Term
Definition
Anatomy   from Greek: to cute open. Study the structure of things  
🗑
Physiology   from Greek: study of nature. Study of the function of living systems  
🗑
Describe the Anatomical Position   Body erect; head, eyes, toes directed forward; palms directed forward  
🗑
Describe the Median plane   Vertical, front to back in midline  
🗑
Describe the Sagittal plane   Vertical, parallel to median. Divides the body into right and left halves.  
🗑
Describe the Frontal plane   Also called Coronal. Vertical, perpendicular to median. Divides the body into anterior or ventral and posterior or dorsal.  
🗑
Synonym for anterior   ventral  
🗑
Synonym for posterior   dorsal  
🗑
Describe the Horizontal plane   Also called Transverse. Parallel to floor. Divides the body into superior or rostral and inferior or caudal halves.  
🗑
Synonym for superior   rostral  
🗑
Synonym for inferior   caudal  
🗑
Medial   closer to median plane  
🗑
Lateral   further from median plane  
🗑
Superficial   towards surface of body  
🗑
Deep   towards center of body  
🗑
Ipsilateral   on the same side  
🗑
Contralateral   on the opposite side  
🗑
Distal   further from origin or attachment  
🗑
Peripheral   away from the center  
🗑
Proximal   nearer origin or attachment  
🗑
Flexion   Bending in the sagittal plane  
🗑
Extension   straightening in the sagittal plane  
🗑
Adduction   movement toward to midline  
🗑
Abduction   movement away from the midline  
🗑
Protraction   forward movement  
🗑
Retraction   backward movement  
🗑
5 basic elements of Anatomy   Organisms, Organs, Tissues, Cells, Molecules  
🗑
4 types of tissue   Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, Neural  
🗑
Describe squamous tissue   Epithelial. Flat, pressed closely together like a wall. Acts as a barrier (epidermis, urinary bladder)  
🗑
Describe cuboidal tissue   Epithelial. Long cylinders like pipes, good for transportation of fluids, for secretion (sweat glands, salivary glands, liver, stomach)  
🗑
Describe columnar tissue   Epithelial. Long and tall, squished together and easily expanded for absorption (intestinal mucosa)  
🗑
Describe ciliated tissue   Epithelial. Ciliated, or covered in hairs. Can transport such as in the trachea, and also act as sensory such as outer hair cells.  
🗑
Describe the basic elements of connective tissue   1-cells are separated 2-fibers (collagen for strength and elastin for elasticity) 3-ECM, Extracellular matrix. Fuction: support, anchor, connect  
🗑
Seven types of connective tissue   Areolar (attach organs and epithelium), lymphoid (immune system), fibrous (strong), adipose (fat), cartilaginous, osseous (bone), and blood  
🗑
Tendon   a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.  
🗑
Aponeuroses?   Layers of flat broad tendons.  
🗑
Ligament   fibrous connective tissue but joins one bone to another bone  
🗑
Fascia   an areolar connective tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of muscles, etc. Like a plastic wrap holding the contents of a sandwhich together.  
🗑
Cartilage   flexible connective tissue found in joints between bones (rib cage, ear, nose, elbow, knee, ankle, etc.)  
🗑
Osseous tissue--name the 2 basic structural types of bone.   Compact and Spongy or Cancellous  
🗑
Compact bone   forms the outer shell of all bones and also the shaft in long bones.  
🗑
Spongy or Cancellous bone   found at expanded heads of long bones and fills most irregular bones.  
🗑
4 types of bone   Long, short, flat, and irregular  
🗑
Long bones   comprise mostly of compact bone tissue. Marrow in medullary cavity. (legs, fingers, toes)  
🗑
Diaphysis   the shaft of a bone  
🗑
Epiphysis   the ends of a bone  
🗑
Describe short bones   have only a thin layer of compact bone surrounding a spongy interior and a roughly cube like shape (wrists, ankles, knee caps)  
🗑
Describe flat bones   thin and generally curved. Two parallel layers of compact bones sandwich a layer of spongy bone. (cranium, sternum)  
🗑
Describe irregular bones   do not fit into any categories, have irregular shapes (spine, hips)  
🗑
Three types of muscular tissue   Striated (skeletal, voluntary), smooth (internal organs, involuntary), cardiac (involuntary)  
🗑
Origin of a muscle?   the point of attachment to a bone or another muscle, does not move following contraction.  
🗑
Insertion of a muscle?   opposite end from the origin, does move upon contraction  
🗑
Name the two categories of neural tissue.   Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System  
🗑
Name the two parts of the CNS   Brain and spinal cord  
🗑
Name the two parts of the PNS   Cranial nerves and spinal nerves  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
