The study of body structure
what is anatomy?
runs vertically and divides the body into left and right
what is Sagittal Plane?
The human body is partitioned into two main regions
what is axial & appendicular?
the pleural cavity, pericardial cavity, mediastinum are apart of
what is the thoracic cavity?
Four types of tissues
what is epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous?
examines the structures in a body region
what is regional anatomy?
passes through the body at an angle
what is Oblique Plane?
the head, neck, and trunk are apart of which region
what is axial region?
includes the cranial and vertebral (spinal) cavities.
what is Dorsal Cavity?
Contains relatively fewer cells and protein fibers than dense connective tissue. The protein fibers are sparse and irregularly arranged
What is Loose connective Tissue (Areolar Connective Tissue)?
Mature cartilage cells are called
what is chondrocytes?
Divides the human body into superior and an inferior portion
what is Transverse or Horizontal Plane?
the upper and lower limbs (extremities) are apart of which region
what is appendicular region?
Space between parietal and visceral layers containing serous fluid
what is Pericardial cavity?
Primarily within the blood vessels and the heart. made up of Plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets
What is Fluid connective tissue?
the mature fluid connective cells are called
what is Erythrocytes?
runs vertically and divides the body into left and right directly in the middle
what is Midsagittal plane?
Abdominopelvic regions
what is right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right iliac, hypogastric, left iliac?
Larger than the posterior cavity, Anteriorly placed in the body, Does not completely encase organs in bone, Partitioned into a superior thoracic cavity and inferior abdominopelvic
What is Ventral Cavity?
Protect vital body organs, Store calcium and phosphate, extensively vascularized (can heal fast)
what is Bone Connective Tissue?
without a blood supply
what is Avascular?
divides the skull
what is Sagittal Suture?
Abdominopelvic Quadrants
what is right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, left lower quadrant?
separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity
what is the diapraghm?
striated, involuntary, One or two centrally located nuclei, contain Intercalated discs, has minimal capacity of regeneration, heart
what is Cardiac muscle tissue (myocardium)?
