Position ON the midline
Proximal
position close to the point of origin or attachment of a structure
Distal
Describes a position away from point of origin or attachment of a structure
Superficial
Denotes position near the surface



also external
Deep
Denotes position away from the surface

IE Profound = deep

also internal
Ipsilateral
being located on the same side
Flexion
movement that decreases the angle between two bones

Movement away from midline
Adduction
movement toward the midline
Rotation
Movement around the longitudinal axis of a bone
Circumdirection
complex movement around a fixed point involving sequence of

flexion, abduction, extension, adduction
Pronation
specialized movement in the foream in which the hand is turned to face posteriorly
Supination
specialized movement in the foream in which the hand is turned back into the anatomical position and faces anteriorly
Eversion
Turning the sole of the foot (plantar surface) outward
Inversion
Turning the sole of the foot (plantar surface) inward
Dorsiflexion
movement of the foot so that the toes point cranially
Plantarflexion
movement of the foot so that the toes point caudally
Opposition
pad of thumb touches the pads of other digits
reposition
movement of thumb back into the anatomical position
Elevation
lifting of a part
depression
pulling down of a part
protrusion
pushing a part forward

Skin out cuticle is divided into these two parts
epidermis and dermis
4 Appendages of the skin
nails
hair
Sebaceous glands
sweat glands
What is the skin innervated by?
cutaneous nerves, which convey sensation from the skin to the CNS
Sweat glands are important why?
Thermoregulation
The two layers of Fascia?
Superficial fascia
Deep Fascia
Superficial fascia where? what is it?
under skin
consisting of loose areolar connective tissue
Deep Fascia where? what is it?
denser CT, invests in muscles in tendons

forms intermuscular septa
intermuscular septa
deep fascia that extends inbetween muscle to bone,

serve to form muscle compartments in limbs
3 Basic Muscles tissue types
Cardiac Muscle- makes up heart
Smooth Muscle- located in wall of hollow viscera and blood vessels
Skeletal Muscle- voluntary muscles of musculoskeletal system
Tendons?
dense connective tissue structures that connect muscle to bone
Proximal point of attachment
Distal point
Whats in between?
origin
insertion
belly
aponeurosis
broad flat tendon of attachment of a muscle
raphe
interdigiation of the insertions of muscle on each other
How many different Ways can muscles be named
7: Shape, size, number of heads or bellies, location, action, depth, attachments
Unipennate Bipennate Multipennate
When muscle fibers attach obliquely to their tendons, they look like a feather
Joints formed where...
two or more bones come together
3 Classification of joints
Fibrous Joint
Cartilaginous joint
Synovial Joint
Synovial Joint
Freely Moveable Joint
Bones covered by articular cartilage
joint capsule usually reinforced by ligaments
most numerous joint
3 types of synovial joints
Uniaxial joint
Biaxial Joint
Multiaxial Joint
Uniaxial joint
Movement in only one plane of space

Plane / Gliding Joints- Articular surfaces are flat (Sternoclavicular)
Pivot Joints- one bone rotates around another (alantoaxial, radioulnar)
Hinge Joints- flexion and extension (knee, elbow)
Biaxial Joint
Movement in two planes of space

Condyloid- "Knuckle joints" permit flexion and extension, abduction, and adduction (metapharyngeal)
Ellipsoid- oval ellipsoid surface fits into oval concavity to permit flexion extension and abduction and adduction ( radiocarpal joint/ wrist)
Multiaxial Joint
permit movement in all 3 planes of space

Saddle Joints- reciprocal bones resemble a horse back
Ball and Socket joints- Shoulder and hip
Stability of Joints conferred by these 3 factors
Ligaments
Muscle Tone
Congruence of Articular Surfaces- how tightly the bones fit together
Bursae
blind synovial pouches that intervene between bone and skin and between bone and bone to facillate movement at joints
Mucous Membranes
IE?
Interior Lining of hollow organs of the body

Epithelium
Lamina propria
Mucularis Mucosa
Serous Membranes
IE?
Line the body cavities and covers the organs

Mesothelium
Underlying Connective Tissue
