Divides into left and right (para sag means either left or right of the mid dag) Front Plane (coronal): divides into anterior (frpnt) and posteior (back) Transverse (horizontal) : Divides into superior (upper) and inferior parts (lower) Onblique; angle
Anterior vs Posterior
Anterior: front
Posterior: back
superior vs inferior
superior: above
inferior: below
proximal vs distal
SPECIFIC TO EXTREMETIES
prox: nearest to source of attachment (nearest to center)
distal: further from source of attachement (far from center)
cranial vs caudal
Cranial/cephalic: nearest to head end
Caudal: nearest to taul end
medial vs lateral
Medial: towards mid sag plane
lateral: away mid sag plane
superficial vs deep
Superficial: towards sufrace
deep: away from surface
intermediate, external internal
intermdiate: between 2 things
in relevance to body wall
flexion vs extrension vs hyper extension vs lateral flexion
flexion: angle of joint decreases
extension: angle of joint increaeses and there is a return to the anatomical position
hyper: when the extension beyond the anatomical position
lateral: lateral bending/side bending
Abduction vs adduction
abduction: Movement away from the midline of the
body
adduction: Movement towards from the midline of the
body
