Exam 1 Prep
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define Anatomy. | The study of the STRUCTURE of body parts, and their relationships to one another. |
| big (what you see, aka gross) | Macroscopic |
| small (cells and tissues) | Microscopic |
| a specific area | Regional |
| a specific system | Systemic |
| Looking | Observation |
| moving | manipulation |
| feeling with hands | palpation |
| listening to sounds | auscultation |
| Define Physiology. | The study of body functions (How it works). |
| Physiology usually concerns events on what level? | cellular or molecular level |
| Form determines what | Function |
| What are the levels of structural organization | Chemical>>Cell>>Tissue>>Organ>>Organ System>>Organism |
| What is the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal condition, regardless of any changes? | Homeostasis |
| What are the steps in keeping homeostasis? | 1. Receptor (detects changes) 2. Control Center (like the brain, directs the response) 3. Effector (carries out the response) |
| Anatomical position | Feet apart, palms forward, facing you |
| Superior | Above |
| Inferior | Below |
| Anterior | Front |
| Posterior | Back |
| Dorsal | Back |
| Ventral | Belly |
| Cranial | Head |
| Caudal | Tail |
| Medial | Inner |
| Intermediate | Middle |
| Lateral | Outer |
| Proximal | Closer |
| Distal | Farther |
| Superficial | External/Above |
| Deep | Internal/Below |
| Median (or Sagittal) Plane | Divides left from right |
| Frontal (or Coronal) Plane | Divides Anterior from Posterior |
| Traverse (or Horizontal) Plane | Divides Superior from Inferior |
| The Dorsal Cavity contains the Central Nervous System which is comprised of which two body cavities? | Cranial Cavity (Brain) and Vertebral Cavity (Spinal Cord) |
| The Ventral Cavity (Viscera) contains two other cavities that each contain 2 sub cavities. Name the two major cavities. | Thoracic Cavity and the Abdominopelvic Cavity |
| What two cavities make up the Thoracic Cavity? | Mediastinum & Pericardial Cavity (Heart and other stuff) and the Pleural Cavity (Lungs) |
| What two cavities make up the Abdominopelvic Cavity? | Abdominal Cavity (digestive organs, kidneys, etc.) and the Pelvic Cavity (urinary bladder, reproductive organs) |
| Serous Membranes line what? | Organs and cavities |
| Parietal serosa lines what? | Cavity walls |
| Visceral serosa lines? | the outside of organs |
| Lubricates and helps organs slide against each other | Serous fluid |
| Pleurisy? | inflamed serosae around lungs |
| What are the abdominopelvic quadrants? | Right Upper, Right Lower, Left Upper, Left Lower |
