Anatomy Basics 1
| Integumentary System | skin, hair, sweat glands, nails |
| Nervous System | brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, sense organs |
| Endocrine System | pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas adrenal glands, gonads (ovaries and testes) endocrine tissues in other systems |
| Skeletal System | bones, cartilages, ligaments, bone marrow |
| Muscular System | skeletal muscles, tendons |
| Cardiovascular System | heart, blood, blood vessels |
| Lymphatic System | spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels tonsils |
| Respiratory Systems | nasal cavities, sinuses, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli |
| Digestive System | teeth, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas |
| Urinary System | kidneys, ureters, urethra, urinary bladder |
| Male Reproductive System | testes, epididymis, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, penis, scrotum |
| Female Reproductive System | ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, labia, clitoris, mammary gland |
| Homeostatis | a stable internal environment. |
| Homeostatic regulation | the adjustment of the organ systems to maintain a stable internal environment. |
| Fundamental concept | the organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis. |
| Anatomical Position | head facing forward feet facing forward arms down at sides palms facing forward |
| frontal | forehead |
| nasal | nose |
| ocular, orbital | eye |
| otic | ear |
| buccal | cheek |
| cervical | neck |
| thoracic, thorax | chest |
| mammary | breast |
| abdominal | abdomen |
| umbilical | navel |
| pelvic | pelvis |
| manual | hand |
| inguinal | groin |
| pubic | pubis |
| femoral | thigh |
| pedal | foot |
| cranial | skull |
| facial | face |
| cephalic | head |
| oral | mouth |
| mental | chin |
| axillary | armpit |
| brachial | arm |
| antecubital | forearm |
| carpal | wrist |
| palmar | palm |
| pollex | thumb |
| digits (phalanges) | fingers and toes |
| patellar | kneecap |
| crural | leg |
| tarsal | ankle |
| hallux | great toe (big toe) |
| acromial | shoulder |
| dorsal | back |
| olecranal | back of elbow |
| lumbar | loin |
| gluteal | buttock |
| popliteal | back of knee |
| sural | calf |
| calcaneal | heel of foot |
| plantar | sole of foot |
| anatomical directions | allow you to describe the spatial relationship between different regions of the body. Ex: the head is superior to (above) the neck |
| above | superior (cranial, rostral) |
| below | inferior (caudal) |
| in front of | anterior (ventral) |
| behind | posterior (dorsal) |
| closer to the midline | medial |
| further from the midline | lateral |
| closer to the surface | superficial |
| further from the surface | deep |
| closer to attachments site (only for arms and legs) | proximal |
| further from attachment site (only for arms and legs) | distal |
| 2 major ventral body cavities (coelem). They are separated by the diaphragm | thoracic and abdominopelvic |
| one large serous membrane surrounds most organs of the abdominopelvic cavity | peritoneum |
