SCI220-09 Human Anatomy Week 1-7

QuestionAnswer
Study of body structure Anatomy
Study of the function of a living organism. Physiology
Above or toward the head, such as the chest is to the abdomen. superior
Away from the midline of the body, such as ears is to nose and hands are to chest. (W1) Lateral
Toward the front of the body, such as chest is to spine and kneecap is to thigh bone. (W1) Anterior
Closer to the point of attachment to the trunk (used for limbs) Proximal
Further from the surface of the body, more internal such as bone to muscles and heart to rib cage. Deep
Located on the anterior (front) side of the body and consist of thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity. ventral cavity
Located above the diaphragm and contains the heart, lungs, and mediastinum Thoracic Cavity
Located below the diaphragm and subdivided into abdominal and pelvic Abdominopelvic Cavity
Located along the posterior (back) side of the body and protects the cranial cavity and spinal cavity and space that encloses the brain and spinal cord forms one continuous cavity. Dorsal Body Cavity
Located inside the skull and contain the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Cranial Cavity
Runs within the vertebral column such as the spinal cord and surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid and meninges Spinal (Vertebral) Cavity
Anatomy studies the structural changes that occur as one age developmental anatomy
study of the external features of the body that are visible to the naked eye or can be felt through the skin. surface anatomy
Study of the body by specific regions, examining all the structures—muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, organs, etc.—within a particular area of the body. regional anatomy
Study of structural changes in body tissues and organs that are caused by disease. pathological anatomy
posterior cavity posterior cavity
Which organ is not found in the ventral body cavity- heart, spinal cord, liver, or urinary bladder? spinal cord
The ________ system is involved in immunity. lymphatic
A bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. NaCl (table salt) – Sodium gives an electron to chlorine. Ionic Bond
A chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between the outer shells of two atoms Covalent Bond
A weak bond between a hydrogen atom (already bonded to a highly electronegative atom like O, N, or F) and another electronegative atom. Not a true bond like ionic or covalent—more of an attractive force. Hydrogen Bond
The element oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it contains: eight protons.
The water molecule has two distinct ends, each with a partial electrical charge. Because of this structure, water is said to be polar
subatomic particles that carry a charge Protons and electrons
An element that contains the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons isotope.
An atom or molecule that has gained or lost electrons, giving it a net electrical charge ion
Molecules with the same chemical formula but different structures or arrangements of atoms. Isomer
A force that holds atoms together in molecules or compounds. Bond
A force holding two atoms together chemical bond
region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are likely to be found. These shells represent different energy levels, with each shell capable of holding a certain maximum number of electrons. energy shell.
A type of lipid (fat) molecule. Helps stabilize the membrane's structure Cholesterol
Form the basic structure of the cell membrane Phospholipids
Proteins with carbohydrate chains attached. Glycoproteins
Embedded in or attached to the membrane protein
two main layers of the skin Epidermis and Dermis.
the layer beneath the skin called, and made of The hypodermis (subcutaneous layer) — made mostly of adipose (fat) and areolar connective tissue.
tissue makes up the epidermis Stratified squamous epithelium (keratinized).
two types of sweat glands Eccrine (merocrine) and Apocrine glands.
collagen fibers (give flexibility, tensile strength) Organic:
hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate crystals) and other minerals (provide hardness) inorganic
build bone (secrete matrix and promote mineralization) Osteoblasts
mature bone cells, maintain bone tissue Osteocytes
break down (resorb) bone Osteoclasts
(pairs 1–7) attach directly to the sternum via costal cartilage True ribs
(pairs 8–10) attach indirectly (via cartilage of rib above) False ribs
(pairs 11–12) do not attach to the sternum Floating ribs
Humerus Radius and ulna (forearm) Carpals (wrist bones) Metacarpals (hand bones) Phalanges (finger bones) upper limb
Femur Patella Tibia and fibula (lower leg) Tarsals (ankle) Metatarsals (foot) Phalanges (toes) lower limb
typically broader with a wider pelvic inlet, shallower, and has a larger pubic arch angle to facilitate childbirth. female pelvis
How are white blood cells classified? Granulocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils Agranulocytes: lymphocytes, monocytes
Neutrophils multi-lobed nucleus, phagocytize bacteria
Eosinophils bilobed nucleus, combat parasites, involved in allergy
Basophils release histamine/heparin, involved in inflammation
Lymphocytes large nucleus, adaptive immunity
Monocytes kidney-shaped nucleus, differentiate into macrophages
Structure of platelets Small, anucleate cell fragments derived from megakaryocytes; contain granules with clotting factors and enzymes
significance of the Rh factor Rh antigen (D antigen) presence determines positive (+) or negative (−) status; important in blood transfusion compatibility and hemolytic disease of the newborn
arteries of the coronary circulation Left coronary artery (anterior interventricular/left anterior descending branch, circumflex branch), right coronary artery.
veins of the coronary circulation Great cardiac vein, middle cardiac vein, small cardiac vein, coronary sinus.
