Intro to Anatomy
Describe the position of a mole on your right ankle using anatomical terminology.
The mole is distal to the knee. The mole is a superficial feature that is proximal to the right toes. [Others may apply...]
What is "tissue?"
Correct order of layers from superficial to deep.
What is epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis?
Bone that is considered to have an "irregular" shape.
What is a vertebrae?
Lobe responsible for vision.
What is the occipital lobe?
The type of plane that would result if you sliced someone between the eyes and directly downward.
What is median/midsagittal plane?
The four major categories of tissue in the human body.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue?
Spider shaped cells that produce a substance that can protect the skin from UV radiation.
What are melanocytes?
Children with rickets are lacking this mineral substance that usually gives bones their durability.
Calcium OR hydroxyapatite
Lobe responsible for making decisions and executive functioning.
What is the frontal lobe?
The deepest membrane of those listed here.
a. parietal serosa c. visceral serosa
b. serous fluid
What is the visceral serosa?
The type of epithelial tissue that can stretch and is found in your bladder.
What is transitional epithelial tissue?
Layer of epidermis 20-30 cells deep that is regularly shed from the body.
What is the stratum corneum?
"Little beams" that make up spongy bone.
What are trabeculae?
Part of brain that sits right above the spinal cord and is responsible for involuntary activities.
What is the brain stem?
The state of dynamic stability in the human body (with regards to pH, temperature, blood calcium levels, etc)
What is homeostasis?
Type of connective tissue with a calcified and hard ground substance.
What is bone?
Layer of skin that contains all your blood vessels, nerves, and glands.
What is the dermis?
Location of bone growth near end of long bone.
What is the epiphyseal plate?
Part of brain that relays info from PNS to the cerebrum for processing/sorting.
What is the thalamus?
The ventral cavity contains these three sub cavities.
What are the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities?
The type of tissue that contain goblet cells for secreting mucous.
What is columnar epithelial tissue?
Dermal papillae is responsible for creating this feature.
What are fingerprints?
Red blood cells are formed here.
What is the medullary cavity?
Name of the condition Lorenzo had (full word required) AND a description of what causes the issue.
What is adrenoleukodystrophy?
Condition in which there is not enough of a certain enzyme to break down very long chain saturated fatty acids, which results in the build up on these fats in the brain, negatively affecting the myelin sheath of the brain neuron's axons. This results in brain degeneration over time.
