1.1 + 1.2
A CT scan in this plane divides the body into superior and inferior sections.
What is the transverse plane?
This ligament fills the space in the cervical vertebrae and supports the neck.
What is the ligamentum nuchae?
A collection of neurons in the peripheral nervous system is called this.
What is a ganglion?
This part of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for increasing heart rate during stress.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
Ribs articulate with thoracic vertebrae via these specific facets.
What are costal facets/surfaces?
These glands secrete sebum via the holocrine method.
What are sebaceous glands?
This excessive curvature of the thoracic spine is common in elderly individuals with osteoporosis.
What is kyphosis?
This fluid is not found in the epidural space but is present in the subarachnoid space.
What is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)?
This part of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, reducing heart rate and stimulating digestion.
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
Hernias are more likely to occur below this line due to lack of posterior support.
What is the arcuate line?
This type of tissue maintains the form of the body, provides internal support, and includes examples such as blood, bone, and cartilage.
What is connective tissue?
The latissimus dorsi receives its blood supply from this artery.
What is the thoracodorsal artery?
During a lumbar puncture, cerebrospinal fluid is drawn from this space.
What is the subarachnoid space?
This structure acts as the "on-ramp" for preganglionic fibers entering the sympathetic trunk.
What is the white ramus communicans?
Three Arterial Sources of the female breast
What is the:
1. Internal thoracic artery
2. Pectoral branch of thoracoacromial artery
3. Lateral thoracic artery
These microscopic structures increase surface area for absorption and secretion in epithelial cells.
What are microvilli?
This component of the vertebral arch connects the vertebral body to the transverse process and contributes to the formation of the vertebral foramen.
What is the pedicle?
What type of neurons connect sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord.
What are interneurons?
Preganglionic parasympathetic neuron cell bodies are located in these regions of the nervous system.
What are the cranial and sacral regions?
During chest tube insertion, the tube passes through these intercostal muscle layers.
What are external intercostal, internal intercostal, and innermost intercostal?
This type of epithelium allows the bladder to stretch as it fills.
What is transitional epithelium?
This muscle, innervated by the dorsal scapular nerve, elevates the scapula and assists in its downward rotation.
What is the levator scapulae?
ALS affects motor neurons located in this part of the spinal cord.
What is the ventral horn?
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers bypass the sympathetic trunk and travel via these nerves to synapse in collateral ganglia.
What are splanchnic nerves?
Weakness of this muscle, innervated by the long thoracic nerve, causes a winging scapula.
What is the serratus anterior?
