Body Cavities & membranes
The cavity that contains the brain.
cranial
The four major tissue types are epithelial, connective, muscle, and _____.
epithelial, nervous, muscular, and connective
The nose is _____ to the ears.
medial
The anatomical term for the armpit region.
axillary
The skull surrounding the brain demonstrates this major function of the skeletal system.
protection
The femur is classified as this type of bone based on its shape.
long
The heart is located within this major body cavity
thoracic
This tissue type covers surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands.
epithelial tissue
The elbow is _____ to the wrist.
proximal
The antecubital region is located here
front of the elbow
or
anterior sider of the elbow
This part of the bone is responsible for blood cell production
bone marrow
The bones of the wrist are this type of bone, whose shape provides stability while allowing small movements.
short
The membrane directly covering the surface of the lungs is the _____ pleura.
visceral
Blood is classified as this major type of tissue.
connective
The skin is _____ to the skeletal muscles
superficial
A patient has pain in the popliteal region. Where is the pain?
back of the knee
or
dorsal side of the knee
or
posterior side of the knee
Calcium levels in the blood begin to decrease. The skeleton can release stored calcium into the bloodstream, demonstrating this function.
mineral storage/release
The broad, thin shape of these bones provides protection and large surfaces for muscle attachment. The skull and sternum are examples.
flat
This membrane lines body passages that open to the outside, such as the digestive and respiratory tracts.
mucosa membrane
This epithelial tissue consists of many layers of flattened cells and is found in areas that need protection from friction and abrasion.
stratified squamous
The thumb is _____ to the little finger in anatomical position.
lateral
A patient injures the right carpal region and the left crural region. Identify both locations.
right wrist
left shin
When you bend your elbow to lift a backpack, muscles pull on bones, causing your arm to change position. This demonstrates this skeletal function.
movement/leverage
Vertebrae have complex shapes that provide protection for nervous tissue and multiple sites for muscle attachment. They belong to this bone type
irregular
This central region of the thoracic cavity lies between the lungs and contains the heart, trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels.
mediastinum
This type of dense connective tissue forms two structures: one connects muscle to bone, while the other connects bone to bone. Name both structures.
tendons and ligaments
A wound is described as lateral to the sternum, inferior to the clavicle, and superior to the abdomen. In what general body region is the wound located?
thoracic region
or
pectoral
A patient reports pain in the right lumbar region, tenderness in the umbilical region, and bruising in the left inguinal region. Identify all three locations on the body.
right lower back
navel (belly button)
groin
Without the skeletal system, the body would collapse and be unable to maintain its upright shape. Which skeletal function is being demonstrated?
support
This sesamoid bone develops within a tendon and helps protect the tendon while improving the mechanical advantage of the muscles that extend the knee.
patella
