x A&P 1/2 (1-5) Flashcards
Anatomy
study and structure of body parts and their relationship to one another
Physiology
study of the function of body’s structural machinery
Cytology
study of the cell
Histology
study of tissues
Embryology
study of developmental changes of the body before birth
Pathological anatomy
study of structural changes caused by disease
Molecular Biology
study of anatomical structures at sub cellular level
Principle of Complementarity
-function always reflects structure -what a structure can do, depends on it’s specific form
Anatomical Position
Body erect, feet slight apart, palm facing forwards, thumbs point away from body
Superior (cranial) /Inferior (caudal)
towards/away from head
Anterior (Ventral) /Posterior (Dorsal)
front/back of body
Medial/Lateral/Intermediate
toward mid-line/away from mid-line/btwn a more medial and lateral structure
Proximal/Distal
closer to/farther from origin of body part
Regional Terms: Anterior View
pg 18
Pic: Body Planes:
Pg 21
Sagittal Plane
divide body into R and L
Midsagittal / Medial
sagittal plane that lies on the midline
Frontal / Coronal Plane
divides body into Anterior/Posterior
Transverse / Horizontal Plane
divides body into superior / inferior (cross section)
Oblique Section
cuts made diagonally
Dextracardia
Heart on right side (Dextra = Right) (Sinister = Left)
Dorsal cavity protects
nervous system (Dorsal=back)
Dorsal Cavity (2 parts)
Cranial cavity = within skull (encases brain) Vertebral cavity = runs w vertebral column (encases SC)
Ventral Cavity houses
the internal organs (viscera) (Ventral=front)
Ventral Cavity (2 parts)
-Thoracic -Abdominal -Pelvic (Abdominopelvic)
What is the chief respiratory muscle?
Diaphragm
Abdominal Cavity houses
digestive viscera (stomach, intestine, spleen, liver and other organs)
Pelvic cavity houses
bladder, repro organs, rectum
* What cavity is the heart in?
usually Thoracic. However, in Hypertrophy of R Ventricle, there is an INC in size and heart enters abdominal cavity. Usually in females during pregnancy
Thoracic Cavity contains
Heart and Lungs
Thoracic Cavity (parts), pg 25
-Mediastinum -Pleural Cavity (2, each houses one lung) -Pericardial cav w mediastinum (enclose heart)
Latin words mean: -Hepar -Lien -Ren -Nephro (greek) -Gaster -Ventricular (greek)
-Hepar = Liver (hepatitis) -Lien = Spleen -Ren = kidney -Nephro (greek) kidney -Gaster = stomach -Ventricular (greek) = stomach
Mediastinum - 3 Parts
pericardial cavity, surrounds remaining thoracic organs -Superior -Middle -Inferior
How much fluid in Pleural Cavities
10-15ml. Purpose to prevent friction of lung membranes. If there is a pleural friction rub, indicates Hydrothorax. fluid in pleural cavity
Pleural membrane covers the….
lungs
Pericardium covers the….
heart
* Where is the heart located?
IN the thoracic cavity, in Middle Mediastinum
Pneumothorax
air in pleural cavity
Hemothorax
blood in pleaurla cavity
Ventral Cavity Membranes
-Parietal Serosa (lines internal body walls, outer layer balloon) -Visceral Serosa (covers organs, inner layer) -Serous fluid separates the serosae
* Cardiac Tamponade
Compression of the heart caused by fluid collecting in the sac surrounding the heart.
Abdominopelvic Regions
p 33 condriac = cartilage
Organs of Abdominopelvic region,…

Abdominal Regions (9)
.Right Hypochondriac Region .Epigastric Region .Left Hypochondriac Region .Right Lumbar Region .Umbilical Region .Left Lumbar Region .Right Iliac (inguinal) Region .Hypogastric (Pubic) Region .Left Iliac (Inguinal) Region
4 Types of Tissue
-Epithelial -Smooth Muscle -Connective Tissue -Nerve
Major source of Vit D
through skin. Milk - Vit D - D1 - Liver (D2) - Kidney (D3, activated form)
What is the activated form of Vit D
D3, reliant upon kidneys to convert from Liver’s D2.
Hematopoiesis
-formation of blood cells -All blood cells start off as hematopoietic stem cells, and then specialize (differentiate) into myeloid cells (erythrocytes, megakaryocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, or eosinophils) or lymphoid cells (T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes).
Skeletal Sytem Facts
-made of bone, cartilage, ligaments -protect/support body organs -framework for muscles -site of blood formation -stores minerals
Fracture of long bone increases risk of….
fat embolism
95% of hematopoesis takes place in the….
sternum (95% of marrow is yellow, fatty)
Muscular System facts…
muscles/tendons -produce heat -locomotion -posture
Glucose storage (3 places)
-skeletal muscle -liver -RBCs
3 types of muscle
-skeletal -smooth -cardiac
Nervous system facts….
(brain/SC/nerves) -fast acting control system of body -responds to stimuli by activating muscles/glands
Cardiovascular System facts….
heart/blood vessels -heart pumps blood -blood vessels transport blood thru body
Lymphatic System facts…
(red bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels) -returns leaked fluid to blood -disposes debris in lymphatic system -houses WBCs involved w immunity
Central Lymphoid System…
Thymus and Bone marrow (immature cells mature)
Peripheral Lymphoid System….
spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, appendix, (initiate adaptive immune response)
Respiratory Sytem facts…
(nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs)
Digestive System facts…
(oral cavity,esophagus, stomach, small/large intestine,rectum, anus, LIVER) -breaks down food to absorbable units -eliminates indigestible as feces
Urinary System facts…
(kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra) -eliminates nitrogenous waste -regulate H2O, electrolytes and pH balance of blood
what is relationship between kidney and Vit D
creates activated Vit D3
Kidney Functions
-eliminates N waste (Filtration) -activation of Vit D3 -creation of erythropoietin, hormone to produce RBCs Filtration, Reabsorption, Secretion
the 3 interdependent components of control mechanisms…
.Receptor: monitor envt, respond to changes/stimuli .Control Center: determines set point at which variable is maintained. .Effector: means to respond to stimuli
Negative Feedback
-the output shuts off the original stimulus (i.e. regulation of temp) -controls 99% of organ systems
