what organs are located in the abdominal cavity | peritoneum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, intestines, kidneys, ureters, major blood vessels |
what organs are located in the pelvic cavity | rectum, urinary bladder, parts of the reproductive system |
"true pelvis" is defined as | portion of the abdominopelvic cavity inferior to a plane passing through the sacral promontory posteriorly and the superior surface of the pubic bones anteriorly |
abdominopelvic cavity is enclosed in a double-walled seromembranous | peritoneum |
the outer portion of the double-walled seromembranous sac | parietal peritoneum |
the inner portion of the double-walled seromebranous sac | visceral peritoneum |
the peritoneum forms folds are called | the mesentery and omenta |
the space between the two layers of the peritoneum | peritoneal cavity and contains fluids |
what cavity is behind the peritoneum | retroperitoneum |
what organs lie in the retroperitoneum | kidneys and pancreas |

what is the common AP projection of the abdomen with the patient | KUB |
why is the chest image included as part of the acute abdomen series | to rule out free air, bowel obstruction, and infection |
what image should be substituted for the upright abdomen radiograph when the patient is unable to stand | left lateral decubitus |
what is the advantage of the left lateral decubitus position compared with the supine position AP abdomen | demonstration of air-fluid levels |
what structure of the upper abdomen should be demonstrated on the image | diaphragm |
for the KUB image, when should respiration be suspended and what effect will that have on the patient | on full expiration; elevate the diaphragm |

human body has how many bones | 206 |
what are the 2 groups the body is divided into | axial and appendicular |
how many bones in the axial skeleton | 80 - skull, neck, thorax, vertebral column, ribs |
how many bones in the appendicular skeleton | 126 - shoulder girdle, upper limbs, lower limbs, pelvic girdle |
bones are composed of a strong, dense outer layer called | the compact bone - protects the bone and gives it strength for supporting the body |
the inner portion of the bone that is less dense is called | the spongy bone |
the softer spongy bone contains a spiculated network of interconnecting spaces called | the trabeculae |
long bones have a central cavity called | medullary cavity - which contains trabeculae filled with yellow marrow |
in long bones what is concentrated at the ends of the bone and not in the medullary cavity | the red marrow |
a tough, fibrous connective tissue that covers all bony surfaces except the articular surfaces is called | periosteum |
what is found in bone marrow | tissue occupying the medullary cavity |
what is found in the red bone marrow | forms red and white blood cells |
what is found in the yellow bone marrow | replaces red bone marrow in the long bone of adults, contains considerable fat |
the tissue lining the medullary cavity of bones is called | endosteum |
bones that contain various knoblike projections, which are covered by the periosteum is called | tubercles or tuberosities |
blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the bone through? | the periosteum |
the opening of the periosteum where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit is called | foramina |
the term given to the development and formation of bones is called | ossification |
ossification occurs separately by 2 distinct process called | intermembranous and endochondral ossifications |
describe intermembranous ossification | bones that develop from fibrous membranes in the embryo produce the flat bones(skull,clavicle,sternum)-before birth these bones are not joined its until after birth the flat bones grow and it joins and forms sutures |
describe endochondrial | develops from hyline cartilage in the embryo and produce short, irregular and long bones - this ossification occurs from 2 distinct centers of development called primary and secondary centers of ossification |
describe primary ossification | begins before birth and forms the entire bulk of the short and irregular bones-this process forms the long central shaft in the long bones |
during the development of the primary center of ossification, the long shaft bone is called | diaphysis |
describe secondary ossification | occurs after birth when a separate bone begins to develop at both ends of each long bone. |
in the secondary ossification, each end bone that is developed is called | epiphysis |
in the secondary ossification the diaphysis and epiphysis are distinctly separated, however during growth a plate of cartilage develops called | epiphyseal plate |
as full ossification occurs the epiphyseal completely joins, only a moderately visible what appears on the bone | epiphyseal line |
what are five classifications of bones | long, short, flat, irregular and sesamoid |
describe long bones | are only found in limbs, consist of primarily of a long cylindric shaft called the body and two enlarged rounded ends that contain a smooth slippery articular surface(femur,metacarpals/tarsals)-primary function is to provide support |
describe short bones | bones that contain red marrow and have a thin outer layer of compact bone, carpal bones of the wrist and tarsal bones of the ankle- allow minimum flexibility of motion in a short distance |
describe flat bones | consist of two tables of compact bone-marrow space between the inner and outer tables contains cancellous bone and red marrow or "diploe" as it is called flat bones (ribs, scapula) - provide protection and their broad surfaces allow muscle attachment |
describe irregular bones | peculiar shapes and variety of forms(vertebrae and bones in the pelvis, facial) - functions include attachment for muscles, tendons, liagments |
describe sesamoid | small and oval-expects believe that they alter the direction of muscle pull and decrease friction |
arthology | study of joints or articulations between bones |
what are the two classifications of joints | functional and structural |
describe functional classification | when joints are classified as functional, they are broken down into three classifications - synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses |
synarthroses | immovable joints |
amphiarthroses | slightly movable |
diarthroses | freely movable |
describe structural classification | based on the types of tissues that unite or bind the articulating bones - 3 distinct groups based on their connective tissues ; fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial |
what are the 3 distinct groups in structural classification based on their connective tissues | fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial |
describe fibrous joints | do not have a joint cavity-syndesmosis, suture, gomphosis are all immovable joints |
describe cartilaginous joints | either slightly movable or immovable - symphysis(slightly movable), synchondrosis(immovable) |
describe synovial joints | permit a wide range of motion and they are all freely movable - these joints are the most complex joints in the body |
what structure completely surrounds and enfolds all synovial joints to join separate bones together | articular capsule |
what is the outer layer of the articular capsule called | fibrous capsule-the fibrous tissue connects the capsule to the periosteum |
what is the inner layer of the articular capsule is called | synovial membrane-creates joint cavity - produces synovial fluid |
some synovial joints contain a pad of fibrocartilage called | meniscus- (shock absorbers) |
some synovial joints also contain synovial fluid-filled sacs outside the main joint cavity called | bursae - (reduce friction between skin, bones, tendons and muscles) |
what are the 6 synovial joints within the structural classification | gliding(plane), hinge(giglymus), pivot(trochoid), ellipsoid(condyloid), saddle(sellar), ball and socket (spheroid) |
describe glinding (plane) | permit slight movement - they have flattened or slightly curved surfaces - ex. intercarpal and intertarsal joints of the wrist |
describe hinge (ginglymus) | permits only flexion and extension - ex. elbow, knee and ankle |
describe pivot (trochoid) | joints allow only rotation around a single axis - rounded or pointed surface of one bone articulates within a ring formed partially by the other bone - ex. axis of a cervical spine |
describe ellipsoid (condyloid) | biaxial movement, primary. - movement in 2 directions at right angles to each other - ex. radiocarpal joint of the wrist |
describe saddle (sellar) | permits movement in 2 axes similar to the ellipsoid - articular surface of one bone is saddle shaped and the articular surface of the other bone is shaped like a rider sitting in a sadle |
describe ball and socket (spheroid) | permits movement in axes including flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, circumduction and rotation - ex. the hip and shoulder |
which terms refers to the study of the function of the body organs | physiology |
what are the 4 fundamental body planes | sagittal, coronal, horizontal, oblique |
which plane divides the body into equal right and left halves | midsagittal |
what are the 2 great cavities of the torso | thoracic and abdominal |
what is within the thoracic cavity | pleural membranes, lungs, trachea, esophagus, pericardium, heart and great vessels |
in which quadrant of the abdomen is the appendix located? | right lower quadrant |
which region of the abdomen is located below the umbilical region | hypogastrium |
which region of the abdomen is located below the left hypochondrium | left lateral |
