 Anatomy | to cut up or cut open study of body structure |
| physiology | study of body function |
| Herophilus | "Father of Anatomy". First to disect human bodies |
| Leonardo Da Vinci | Preformed dissections to improve paintings |
| Andreas Vesalius | Taught Med students around the operating and dissecting table |
| Structural organization of the body | Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, organism |
| Organ Systems | Integumentary, muscular, cardio, nervous, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrinal,reproductive, skeletal *I Made Carmon, Nellie, and Lauren Read Doctor Urinary's Exciting Skeleton Report |
| Integumentary system | protects,regs body temp, site of cutaneous receptors, sythesizes vitamin D, prevents water loss |
| Skeletal system | suppot, prtect, blood cell production, store calcium and phosphrous, provides site for muscle attachment |
| muscular | produces movement, generates heat (when muscles contract) |
| nervous | respond to stimuli, controls body movement, helps control all other body systems, responsible for intelligence and consciusness and memory |
| Endoctrine | consist of glands and cell clusters that secret horomones |
| Cardio system | made of heart, blood, and blood vessels. |
| lymphatic system | tranports and filters lymph (intersitial fluid) and innitates and immune response when needed |
| Respritory | responsible for gas exchange between blood and the air in the lungs |
| Digestive | Chem and Mechanically breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and expels waste products |
| saggital cut | L and Right halves |
| coronal (fronatal) cut | seperate antorior from posterior |
| Transverse cut | seperates superior and inferior "bellu button cut" |
| oblique cut | passing at an angle |
| ventral | belly side |
| caudal | tail or rear end |
| lateral | away from the midline |
| proximal | closer to the point of attachment |
| distal | farther from the point of attachment |
| cervical | neck |
| coxal | hip |
| axiallary | armpit |
| deltoid | shoulder |
| brachial/antebrachial | arm/ forearm |
| carpal | wrist |
| femoral | thigh |
| patellar | knee cap |
| crural | leg |
| pes | foot |
| cephallic | head |
| buccal | check |
| inguinal | groin |
| tarsal | ankle |
| auricular | ear |
| olecranal | elbow |
| Dorsum of foot | top of foot |
| Dorsum of hands | top of hands |
| sural | calf |
| calcaneal | heel |
| popliteal | bk of knee |
| Abominopelvic quadrants | RUQ,LUQ,RLQ,LLQ |
| RUQ | liver, galbladder |
| LUQ | Stomach |
| RLQ | Intestines, bladders, appendix |
| LLQ | Intestines, bladder |
| Body Cavity | 1. Ventral---thoracic and abdomiopelvic 2. thoracic cavity---mediastinum, plueral cavity, pericardial cavity 3. abdominopelvic---abdomial cavity and pelviccavity 4. Posterior aspect---cranial cavity and vertebral canal |
| Mediastinum | contains pericardial cavity, thymus, trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels |
| Abdominal cavity | stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, small/large intestine, ureters, kidneys |
| serous membrane | contious two layered sac |
| visceral layer | covers organs |
| parietal layer | lines the body cavity |
| MRI | magnetic resonance imaging. Best for sof structures |
| Radiography | x-rays. Best for hard structures |
| CT | computed tomogrophy. Computer puts X-rays together from many angles |
| sonogrophy | ultrasound |
| angiography | visualized blood vessels |
| PET | poistron emmision tomography |
| Which body cavity contains the lungs? The Brain? | Thoracic, Cranial |
