Anatomy Midterm
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Axial | Axial portion of the body consists of the head, neck, and torso or trunk. *Note that the torso is composed of thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic. |
| Appendicular | The upper and lower extremities *upper- shoulder, arms, foorearm, wrist. *lower- hip, thigh, leg, ankle, and foot. |
| Anatomical Direction set 1 | Superior—toward the head, upper, above Inferior—toward the feet, lower, Anterior—front, in front of Posterior—back, in back of Medial—toward the midline of a structure Lateral—away from the midline or toward the side of a structure |
| Anatomical directions set 2 | Proximal—toward or nearest the trunk, or nearest the point of origin of a structure Distal—away from or farthest from the trunk, or farthest from a structure’s point of origin Superficial—nearer the body surface Deep—farther away from the body surfa |
| Three basic type of Chemical Reaction | 1. Synthesis - builds up. forms new chemical bonds. (Ex: wound repair) 2. Decomposition - Breaks down, breaks chemical bonds., energy is releases. (Ex: heat) 3. Exchange - two different components, to form two new products. ( Ex: AB+ CD --> AD + CB) |
| pH scale | pH - The power of hydrogen. the H+ ions of a solution. From a scale of 1 to 14. -pH of 7 - neutrality (equal amounts of H and OH) Less than 7 - acidity (more H than OH) Greater than 7 - alkalinity (more OH than H) |
| Major elements of the body | carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. (almost always share electrons to form covalent bonds) |
| Octet Rule | Atoms with fewer than eight electrons in the outer energy level will attempt to lose, gain, or share electrons with other atoms to achieve stability. *expect for atoms that are limited to a single energy level) |
| Carbon Atoms | made up of six positively charged protons (p) and six uncharged neutrons. |
| Nucleus | atoms are divisible into even smaller or subatomic particles, some of which exist in a “cloud” surrounding a dense central core . |
| What are the main Cell Structures? | 1. the plasma membrane - the outer boundry of the cell. Composed of phospholipids, cholestrol, glycoproteins. 2. cytoplasm, (and the organelles) ; gel - like substance. 3. the nucleus - largest; " the command center", contains genetic material. |
| Phospholipid Bilayer | Strcuter of a cell membrane, double layer. -Heads are hydrophilic (“water loving”) -Tails are hydrophobic (“water fearing”) -They arrange themselves in bilayers in w |
| Types of tissue: | Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Muscle tissue, Nervous tissue |
| Two primary layers of the skin | Epidermis- the superfical, thinner layer. Dermis - the deep, thicker layer. Ben |
| Skin glands | Sebaceous glands and Ceruminous glands Sweat Glands: Eccrine glands and Apocrine glands |
