Define anatomy

The study of structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.

The two major types of anatomic study

Microscopic- Examines the body structures that can't be observed by the naked eye.




Gross anatomy (Macroscopic)- Examines the structure and relationships of large body parts visible to the naked eye.

The subdivisions of microscopic anatomy

Cytology-study of single body cells and their internal structures.




Histology-study of tissues examining how groups of specialized cells and their products function for a common purpose.

The subdivisions of Gross anatomy (Macroscopic)

Developmental anatomy


Regional anatomy


Embryology anatomy


Surface anatomy


systemic anatomy


Identify

Identify the regions

Identify the regions

Describe anatomical position and explain its significance





Anatomical position is also known as the universal reference point. As a result, the body is erect,face/eyes forward,upper limbs at side palms forward, lower limbs parallel, feet/toes forward.

Describe the anatomical planes of selection

1. Sagittal- any vertical plane cutting the body into left and right




2.Median/Midsagittal- a vertical plane that passes through the midline of the body divided into left and right.




3. Frontal/Coronal-divides the body into anterior and posterior portions




4. Transverse/Horizontal-divides body into sueprior and inferior portions.

Compare and contrast bilateral and unilateral

Bilateral occurs on both sides of the midline. However, unilateral occurs on only one side of the midline.

Compare and contrast ipsilateral and contralateral

Ipsilateral occurs same side of the body.


Contralateral opposite sides of the body

Define the terms that describe the location of a body structure relative to the front or back of body

Anterior-towards the front of the body


Posterior-towards the back of the body

Define the terms that describe the location of a body structure relative to the head

Superior-towards the head


Inferior-towards the feet

Define the terms that describe the location of a body structure relative to the body surface

Superficial- Closer to the surface(on top)


Deep-further from the surface (inside)

Define the terms that describe the location of a body structure relative to the beginning of a limb

Proximal-closer to th beginning of limb


distal-further from the beginning of limb

prone

anterior

supine

Epithelia form the ____ layer of the body

surface

Epithelia line ____ ______ and _______

body cavities and hollow organs

Epthelia constitute (make up) most ______?

Gland tissue

What is the functional unit of the nervous tissue?

neurons

What are the supporting cells of the nervous tissue?

Neuroglial cells

The basal is surface of an epithelium is fixed to an underlying connective tissue. What structurally separates the two different tissue types?

layers



Epithelia lack blood vessels. What is the term that means lack of blood vessels?

Avascularity

If a cell is keratinized is the surface layer of cells alive or dead?

dead

What structure do all the three types of cartilage have in common?

Chondrocytes

Name the formed elements of blood

Erothycyte, leukocyte and platelets

The watery ground substance of blood consists of dissolved _____?

proteins

Compare cartilage and bone

cartilage is semisolid matrix and it contains hyaline, fibrocartilage and elastic.




bone is solid matrix and it contains spongy and compact.

3 types of muscle

Skeleton,cardiac and smooth muscle




1. Epidermis


2. Dermis


3.Subcutaneous (hypodermis)

What are the two general cell types of nervous tissue?

Neuron & Neuroglial cell

The functions of a neuron

to receive,transmit and process nerve impulses

A ___________ is where information is transferred between nerve cells (or to an effector cell, or to a sensory receptor cell)

Synapse

An oligodendrocyte is a neuroglial cell found in the _______

CNS

While a Schwann cell is a neuroglial cell found in the ________

PNS

Oligodendrocytes functions

1. Myelinated and insultates CNS axon


2. Allow faster action potential propagation allong axons in thed CNS


3.Large cells with bulbous body and slender


4.Cytoplasmic extension

Schwann Cells

1. Myelinates and insulates pns axons


2. Allows for faster action potentionally propagation and an axon in the PNS


3. Cell grows around axon ,cytoplasm is squeezed out and multiple layers of cell membrane wrap the axon.

Functions of integument

1. Protection (physical injury,chemicals, toxics and microbes)


2. Prevents water loss


3.Temperature regulation


4.Sensory perception


5.Excretory organ-sweat
