Overview About Anaphy Flashcards
Study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts.
Anatomy
Study of how the body and its parts work or function.
Physiology
The levels of structural organization.
Atoms, Molecules, Cells, Tissue, Organ , Organ system, and Organism.
Tiny building blocks of matter.
Atoms
Form microscopic cells.
Molecules
Basic structural and functional units of all living organism.
Cells
4 Basic Tissue Types:
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous.
It is the lining and covering(ex. Skin)
Epithelial
Connects parts of the body.(ex. Bones, Ligaments, Blood Vessel)
Connective
It can deformed and allow us to move.
Muscle
Ability to transport electric signal.
Nervous
A structure composed of two or more tissue types that performs specific function for the body.
Organ
Group of organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose.
Organ System
What are the Human Body Systems?
- Integumentary System
- Skeletal System
- Muscular System
- Nervous System
- Endocrine System
- Cardiovascular System
- Respiratory System
- Lymphatic Systems
- Digestive Systems
- Urinary Systems
- Reproductive Systems
The highest level of the organization.
Organism
It is kind of position were all the body parts are best viewed.
Anatomical Position
Top in language of anatomy.
Superior ( cranial or cephalic)
Bottom in language of anatomy.
Inferior (caudal)
Front in language of anatomy.
Anterior (ventral)
“Back”
Posterior (dorsal)
“Start”
Proximal
“End”
Distal
Near the center of the body.
Medial
Far to the center of the body.
Lateral
In between two or more body parts
Intermediate
“External”
Superficial
“Internal”
Deep
2 Types of Body Regions:
Axial Body and Appendicular Body
Runs right down the center(axis) and consist of everything except the limbs.
Axial Body
Consist of appandages otherwiseknown as upper…
Appendicular Body
What are the Central Regions of the Body?
Head, Neck, and Trunk( Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis)
The Upper Limbs Regions
Arm, Forearm, Wrist, Hand
The Lower Limb Regions
Thigh, Legs, Ankle, and Foot
What are the Body Planes & Sections?
- Saggital Plane
- Median Plane
- Transverse Plane
- Frontal Plane
Cut along the lengthwise or longitudinal plane of the body, dividing the body into right and left parts.
Sagittal Plane
What does Sagittal Means?
Flight of an Arrow
Cut your body equal in size.
Median Plane
Cut the body superior and inferior parts; also called a cross section.
Transverse Plane
Cut along lengthwise plane that divides the body (or an organ) into anterior and posterior parts.
Frontal Plane
2 Types of Body Cavities:
- Dorsal ( cranial, spinal)
- Ventral ( thoracic, abdomenal, pelvic)
4 Quadrants of Abdominopelvic Cavity:
- Right Upper Quadrant (Liver)
- Right Lower Quadrant (Appendix)
3.Left Upper Quadrant (Stomach) - Left Lower Quadrant (small intestines)
What are the other Body Cavities?
- Oral Cavity and Digestive Cavity
- Nasal Cavity
- Orbital Cavity (space inside the skull)
- Middle Ear Cavities
The body’s ability maintain relatively stable internal conditions even though the outside world is continuously changing.
