true or false: pronation is the movement of cupping your hand.
false, that’s supination.

what are the three (main) planes of the body?
sagittal, frontal, transverse (and oblique)
the endomysium surrounds:
a singular muscle fiber
the perimysium surrounds:
a single muscle fascicle (fascicle = bundle of muscle fibers)
the epimysium surrounds:
the entire muscle (all the fascicles)
what is a motor unit?
an alpha motor neuron and all the fibers it innervates
in concentric contraction, the muscle lengthens or shortens as it contracts?
shortens
in eccentric contraction, the muscle lengthens or shortens as it contracts?
lengthens
in isometric contraction, the muscle lengthens or shortens as it contracts?
neither, it does not change length
the central nervous system is made up the:
brain and spinal cord
CNS functions:
integrates info received by PNS & sends out motor responses
PNS functions:
provides feedback to CNS & innervates muscle/organs
myelin is produced by ____________ in the CNS and _____________ in the PNS
oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells
gray matter contains ________ and white matter contains _________
nerve cell bodies, nerve cell axons
what are the layers surrounding parts of the nerve? (there are 3)
epineurium (whole nerve), perineurium (nerve fascicle), endoneurium (single nerve fiber)
where are there two different layers of dura mater in the body? what are they?
- surrounding the brain
- periosteal and meningeal (superficial to deep)
thinnest to thickest, what are the meningeal layers?
pia mater, arachnoid mater, dura mater
in what meningeal space can you find CSF?
subarachnoid space
the dorsal column transmits __________ in what direction?
- light touch/pressure
- ascending/towards the brain
the spinothalamic tract transmits __________ in what direction?
- temperature and pain
- ascending/towards the brain
the corticospinal tract transmits __________ in what direction?
- voluntary motor movement
- descending/towards the muscles
how do sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve signals travel up and down?
sympathetic trunks
steps of the reflex arc?
- receptor
- afferent (sensory) neuron
- integration center
- efferent (motor) neuron
- effector organ (muscle)
how does blood get from arteries to veins?
artery to arteriole to capillary bed to venule to vein
what artery pumps blood from the heart to the lungs? which vein pumps blood from the lungs to the heart?
- pulmonary
- pulmonary
an artery has a bigger ________ ________ than a vein
tunica media
what are the layers of a blood vessel?
- tunica adventitia
- tunica media
- tunica intima
what structure in veins prevent backflow of blood?
one-way valves
do veins withstand higher or lower pressure than arteries?
lower
what are the main functions of the lymphatic system?
- LYMPH SYSTEM = FILTER
- tissue drainage
- transport of lipids
- body defense (immune system transport and response)
what part(s) of the body does the right lymphatic duct drain?
the upper right quadrant of the body
what part(s) of the body does the thoracic duct drain?
everything except the upper right quadrant of the body
what are the four types of tissue?
epithelial, nervous, connective, muscle
how thick are: simple epithelial cells? stratified epithelial cells?
- 1 cell thick
- 2+ cells thick
what shapes do epithelial cells take?
- squamous
- cuboidal
- columnar
(and pseudostratified)
which cells more likely to allow for nutrient exchange and reabsorption, simple or stratified?
simple, function follows form (they’re one cell thick, much easier to exchange things this way)
two layers of the dermis?
papillary and reticular
what type of tissue is the papillary layer of the dermis made of? what about the reticular layer?
- loose connective tissue
- dense irregular connective tissue
what layer of the skin contains melanocytes?
stratum basale
in dense regular connective tissue, the fibers all go in what direction?
parallel to each other
dense irregular connective tissue is strong in what direction? what about dense regular?
- all directions
- only in the direction parallel to its fibers
what are the three types of loose tissue?
areolar, adipose, reticular
is areolar tissue strong, flexible, or both? why?
both, it has a mixture of collagen and elastic fibers (it also has fibroblasts and ground substance, but the elastin and collagen are what make it both strong and flexible)
