What are the serous membranes and what do they do?
- Pleura= covers lungs
- Pericardium= covers heart
- Peritoneum= covers organs in abdominal cavity
What are the abdominopelvic quadrants?

What are the abdominopelvic regions?
Right hypochondriac region, epigastric region, left hypochondriac region
Right lateral (lumbar) region, umbilical region, left lateral (lumbar region)
Right inguinal (iliac) region, pubic (hypogastric) region, left inguinal (iliac) region

What organs are located in each abdominopelvic region?
- Right hypochondriac region= liver and gallbladder
- Epigastric region= stomach
- Left hypochondriac region= diaphragm and spleen
- Right lateral (lumbar) region= ascending colon of large intestine
- Umbilical region= small intestine and transverse colon of large intestines
- Left lateral (lumbar region)= descending colon of large intestines
- Right inguinal (iliac) region=cecum and appendix
- Pubic (hypogastric) region=urinary bladder
- Left inguinal (iliac) region=initial part of the sigmoid colon

Name the organ systems of the body
(If someone makes noise, everyone can look right down under Ricky)
- Integumentary
- Skeletal
- Muscular
- Nervous
- Endocrine
- Cardiovascular
- Lymphatic
- Respiratory
- Digestive
- Urinary
- Reproductive

What are the major components of the integumentary system and it’s function?
- Skin, hair, nails
- Protects underlying tissues and organs, regulates body temperature, produces vitamin d, excretes salts and urea
What are the major components of the skeletal system and it’s function?
- Bones, cartilages, tendons, ligaments, and joints
- supports body, facilitates movement, produces blood cells, bones store minerals
What are the major components of the muscular system and it’s function?
- Muscles attached to skeleton
- Generates heat, movement by contraction (which leads to locomotion-running, walking, etc)
What are the major components of the nervous system and it’s function?
- Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory receptors
- Helps maintain homeostasis via rapid transmission of electrical signals, sensory input, response, and integration
What are the major components of the endocrine system and it’s function?
- Pituary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and pineal glands, ovaries, testes, and pancreas
- helps maintain homeostasis, promotes growth and development, hormones exert their effect(s) onto target organs
What are the major components of the cardiovascular system and it’s function?
- Heart and blood vessels
- propels blood through blood vessels, transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, and hormones
What are the major components of the lymphatic system and it’s function?
- Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus
- cleanses blood of pathogens and other debris, houses lymphocytes that protect body from foreign substances, picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to the blood
What are the major components of the respiratory system and it’s function?
- Nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
- keeps blood continuously supplied with oxygen while removing carbon dioxide and contributes to acid-base balance of blood
What are the major components of the digestive system and it’s function?
- Oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines (and accessory structures including teeth, salivary glands, liver, and pancreas)
- breaks down ingested food to smaller particles, undigested residue removed from body as feces
What are the major components of the urinary system and it’s function?
- Kidneys, ureter, bladder, and urethra
- Eliminates waste from body, maintains water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of blood
What are the major components of the reproductive system and it’s function?
- Male: testes, prostate gland, scrotum, penis, duct system (carries sperm to body exterior)— function: provides gametes (sperm) for continuation of species
- Females: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, mammary glands, and vagina — function: provides gametes (eggs), uterus houses developing fetus until birth, mammary glands provide nutrition for infant

Identify the components of the microscope


Describe the base of microscope and its function
Bottom of microscope, provides sturdy flat surface to support and steady microscope

Describe the substage light of microscope and its function
Located in the base, light from lamp passes directly upward through microscope

Describe the light control of microscope and its function
Located on base or arm, dial allows you to adjust intensity of light passing through specimen

Describe the stage of microscope and its function
Platform that slide rests on while being viewed, stage has a hole in it to allow light to pass through stage and through specimen

Describe the mechanical stage of microscope and its function
Hold slide in position for viewing and has 2 adjustable knobs that control the precise movement of slide

Describe the condenser of microscope and its function
Small nonmagnifying lens located beneath stage that concentrates light on specimen. Condenser may have a knob that raises and lowers condenser to vary light delivery. Generally, the best position is close to the inferior surface of the stage

Describe the iris diaphragm lever of microscope and its function
Iris diaphragm- shutter within condenser that can be controlled by a lever to adjust amount of light passing through the condenser
Lever- can be moved to close the diaphragm and improve contrast.
If your field of view is too dark, you can open the diaphragm to let in more light

Describe the course adjustment knob of microscope and its function
Knob allows you to make large adjustments to the height of the stage to initially focus your specimen

Describe the fine adjustment knob of microscope and its function
Knob used for precise focusing once initial course focusing has been completed

Describe the head of microscope and its function
Attached to nosepiece to support the objective lens system - it also provides for attachment of eyepieces which house ocular lenses

Describe the arm of microscope and its function
Vertical portion of the microscope that connects base and head

Describe the nosepiece of microscope and its function
Rotating mechanism connected to the head - generally, it carries 3 or 4 objective lenses and permits positioning of these lenses over the hole in the stage

Describe the objective lenses of microscope and its function
Lenses attached to nosepiece - usually, a compound microscope has 4 objective lenses - total magnifying powers for objectives are listed in parenthesis

Describe the ocular lens(es) of microscope and its function
Binocular microscopes will have 2 lenses located in eyepieces at superior end of head - most ocular lenses have a magnification power of 10x - some microscopes will have a pointer and/or reticle (micrometer), which can be positioned by rotating the ocular lens

Define total magnification
Power of ocular lens x power of objective lens used
Define resolution
Ability to discriminate 2 close objects as separate
Define parfocal
Slide should be in focus at higher magnifications once you have properly focused at lower magnification
Define field
Area you’re seeing through microscope
Define depth of field
Thickness of plane that is clearly in focus
Define working distance
Bottom of objective lens from surface of slide
