Intro to A&P
This is the study of individual organ systems.
Systemic Anatomy
This is any space within the body.
Cavity
Refers to farther away from the point of origin.
Distal
What is the differencce between regeneration and fibrosis?
Regeneration replaces the old/damaged cells with the same type of cells (ex. skin).
Fibrosis replaces the old/damaged cells with collagen.
This membrane is commonly known as skin.
Cutaneous Membrane
What is homeostasis?
Maintenance of the body's relatively stable internal environment.
This quadrant contains most of the stomach.
Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)
This divides a body in to unequal halves.
Parasagittal Plane
This type of cell contains a large amount of lipids.
Adipocyte
This type of membrane lines the joints.
Synovial Membrane
These are the parts of a feedback loop.
Stimulus, Receptor, Control Center, Effector/Response, Return to Set Point/End Point
These spaces are in between the lungs.
Mediastinum & Pericardial Cavity
This term refers to the wrist.
Carpal (ex. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)
This substance is found in skin and makes the tissue resistant to friction.
Keratin
What are the 2 layers of a serous membrane? Describe them.
Visceral Layer - Inner part that covers the organ in the cavity.
This organ system is responsible for immune function and for returning excess tissue fluid to the cardiovascular system.
Lymphatic System
These are the three upper abdominopelvic regions.
Right & Left Hypochondriac Regions, Epigastric Region
What anatomical planes would allow you to view both kidneys?
Frontal & Transverse Planes
What are the main parts of a neuron & what do each do?
Axon - Send out electrical signals
Dendrites - Receive electrical signals
Soma/Cell Body - Contains organelles (ex. nucleus)
This membrane helps trap debris by producing a sticky fluid.
Mucus Membrane/Mucosae
This organ system includes the Pineal gland, Hypothalamus, Pancreas, and Adrenal glands.
Endocrine System
This space includes the urinary bladder and the reproductive organs.
Pelvic Cavity
Describe anatomical position.
Body is standing upright with feet shoulder width apart, upper limbs are at the sides of the trunk, and the head and palms are facing forward.
This feature is unique to cardiac muscle tissue and allows it to work as a unit.
Intercalated Discs
This membrane uses simple squamous epithelium, known as mesothelium, to produce fluid.
Serous Membrane
