Anatomy Fundamentals (PREMATRIC)

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
show 1. Coronal (Frontal) Plane 2. Axial (Transverse) Plane 3. Sagittal Plane  
🗑
show Divides body into anterior (or ventral) and posterior (or dorsal) parts.  
🗑
Axial (Transverse) Plane   show
🗑
Sagittal Plane   show
🗑
show closer to the torso or closer to the beginning of a system  
🗑
Distal   show
🗑
Superficial   show
🗑
show farther from the surface of the body part of organ; farther from the start of a dissection  
🗑
show somewhere between superficial and deep  
🗑
Fascia   show
🗑
show the building blocks of skin; contains varying amounts of adipose tissue.  
🗑
Deep Fascia   show
🗑
Clinical Note: Compartment syndrome   show
🗑
show 1. skull 2. spinal column 3. ribs and sternum 4. hyoid bone  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   show
🗑
show two types of circulation: 1. Pulmonary circulation 2. Systemic circulation  
🗑
show blood that undergoes exchange passes thru one set of capillaries before returning to the heart.  
🗑
show Before or after exchange in a capillary bed, the blood may carry special substances or may need to be processed further before returning to the heart.  
🗑
show carry blood away from the heart (to the organs)  
🗑
show Carry blood towards the heart  
🗑
show deoxygenated blood  
🗑
Pulmonary veins & Systemic arteries carry...   show
🗑
Elastic arteries (conducting arteries)   show
🗑
show -maintain tonus & regulate flow of blood to large tissue masses. -They branch off into arterioles.  
🗑
show -control the microcirculation to the exchange vessels, the capillaries and postcapillary venules.  
🗑
Two Variations in Systemic Circulation   show
🗑
Nephron circulation   show
🗑
show consists of true capillary beds (having arterial and venous sides) connected to beds of venous capillaries called sinusoids via portal vessels.  
🗑
show blood is conveyed BACK TO THE HEART via capacitance or reservoir vessels as either deoxy (venae cavae to the 'right heart') or oxy (pulm veins to 'left heart') blood.  
🗑
show the prescence of valves to assist return of blood to the heart. the valves are formed by one to three opposing semilunar leaflets & appear as dilation along veins of the neck & limbs.  
🗑
Deep veins   show
🗑
Musculovenous Pump   show
🗑
show swollen, twisted, and sometimes painful veins that have filled with an abnormal collection of blood. caused by valvular incompetence which can occur by inflammatory destruction or deep fascial degeneration, causing them to gap.  
🗑
Thrombophlebitis   show
🗑
Pulmonary embolism   show
🗑
Venous Thromboembolism   show
🗑
Deep veins that lack valves...   show
🗑
show passive dorsiflexion of the foot. (a test for DVT's which is falling out of favor due to emoblic risks.)  
🗑
show superficial veins will collapse when injured, however, large veins (like the internal jugular) will remain patent after injury b/c they are tethered to deep fascia. this can lead to fatal 'sucking' air embolism.  
🗑
Vascular Patterns (Homologous Connections)   show
🗑
Anastomosis   show
🗑
show two blood vessels from different anatomical sources from a blunt union  
🗑
transversal anastomosis   show
🗑
convergence anastomosis   show
🗑
show veins that course w/ and surround medium-sized arteries and are bound in the same vascular sheath. As the artery pulses, the valve-oriented blood in the Acc Veins is squeezed toward the heart.  
🗑
Angiosome   show
🗑
show when an anastomosis is inadequate if sudden blockage occurs. (some anastomosis are insufficient to prevent ischemia w/ blockage of one artery. ex: coronary arteries)  
🗑
anatomical end-arteries   show
🗑
show made up of A. Primary lymphoid organs B. Secondary lymphoid organs & tissues  
🗑
show Production of lymphocytes -thymus gland -red bone marrow  
🗑
Secondary lymphoid organs & tissues   show
🗑
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) -   show
🗑
show -lymphatic capillaries -afferent lymphatic vessels (to the lymph node) -efferent lymphatic vessels (leave a lymph node) -lymphatic trunks -lymphatic ducts  
🗑
show 1. right lymphovenous portal (right lymphatic ducts): drains lower half of body, left side of head and left extremity. 2. left lymphovenous portal (thoracic duct): drains above the diaphragm on the right, straight up thru the head and the right extremity  
🗑
Lymphatic Capillaries   show
🗑
Interstitial Fluid   show
🗑
show localized fluid retention and tissue swelling (edema) caused by a compromised lymphatic system (lymphatic capillaries)  
🗑
Movement of lymph into lymphatic vessels is assisted by numerous valves and is the result of:   show
🗑
show 1. only in tissues with a blood supply (absent in non-vascular tissues) 2. BUT not always found in tissues WITH a blood supply (not found in the thymus, eye, CNS, PNS, bone marrow)  
🗑
Lymphovenous Portals   show
🗑
show (right lymphatic duct): accepts the right subclavian, jugular & bronchomediastinal trunks. -Drainage territory is the right half of the body above the diaphragm.*  
🗑
show (Thoracic duct): commences near the diaphragm at the aortic hiatus, accept the R & L lumbar trunks & 2-3 intestinal trunks. -Drainage territory is the rest of the body (minus the right half above the diaphragm).*  
🗑
show Lymphadenopathy  
🗑
Lymphogenous metastatis of cancer   show
🗑
show node with highest probability to be first destination that cancer cells from a tumor will drain into.  
🗑
Signal node   show
🗑
Lymphadenitis   show
🗑
Organization of Nervous System   show
🗑
Central Nervous System (CNS)   show
🗑
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)   show
🗑
Organization of Matter in Spinal Cord   show
🗑
Spinal Nerves   show
🗑
Dorsal & Ventral Roots   show
🗑
show anatomical unit of the nervous system consisting of a cell body, dendrites, & an axon. (classified as being multipolar, bipolar and unipolar.)  
🗑
show 1. Motor (efferent) 2. Sensory (afferent)  
🗑
show 1. multipolar & carries info AWAY from CNS 2. Cell bodies of somatic motor neurons located in nuclei within ventral horn of spinal cord 3. stimulate contraction of skeletal muscle (motor unit: single motor neuron & all the muscle cells it innervates)  
🗑
Sensory Neurons (afferent)   show
🗑
types of Nerve Fibers   show
🗑
show -branches of spinal nerves are mixed fibers. -At the start, a spinal nerve divides into a dorsal ramus and a larger ventral ramus. The dorsal and ventral rami have somewhat specific regions of innervation.  
🗑
Territories of Innervation   show
🗑
show -31 pairs of spinal nerves: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 1* coccygeal (4 fused bones). -almost all these nerves occupy intervertebral (neural) foramen btw 2 vertebrae.  
🗑
How Spinal nerves are named   show
🗑
Dermatome   show
🗑
show The mass of muscle innervated with a high component of a single spinal nerve.  
🗑
  show
🗑
