Anatomy Weeks 1-5

TermDefinition
Primary anatomical reference position. Body erect with arms at sides and palms forward. Head and feet facing forward
Supine and Prone Supine - Body laying face up Prone - Body laying face down
Sagittal Plane Cuts through the middle between the eyes (separates left and right)
Frontal (Coronal) Plane Cuts from the middle of the side (separates front to back)
Transverse Plane Cuts at the umbilical (separates top to bottom)
Dorsal Cavity (back space) Cranial and spinal (vertebral) cavities
Ventral Cavity (front space) -Thoracic cavity: (ABOVE DIAPHRAGM) Heart, lungs, trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels -Abdominopelvic cavity: (BELOW THE DIAPHRAGM) Digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems
Abdominal Cavity Stomach, intestines, liver, spleen etc.
Pelvic Cavity Bladder, reproductive organs, rectum
Pleural Cavity Surrounds a lung
Mediastinum Contains the heart within pericardial cavity
Parietal Layer vs Visceral Layer Parietal Layer - Covers inside wall of cavity Visceral Layer - Covers internal organs
Abdominopelvic Regions Upper - Right hypochondriac region, epigastric region, left hypochondriac region Middle - Right lumbar region, umbilical region, and left lumbar region Lower - Right iliac (inguinal) region, hypogastric region, and left iliac (inguinal) region
Abdominal Quadrants LUQ, RUQ, LLQ, RLQ
Axial vs Appendicular Axial - Central body ( head, neck, trunk, torso) Appendicular - Extremities (arms and legs)
Matter Anything that ha mass and occupies space
Elements Simple form of matter. Cannot be broken down (26 elements in the human body)
Compound Atoms of two or more elements joined to form chemical combinations
Cloud model Nucleus surrounded by electron cloud
Subatomic Particles Protons - Positive particles in nucleus Neutrons - Neutral particles in nucleus Electrons - Negative particles in the cloud
Atomic Mass Number of protons in nucleus
Mass Number Equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Plasma Membrane vs Cytoplasm Plasma Membrane - Outer boundary of cell (separates cell from outside) Cytoplasm - Thick gel like substance inside of cell
Membranous vs Non-membranous Organelles Membranous - Sacs or canals made of cell membranes Non Membranous - Made of microscopic filaments or other non-membranous materials
Organelles Part 1 Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth & rough) - Moves proteins through canals Ribosomes - Prepare proteins for export Golgi Apparatus - Final processing of proteins to be excreted out Lysosomes - Digestive system of cell (eats unneeded & defective parts)
Organelles Part 2 Proteasomes - Hollow protein cylinders that break down abnormal or misfolded proteins no longer needed in the cell Peroxisomes - Small sacs with enzymes that detoxify harmful substances (in kidneys & livers) Mitochondria - "Power house" of cell
Extracellular Matrix (ECM)? fluid environment of the body—a complex, nonliving material found between cells in a tissue.
Collagen forms: 1) Collagenous fibers – strong, flexible “ropes” of collagen. 2) Reticular fibers – thin collagen (type III) fibers forming a delicate 3D network. 3) Basal lamina – flat collagen (type IV) framework forming part of the basement membrane.
Elastin Forms stretchy elastic fibers that give tissues the ability to recoil.
Glycoproteins Proteins with a few carbohydrate attachments.
Fibronectin and Laminin connect ECM components to cells by binding to integrins in plasma membranes
Epithelial and Connective tissues. greatest ability to regenerate
Epithelial Tissues -Form membranes that contain and protect the internal fluid environment. -Absorb nutrients. -Secrete products that regulate functions involved in homeostasis.
Connective Tissues -Hold organs and systems together. -Form structures that support the body and permit movement
Bone Types -Long Bones: cylinder (femur, humerus, tibia, etc) -Short Bones: Boxlike (carpals, tarsals) -Flat Bones: Broad & Sheetlike (Skull, sternum, ribs, scapula) -Irregular Bones: Complex shape (vertebrae, facial bones, sphenoid) -Sesamoid: Seadlike, patella
Origin vs Insertion Origin -Point of attachment does NOT move with contraction Insertion - Point of attachment that moves with contraction
Connective Tissue Components 1. Endomysium— delicate connective tissue membrane that covers skeletal muscle fibers 2. Perimysium— tough connective tissue binding together fascicles 3. Epimysium— coarse sheath covering the muscle as a whole

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
