Quiz 1 (Body organization, epithelial/connective tissues, skin, facial bones) Flashcards
bilateral
relating to two sides of the body
ipsilateral
relating to the same side
contralateral
relating to the opposite side
axilla
armpit
supraorbital margin
superciliary ridge
auricle
exterior of ear
cubital fossa (antecubitis)
depression immediatly distal to bicep
inguinal ligament
forms the superior boundry of the femoral triangle
gluteus medius
small muscle superior and lateral to the gluteus maximus
popliteal fossa
posterior depression of knee
grastrocnemius
cav
abdominopelvid regions (9 region method)
right hypochondriac epigastric left hypochondriac right lumbar (right lateral abdominal) umbilical left lumbar (left lateral abdominal) right inguinal (right iliac) hypogastric left inguinal (left iliac)
abdominopelvic quadrants (4 region method)
right upper quadrant
left upper quadrant
right lower quadrant
left lower quadrant
location of the appendix (both region methods)
right inguinal (right iliac) right lower quadrant
Body cavities
posterior
anterior
posterior cavities
cranial cavity vertebral canal (spinal cavity)
anterior cavities
thoracic cavity
abdominopelvic cavity
radiography/x-rays
high-energy radiation that can penetrate living tissues. Creates and image with radio dense tissues appearing white and less dence grey/black
CT/CAT scan
computerized axial tomography
imaging technique that reconstructs the 3D structure of the body
MRI
magnetic resonance imaging
employs a magnetic field and radio waves to portray subtle structural differences
inspection
general and local inspection of the body.
largest amount of information can be gained
palpation
used of hands/fingers to feel the body.
sense temperature, underlying structures, sensitive spots
normal understanding of anatomy is essential
percussion
tapping on the body to determine the density of underlying tissues
auscultation
listening to body sounds, usually with a stethoscope
keratin
type of protein in epithelial cells causes cells to become tough and water resistant
presence eventually leads to cell death
nonkeratinized
abrasion protection, will dry out unless kept moist
function of simple squamous epithelia
gas exchange
diffusion
blood vessel permeability
function of stratified squamous epithelia
protect against abrasion and dehydration
areolar connective tissue
found below epithelium in most parts of the body. made up of mostly fibroblasts with elastic and collagenous fibers
Specific locations of areolar connective tissue
papillary layer of the dermis
around organs
blood vessels
function of areolar connective tissue
cushion, strength, elastic, support
adipose connective tissue
has modified fibroblasts which store fat and thus become swollen, pushing the nucleus to the edge of the cell
widely distributed throughout the body (around heart, skin, ect)
function of adipose connective tissue
cushion, insulation, store energy, heat production
dense irregular connective tissue
irregularly arrange collagenous fibers. contains fibroblasts and a few elastic fibers
reticular layer of dermis
functions of dense irregular connective tissue
inconsistant pattern lends strength and support in many directions
elastic fibers stain this way, collagen fibers stain this way
dark
light
Carilage
a supporting connective tissue. made up of chondrocytes surrounded by a semisolid gel-like matrix.
where do the chondrocytes reside
lacunae
T/F: cartilage has a good blood supply
F, it is avascular
Layers of epidermis (deep to superficial)
Stratum basale stratum spinosum stratum granulosum stratum lucidum stratum corneum
