TEST 1 Flashcards
Define Anatomy
Study of external and internal structures and the relationship between body parts
Define Physiology
The study of how the body functions and the mechanisms in the body
Cytology
Study of Cells
Histology
Study of Tissues
Morphology
Superficial anatomical markings
Four major elements in the body
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, and Nitrogen
Major components of the body
Water - 66%
Proteins - 20%
Lipids - 10%
Carbohydrates - 3%
Four types of tissue
Epithelial, Muscular, Neural, and Connective

Spleen
Supine
Lying down face up
Anterior
Front of the body
Prone
Lying face down
Abdominopelvic quadrants
4 Sections
Abdominopelvic regions
9 Sections
Medial
Closer to middle
Lateral
Further away from middle
Proximal
Nearer to point of attachment
Distal
Further from point of attachment
Sagittal plane
Left and Right Sections
Frontal Plane
Separates the body into anterior and posterior sections
Transverse plane
Separates the tissue/body into superior and inferior sections (one you got wrong on the quiz)
Posterior Cavity
Contains cranial cavity and spinal cavity
Anterior cavity
Contains Thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity
Thoracic Cavity
Contains pleural cavity and pericardial cavity
Abdominopelvic cavity
Abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity, peritoneal cavity
Visceral Pleura
(inner layer)
Parietal pleura
(outer layer)
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue
No intercellular space, closely bound together
Epithelial exposed surface
Apical Surface
Epithelial attached surface
Basal surface (remember polarity refers to structural and functional differences)
Epithelioid cells
Epithelial cells without a free surface
What is the basal layer attached to?
Basal lamina
True or False: epithelial tissue is avascular
True
Neuroepithelia
Provides sensation
How are secretions produced
Through unicellular glands and glandular epithelia
What structures are found on the basolateral surface of cells?
Microvilli, Stereocilia, Ciliated spithelium
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Pericardial body cavity/alveoli, absorption
Stratified squamous epithelium
lining of vagina, protection
simple cuboidal epithelium
kidney tubules, absorption
stratified cuboidal epithelium
lining of some ducts, protection
simple columnar epithelium
lining of uterine tubes, protection
stratified columnar epithelium
small portion of pharynx, protection
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Lining of nasal cavity, protection
Transitional epithelium
Urinary bladder, expansion and recoil
Glandular epithelia
Gland cells, multicellular glands
Exocrine glands
Serous: watery fluid
Mucous: mucus
Mixed exocrine glands: both serous and mucus
Unicellular glands
Mucins -
2 types: Goblet cells in the trachea and mucous cells in the salivary glands
Multicellular glands
- Produce secretory sheets
- Can be simple or compound
- Tubular, Alveolar, or tubuloalveolar
Eccrine Secretion
Most common, vesicles empty to surface
Apocrine secretion
Shedding of cytoplasm
Holocrine secretion
Cell bursts
3 Main Components of Connective Tissues
- Specialized cells
- Extracellular protein fibers
- Matrix (extracellular protein fibers - CALCIFIED)
Three major types of connective tissue
- Proper
- Fluid
- Supporting
