3.1
Right brachiocephalic artery |
- carries blood to brachium and head
- brachio = arm - cephalic = head - artery that goes to the right arm and right side of the head |
|
|
3.2
left common carotid |
divides into 2 major arteries - superficial and deep carotids.
- common = artery splits into two, becoming the deep and superficial carotid arteries - carotid = karos = deep sleep |
|
|
3.3
left subclavian artery |
- carries blood to region under clavicle, then to upper limb
subclavian = lies beneath the clavicle |
|
|
3.4
horizontal plane |
- transverse, axial
- superior/inferior - longitudinal plane |
|
|
3.5
median sagittal |
- oriented vertically
- divides body into right and left |
|
|
3.6
coronal |
- vertically
- anterior/posterior - ventral/dorsal |
|
|
3.7
dorsal and proximal |
dorsal = closer to the core body
proximal = away from the core body |
|
|
3.8
cranial and caudal |
- superior = cranial
- inferior = caudal |
|
|
3.9
subcutaneous tissue |
- superficial fascia
- varying amounts of fat - superficial lymphatic and blood vessels - cutaneous nerves and some glands |
|
|
3.10
langer lines |
- surgical incisions are made parallel with tension lines

|
|
3.11
stretch marks |
- skin stretching perpendicular to these tension lines
- striae gravidarum: pregnant women, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, breast - striae distensae: obese people, rapid increase in size, damaging collagen fibers of dermis |

|
3.12
abduct vs. adduct |
abduct: take away from the midline: shoulder backing in
adduct: bring towards the midline: shoulder moving out |
|
|
3.13
flexion vs. extension |
flexion: bending the joint
extension: extending the joint |
|
|
3.14
medial and lateral rotation |
- medial rotation roles the joint toward the midline
- lateral rotates the joint away from the midline |
|
|
3.15
pronation and supination |
- pronation is facing the ground
- supination: facing the sky |
