Sub disciplines of Anatomy
|
gross, regional, systemic, surface, microscopic, developmental, embryology, pathological, radiographic, functional morphology
|
|
The hierarchy of structural organization
|
chemical->cellular->tissue-> organ->organ system-> organismal level
|
|
Tissue level (4 types)
|
-epithelial: covers/lines -connective : supports/protects organs -muscle: provides movement -nervous: fast communication through electrical pulses |
|
12 organ systems
|
integumentary (skin), skeletal (blood cells formed in bones/stores minerals), muscular (produces heat), nervous (activates appropriate muscles/glands), endocrine (secretes hormones-growth, reproduction, nutrient use, metabolism), cardiovascular (pumps/carries oxygen, co2, and nutrients), reproductive
|
|
12 organ systems
|
lymphatic (picks up fluid leaked from b.v. & returns it to the blood), immune (house wbc involved in immunity, attacks system against foreign substances), respiratory (keeps blood supplied with oxygen &removes co2), digestive (indigestible food are eliminated as feces), urinary (eliminates nitrogenous wastes, regulates water, electrolytes, & acid-base balance of blood)
|
|
regional terms
|
axial and appendicular |
|
1. saggital plane 2. parasaggital plane 3. median/midsaggital plane |
1. divides body into L & R 2. to the side of the midline 3. exactly the midline |
|
1. frontal plane/coronal 2. transverse plane |
1. anterior/posterior ventral/dorsal 2. superior/anterior
|
|
Prone supine |
laying on belly laying on back |
|
inner and outer tubes
|
inner- mouth->anus, includes respiratory/digestive organs axial skeleton/muscles (head, neck, trunk: pelvis, abdomen, thorax), shows evidence of segmentation |
|
Body cavities
|
dorsal, ventral- house/support organs, compartmentalize organs, diseases cannot spread |
|
dorsal
|
subdivided into: cranial cavity (encases brain) vertebral canal (runs through the vertebral column to enclose the spinal cord) |
|
ventral organs
|
lungs, heart, intestines, kidneys (visceral organs)
|
|
visceral organs (viscera)
|
internal organs of the chest and abdomen
|
|
ventral divisions
|
thoracic cavity - superior (toward the head), surrounded by the ribs&muscles of the chest wall ------diaphragm separates----- abdominopelvic cavity- inferior, surrounded by abdominal wall and pelvic girdle |
|
thoracic cavity
|
3 parts pleural cavity- around the lung mediastinum- central band of organs, contains the heart and is surrounded by... pericardial cavity- houses other major thoracic organs such as the esophagus/trachea around the heart |
|
abdominopelvic cavity
|
2 parts abdominal cavity- superior (toward head) contains liver, stomach, kidneys and other organs pelvic cavity- inferior (away from the head) contrains bladder, some reproductive organs, and the rectum |
|
serous membranes
|
pleura (lung), pericardium (heart), peritoneum (abdominal viscera) line the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, double layer, secretes serous fluid, cover visceral organs, reduces friction |
|
parietal serosa
|
lines cavity
|
|
visceral serosa
|
lines organ (lung, heart, abdominal viscera)
|
|
dif types of serous cavities/membranes
|
parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium, parietal pleura, visceral pleura, parietal peritoneum, visceral peritoneum parietal serosa is continuous with the visceral serosa |
|
body membranes
|
cover, separate, support visceral organs/line body cavities
|
|
cutaneous membrane synovial membrane mucous membrane |
skin-dry membrane but secretes oil lining of movable joints secrete mucus (lube/protection) *respiratory/digestive systems |
|
abduction adduction |
|
|
flexion extension |
|
|
rotation
|
body part that moves around the axis (transverse plane)
|
|
pronation supination |
|
|
inversion eversion |
|
|
plantar flexion dorsiflexion |
|
|
circumduction
|
|
|
opposition
|
|
|
elevation depression |
|
|
dilate constrict |
|
|
bone features
|
cavities- soft tissues- arteries, veins, nerves articulations- areas with cartilage projections- attachment points for tendons and ligaments |
|
skeleton
|
|
|
appendicular skeleton
|
bones of the upper/lower limbs |
|
joint |
two bones connect |
|
origin
|
attaches to stationary bone usually proximal (nearer to the center of the body) |
|
insertion |
|
|
actions
|
the action of a muscle can be inferred by the position of the muscle relative to the joint it crosses |
|
compact bone
|
riddles with passageways for blood vessel/nerves |
|
osteon/haversian system
|
long, cylindral structures oriented parallel to the long axis of the bone and to the main compression stresses |
|
lamella
|
a layer of bone matric in which collagen fibers/mineral crystals align and run in a single direction |
|
vertebrates share these |
1. tube with in a tube body plan 2. bilateral symmetry 3. dorsal hollow nerve cord 4. notochord & vertebrae 5. segmentation 6. pharyngeal pouches |
|
medial/lateral rotation
