A list of human anatomy terms and structures, including their positions, functions, and relationships to each other. Topics covered include the skeletal system, meninges, thoracic and abdominal cavities, and microscope components. Students will find definitions of terms such as prone, supine, brachium, antebrachium, carpus, and digits, as well as structures like the mediastinum, thoracic cavity, pericardial cavity, and peritoneum.
Typology: Exams
1 / 8
prone - lying on belly supine - lying on back brachium - shoulder to elbow antebrachium - elbow to wrist carpus - wrist manus - hand digits - fingers/toes crus - knee to ankle tarsus - ankle
pes - foot meninges - layers of tissue that help protect delicate structures in dorsal cavity mediastinum - contains heart, attached vessels, esophagus, thymus and trachea thoracic cavity - left/right pleural cavities+mediastinum parietal pleurae - lining of pleural cavity visceral pleurae - lining of lung pleural fluid - fluid in potential space of pleural cavity pericardial cavity - surrounds heart parietal pericardium - lines pericardial cavity visceral pericardium -
lines heart peritoneum - 2 layers that line abdominal cavity & organs peritoneal fluid - fluid that fills potential space of abdominal cavity retroperitoneal - peritoneum on anterior side only lamp - light source of light microscope stage - hold specimen on microscope nose piece - contains objectives scanning objective - locates objects at 4X medium/ocular objective - specimen is viewed in greater detail at 10X maximum magnification on light microscope - 40x
components of focus knob - fine/course adjustment magnification of eyepiece - 15X cheek cell - squamous cell Mechanical stage control - Move stage or slide around Anatomical position - Looking at body erect, feet up floor arms at side and face and eyes facing forward. Palms forward Diaphram - Adjust the amount of light Max magnification - Eye piece and objectives 15x10= Vertebral cavity - Encloses spine Sagittal plane - Divide body by left and right Parasagittal plane - Unequal left and right halves
Frontal plane - Coronal plane, front and back halves Anterior - Towards the front or belly, ventral Posterior - Towards the back or spinal cord, dorsal Transverse plane - Upper lower parts divided at waist Superior - Anything above or towards head Inferior - Below certain object or towards feet Medial - Closer to bodies midline, vertical Lateral - Further away from midline Proximal - Describing something closer to a point of attachment Distal -
Something further away from the point of attachment Superficial - Closer to body surface Deep - Further from body surface Axial region - Head neck and trunk waist up Trunk - Thoracic above diaphragm Abdominal - Anything below the level of the diaphragm including upper left and right quadrant and lower left and rightquadrant Thigh - Top of leg Tooney Appendicular region - Upper and lower limbs Cranial cavity - Encloses brain Ventral cavity - Enclose a spinal cavity
Dorsal cavity - Three layers of delicate tissued called meninges protect and line the brain and spinal cord Pleural cavities - In the thoracic cavity, contain or surround the lungs, line by two layer membrane called Cora/pleura Thoracic cavity - Three portions called left right and mediastinum -itis - inflammation of Pleura cavity - Potential space in between parietal and visceral cavity in plural cavity pleurisy - inflammation of the pleura Mediastinum - Contain Heart and vessels that attach to it, esophagus, trachea, time is Glenn Pericardial cavity - Smaller area that surrounds the heart Pericardium - Two layer membrane in the pericardial cavity
Pericarditis - Inflammation of the pericardium Abdominalopelvic cavity - Second subdivision of ventral body cavity Abdominal - Anything above brim of pelvis. Digestive organs, kidneys, ureter Pelvic cavity - Anything below the brim of the pelvis, Distol all part of largeIntestine, bladder, urethra, reproductive organs Parietal peritoneum - Line the abdominal cavity Visceral peritoneum - Cover surface of internal organs Retroperitoneal - Located between peritoneal in dorsal body cavity. Only anterior surface of these organs are covered by the peritoneal. Kidneys, part of pancreas, some of digestive organs, adrenal glands
