A&P I_Lecture Exam 1

Bio 168 Ch 1-4: Anatomical terms, planes, directions, cell, osmosis, diffusion

QuestionAnswer
Anatomy Describes the structures of the body
Physiology Study of function
Gross (macroscopic) anatomy Types Surface anatomy Regional anatomy Sectional anatomy Systemic anatomy Clinical anatomy Developmental anatomy
Regional anatomy body areas
Systemic anatomy organ systems
Clinical anatomy medical specialities
Microscopic anatomy + 2 Types study of structures we cannot see without magnification - Cytology - Histology
Cytology study of a cell
Histology study of tissue
Symptoms subjective, reported by patient tired, headache, cough
Signs objective, measured, observed, reported by clinician SOB, edema, hypertension
Scientific Method Diagnosis by evaluating observations - Observation - Hypothesis (educated guess) - Experiment, collect qualitative and quantitative data - Analysis of data - Conclusion about hypothesis - Reproduce the experiment
6 Levels of Body Organization Chemical - atoms Cellular Tissue Organ Organ System Organism
Eponym Person's name, not medical term "Fallopian Tube"
Teminologia Anatomica medical term
Surface anatomy Locating structures on or near the body surface that can be seen and used as reference points Anatomical position
Anatomical landmarks Structures that can be felt (palpated)
Anatomical regions Specific areas used for reference purposes
Anatomical directions Closer or further away from a structure or plane
Anatomical positions: anatomical (anterior/posterior, palms forward) Supine (face up) Prone (face down) Lateral Recumbent (lying on side)
Acromial shoulder
Antecubital inside (anterior) elbow
Crural leg
Inguinal thigh
Calcaneal heel
Olecranal backside (posterior) elbow
Sural back (posterior) of lower leg
Abdominopelvic Quadrants RUQ, LUQ RLQ, LLQ
Abdominopelvic Regions Right Hyopchondriac, Epigastric, Left Hypochondriac Right Lumbar, Umbilical , Left Lumbar Right Inguinal, Hypgastric, Left Inguinal
Superior above
Inferior below
Anterior Front
Posterior Back
Medial Middle
Lateral side/away from middle
Intermediate between medial and lateral
Proximal close to reference
Distal far from reference
Superficial external at surface
Deep internal away from surface
Dorsal back
Ventral front
Caudal tail/coccyx bone
3 scans for Sectional Anatomy MRI PET CT
Frontal/Coronal Plane front/back or anterior/posterior
Sagittal (2) Sagittal = divides right and left Midsagittal = divides EQUALLY right and left Parasagittal = divides UNEVENLY right and left
Transverse up/down or superior/inferior
Oblique diagonal
Longitudinal longways
Cross-section chop off one end
3 MAJOR cavity regions Thoracic Abdominal Pelvic
Abdominopelvic cavity Peritoneum Pelvic
Serosa serous membrane inside organ cavities and covering organs
Dorsal Cavity Cranial cavity + Spinal/Vertebral canal
Ventral Cavity Thoracic, Abdominopelvic cavity
Heart Cavity Pericardial
Lung Cavity Pleural
Behind Sternum Mediastinum great vessels, heart, esophagus, trachea, nerves, thymus, lymph nodes
Diaphragm forms floor divides thoracic and abdominal cavities
Retroperitoneal Cavity behind peritoneal cavity Kidneys, Ureters, Pancreas, Duodenum
Pelvic Cavity pelvic brim to pelvic floor repro organs, bladder, rectum
Peritoneal Cavity ventral body cavity stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder
Serosa membrane touching organ Visceral
Serosa membrane lining cavity Parietal
Serosa membrane around heart Pericardium
Serosa membrane around lungs Pleura
Serosa membrane around abdomen Peritoneum
False Pelvis aka Greater pelvis on top
True pelvis middle of pelvis/hips
Lesser Pelvis pelvic floor
Homeostasis The existence of a stable internal environment despite unpredictable surroundings
2 types of Homeostatic regulation - Autoregulation at cell and tissue level (fix the house) - Extrinsic regulation by nervous and endocrine systems (fix the city)
3 Homeostatic Mechanisms Receptor Control Center Effector
Receptor Receives stimulus or detects change in the environment - Thermometer
Control Center Processes the receptor’s information, then decides based on your preferred set point - thermostat turns max heat to 70 degrees
Effector Carries out instructions from CC to restore homeostasis HVAC turns on heat until reaching set point
2 Types of Homeostasis Loops Negative Feedback Response reverses (does the opposite) the original stimulus Ex. Thermoregulation Positive Feedback Initial stimulus produces a response that amplifies the original change in conditions Ex. Labor, childbirth, blood clotting
Dynamic Equilibrium Continual adaptation to changing conditions Failure to maintain balance = disease
