Define what Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy is?
study of large body structures.
Made up of:
- regional
- surface
- systemic anatomy
This study includes cytology and histology.
Microscopic anatomy
What is the study of the formation of the newborn?
Embryology
What is the study of biology at the smallest level?
Molecular biology
Regional, Surface and Systemic anatomy are all part of what?
Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy
Embryology is part of what subset of anatomy?
Developmental Anatomy
What are examples of 2 Physiology subdivisions?
Renal or Cardiovascular
Describe what happens on a chemical level briefly.
Atoms combine to form molecules
What are cells made up of?
Molecules. (ie. smooth muscle cell)
What are tissues made up of?
Similar types of cells (ie. Blood Vessel)
An organ is made up of these.
Different types of tissues (ie. heart=organ)
What is an organ system made up of? What is an example of an organ system?
Consists of different organs working together
Example: cardiovascular system
An organism is made up of many of these?
Organ systems
What system protects and supports body organs, provides a framework the muscles use for movement. Blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals.
Skeletal System
This system forms the external body covering, and protects deeper tissue from injury. Synthesis Vitamin D, and houses cutaneous (pain, pressure, etc) receptors and sweat and oil glands.
Integumentary System
This system allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expressions. Maintains posture, produces heat.
Muscular System
Fast-acting control system that responds to internal and external changes by activating muscles and glands
Nervous System
This system breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood.
Digestive System
This system disposes of debris, houses white blood cells (lymphocytes), immune response.
Lymphatic System
This system, via the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to disposal organs?
Cardiovascular System
What system takes in oxygen and eliminates Carbon Dioxide?
Respiratory System
What are the necessary Life functions?
1. maintain boundaries
2.Movement
3.responsiveness
4.digestion/excretion
5.metabolism
6.Reproduction
7.Growth
What are the survival needs?
1. Nutrients
2. Oxygen
3. Water
4. Normal Body Temp
5. Atmospheric Pressure
Give an example of a receptor?
Temperature sensitive cells in skin and brain
Thermoregulatory center in brain
Control Center
What is an example of an effector?
Sweat Glands
What feedback system does this suggest?
1. Receptors sense decreased blood volume
2. Control Center sends ADH (antidiuretic)
3. ADH causes kidneys (effectors) to return more water to the blood.
Negative Feedback
This feedback exhibits a cascade or amplifying effect.
EXAMPLES:
1. Contractions in labor
2. Blood clotting (attract more platelets)
Positive feedback
Toward the head (closer to)
Superior (cranial)
1. The knee is superior to the foot
Means away from the head, or just away from?
Inferior (caudal)
1. the foot is inferior to the knee
Toward the front of the body
Anterior (ventral)
1. Breastbone is anterior to the heart
Toward the back of the body
Posterior (dorsal)
1. The spinal cord is posterior to the heart
Toward or at the midline (on the inner side of)
Medial
1. The spinal cord is medial to the arm.
Away from midline (outer side of)
Lateral
1. The arm is lateral to the spinal cord.
Between a more medial and a more lateral structure
Intermediate
1. The scapula (shoulder blade) is intermediate to the arm and the spinal cord.
Closer to the origin of the body part (limb)
Proximal
Farther from the origin of the body part (limb)
Distal
Toward or at the body surface (more external)
Superficial
1. The skin is superficial to the muscle
Away from body surface (more internal)
Deep
2. The muscle are deep to the skin.
Head, neck, and trunk are part of which region?
Axial region
Limbs are part of this region
Appendicular region
Divides body VERTICALLY into right and left parts
Sagittal Plane
Lies on Midline
Midsagittal Plane
Not on Midline (location)
Parasagittal
Divides body VERTICALLY into anterior and posterior planes parts
Frontal Plane
Divides body HORIZONTALLY into superior and inferior parts
Transverse Plane (produces cross section)
What is the term for a cut that is made diagonally?
Oblique Section
Divides body VERTICALLY into anterior and posterior planes parts
Frontal Plane
Surrounds thoracic organs, contains pericardial cavity
Mediastinum
What cavity encloses the heart?
Pericardial Cavity
Divides body HORIZONTALLY into superior and inferior parts
Transverse Plane (produces cross section)
This cavity contains Stomach, spleen, intestines, and liver.
Abdominal Cavity
The medical term used to cut someone/thing diagonally.
Oblique Section
This cavity contains the urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum.
Pelvic Cavity
This cavity houses internal organs, thoracic cavity, and abdominal cavity?
Ventral Cavity
Surrounds thoracic organs, contains pericardial cavity
Mediastinum
This cavity encloses the heart
Pericardial Cavity
This cavity protects the nervous system
Dorsal Cavity
Double-walled sac that contains the heart
Pericardium
What are the two layers to the pericardial sac?
1. Serous pericardium
2. fibrous pericardium
The serous pericardium is divided into which two layers?
1. parietal pericardium
2. visceral pericardium
What are the regions of the stomach?
UPPER:: 1. Right Hypochondriac (liver) 2. Epigastric (stomach)3. Left Hypochondriac
MIDDLE: 1. Right Lumbar 2. Umbilical (small intestine)3. Left Lumbar
LOWER: 1. Right Inguinal (appendix) 2. Hypogastric (urinary bladder)3. Left Inguinal
