Language of Anatomy
The branch of science that deals with the structure of body parts.
What is Anatomy?
Neurons that conduct signals towards receptors in the CNS.
Neurons that conduct signals from the CNS for Effector organs.
What is afferent neurons?
What is efferent neurons?
In order from most superior to inferior.
The three components of the brainstem.
What is the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata?
The closed loop of vessels carrying blood between the heart and lungs.
What is Pulmonary Circulation?
These are formed when the capillaries rejoin and return blood to the heart.
What is venules?
The process of converting food into usable forms of energy.
What is Bioenergetics?
The two components of the central nervous system.
The part of the Diencephalon responsible for regulating body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure (Homeostasis)
What is the Hypothalamus?
This division of circulation has thick vessel walls and high resistance to blood flow.
What is Systemic Circulation?
The three layers of the heart wall in order from most deep to superficial.
What is the endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium?
Use these terms in a sentence.
Radius
Ulna
Lateral
What is, "the ulna is lateral to the radius."
This is where the start of action potential occurs in a neuron.
What is the axon hillock?
These are the Meninges that protect the spinal cord in order from deep to most superior.
What is the pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater?
Blood enters the right atrium from two large veins.
What is the superior and inferior venae cavae?
The action of venous valves, permitting blood flow toward the heart and preventing the backflow of blood.
What is the skeletal muscle pump?
The plane that divides the body into left and right portions and all the movements that occur in this plane.
What is the sagittal plane?
What is flexion, extension, hyperextension, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, protraction, and retraction?
The part of a neuron responsible for transmitting impulses through the release of neurotransmitters from one neuron to another.
The division of the ANS that releases norepinephrine which excites an effector organ.
Hint: Fight or flight
What is the Sympathetic Nervous System?
What is the Right Atrioventricular Valve?
Highest composition of liquid in the blood.
What is plasma?
The three body systems that are used for protection and movement.
What is the integumentary system, skeletal system, and muscular system?
The part of the spinal cord that contains neurons that carry signals to the CNS from Sensory Neurons.
The part of the spinal cord that contains axons of motor neurons and carries information to effector organs.
What is the Dorsal Root?
What is the Ventral Root?
The division of the ANS that releases acetylcholine and inhibits an effector organ.
What is the Parasympathetic Nervous System?
The three vessels that branch off of the Aorta.
The flow of electrical activity through the heart.
What is the SA node-->Atria-->AV node-->AV bundle-->Left & Right Bundle Branches-->Purkinje fibers-->Ventricles?
