Anatomy - Lecture - Ch 1

Front 1

Anatomy Vs. Physiology -

Back 1

Anatomy - "To cut up, or open"
- study of body structure (cytology, histology, embryology, regional and surface anatomy)
Physiology - "study of body function"

Front 2

History of Anatomy -
1. Herophilus
2. Leonardo Da Vinci
3. Andreas Vesalius

Back 2

1. "Father of Anatomy" first to publicly dissect human bodies (300 BC)
2. One of greatest anatomist of all time. performed dissections to improve drawings.(1452-1519)
3. Taught med students around dissection table (1500's)

Front 7

Serous Membranes:
1. Visceral Layer
2. Parietal Layers
3. Function of lubricating film

Back 7

- consist of a continuous two-layered sack
1. covers organs
2. lines the body cavity
3. Serous Fluid secreted by the serious membrane - REDUCES FRICTION caused by moving organs

Front 8

Serous Membrane Names of:
1. Heart
2. Lungs
3. Stomach

Back 8

1. Pericardium
2. Pleura
3. Peritoneum

Abdominopelvic Quadrants
1. RUQ (right upper quadrant)
2. LUQ (left upper quadrant)
3. RLQ (right lower quadrant)
4. LLQ (left lower quadrant)

Back 9

1. Liver, Gallbladder
2. stomach
3. intestines,bladder, appendix
4. intestines, bladder

Front 10

Medical Imaging
1. Radiography (x-ray)
2. Computed tomography (CT or CAT scan)
3. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
4. Sonography (ultrasound)
5. Angiography
6. Positron emission tomography

Back 10

1. uses electromagnetic radiation. Can only see dense structures
2. fancy 2-3 dimensional x-rays. Multiple angles
3. Uses magnets, not x-rays. shows differences in soft tissues. etc Good for brain scanning or cancer scanning.
4. uses sound waves to detect images
5. uses radioactive substance injected in blood vessels to get picture of veins, artery, vessels, etc.
6. radioactive tracer isotope injected in patient, and then absorbs into tissue.
