WT1 Tutorial Final (1-5) Flashcards
Differentiate between prone and supine postures
Prone - lying face down on stomach
Supine - lying face up on back
Differentiate superior and inferior
Superior - toward the head and away from the feet, UPPER part of the structure
Inferior - near the feet and away from the head, LOWER part of the structure
What is anatomical position
Body is upright, directly facing the observer, feet flat, and directed forward
The upper limbs are at the body’s sides with the palms facing forward
Differentiate anterior and posterior
Anterior - at or near the FRONT of the body
Posterior - at or near the BACK of the body
What is the midline
Imaginary line that divides the body into right and left halves
Differentiate medial and lateral
Medial - NEAR the midline
Lateral - AWAY from the midline
Differentiate deep and superficial
Deep - AWAY from the surface of the body
Superficial - CLOSE to the surface of the body
Differentiate proximal and distal
Proximal - CLOSE to the origination
Distal - FAR from the origination
What are planes
Imaginary flat surfaces that pass through parts of the body
What is the frontal (coronal) plane
Divides the body into front and back portions
(anterior/posterior)
What is the transverse/horizontal/axial plane
Divides the body into upper and lower portions
(superior/inferior)
What is the oblique plane
Passes through a structure or the entire body at an ANGLE
What is the sagittal plane (midsagittal/parasagittal)
Divides a structure or the body VERTICALLY into RIGHT or LEFT portions
Midsagittal - equal right and left portions
Parasagittal - unequal right and left portions

4 major tissue types
- Epithelial tissue
- Connective tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Nervous tissue
Epithelia properties
- stratified / simple / pseudo-stratified
- cuboidal / squamous / columnar
- keratinized / ciliated
Connective tissue categories (3)
- connective tissue proper
- supporting connective tissue
- fluid connective tissue
Connective tissue subcategories
- connective tissue proper
- supporting connective tissue
- fluid connective tissue
Connective tissue proper
- loose (areolar, adipose, reticular)
- dense (regular, irregular, elastic)
Supporting connective tissue
- bones
- cartilage (hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage)
Fluid connective tissue
- blood
- lymph
Tissue combinations (2)
- membrane
- fascia
What makes up the cutaneous membrane
- Epidermis
- Dermis
What is the name of the subcutaneous layer
Hypodermis
**Not part of the integument
What are the 5* epidermal strata
- Stratum corneum
*2. Stratum lucidum - Stratum granulosome
- Stratum spinosum
- Stratum basale
What are the 3 special cells found in the integument
- Langerhan cells = immune cells
- Merkel cells = nerve cells
- Melanocytes = make melanin pigments
What are the two dermal layers
- Stratum papillary (top)
- Stratum reticular (bottom)
What are some examples of accessory structures and which layer of the integument are they found
Hair follicles, arrector pilae, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, touch-related receptors and nerve fibres
Accessory structures are found in the dermis
Differentiate the vascularity of the epidermis and dermis
Epidermis = non-vascular = no blood vessels
Dermis = vascular = has blood vessels
What separates the epidermis and dermis
Basement membrane
What kind of cells are found in the epidermis
Keratinocytes = store keratin to keratinize skin (waterproof)
Melanocytes = make melanin pigments for skin
Langerhans’ cells = immune cells
Merkel’s cell = nerve cells
What kind of cells are found in the dermis
Fibroblasts = secrete matrix to form connective tissue
Macrophages = immune cells
Adipocytes = energy stores (fat)
Mast cells = loose areolar tissue, role in immune response
Schwann cells = produce myelin sheaths for axons
Stem cells = cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated
Classify a first degree burn - which layers of the integument are damaged
The first layers of the epidermis are damaged
- stratum corneum
- stratum lucidum
Classify a second degree burn - which layers of the integument are damaged
The epidermis is damaged and the damage may reach the dermis
- stratum corneum -> stratum basale
- stratum papillary (maybe)
Classify a third degree burn - which layers of the integument are damaged
The epidermis and dermis are completely damaged
- damage may even reach hypodermis
Differentiate thick and thin skin
Thick skin
- has hair
- has 5 strata in epidermis
Thin skin
- has no hair
- has 4 strata in epidermis
- contains more accessory structures
