Unit 1 Flashcards
Frontal plane/coronal plane
Separate body into front and back (for coronal through coronal suture-tends to be used in regards to head?)
Ventral
Towards front of body (away from back bone)
Anterior
Towards front of body
Dorsal
Away from front of body (towards backbone)
Posterior
Towards back or away from front (reference to head or free extremities)
Cranial
Towards head (rostral)
Caudal
Towards tail
Superior and inferior
Upper lower
Superficial and deep
At surface and away from surface
Medial
Towards axis of body
Lateral
Away from center of body
Peripheral
Towards outer surface of body
Sagittal plane
Vertical plane, separates body into left and right
5 types of elementary tissue
Epithelium, connective, muscular, nervous, vascular
Epithelial tissue
Covers things (external surface of body and lines tubes and passages to exterior)
Connective tissue
Bind/connect structures, provides body support, aids in bodily maintenance
- loose=areolar and adipose
- dense=tendons, ligaments, fasciae, reticular
- soecialized=bones and cartilage
3 types of cartilage
1) hyaline- covers the articular surfaces of joints and for,s framework of larynx, trachea, and bronchi
2) elastic- occurs in external auditory meatus, epiglottis, and some small laryngeal cartilage
3) fibrous- some joints of body and some ligaments, particularly spinal column
Tendons
Muscle to bone
Ligaments
Bone to bone
The three body cavities
Pleural-lungs
Pericardial-heart
Peritoneal- digestive organs
Two kinds of bones
Dense/compact
Spongy/ cancellous
Haversian canals
Bone marrow
How many bones in adult human skeleton
206
Axial skeleton
Spine, cranium, ribs
Appendicular skeleton
Appendages
What are the three types of joints
Synarthrodic-immovable
Ampiarthrodic- slightly moveable
Diarthrotic-freely moveable
What are the three types of muscle
Smooth, cardiac, striated (aka skeletal)
Cardiac muscle
In heart, appear striated, involuntary control
Smooth (visceral) muscle
In walls of hollow visceral organs, appear spindle shaped, involuntary control
Striated muscle
Attached to skeleton, striated, voluntary control, multi-nucleated
