Anatomy Fundamentals Flashcards
(152 cards)
Stem cells can …
differentiate into (i.e.
become) any cell in the body.
Describe the following anatomical position?
Supine = laying on back (spine) with face and abdoman upwards.
Describe the following anatomical position?
Pr(on)e. (on) stomach, chest down and back upwards.
Describe this directional terminology.
Anterior = Ventral. The front surface of the body. Toward the front. (Ventriloquist - stomach talker and if you point to your stomach you are pointing to the front of your body)
What are the three anatomical planes?
S.C.T
1. Sagittal Plane
2. Coronal Plane
3. Transverse Plane
Describe this directional terminology.
*Edit image
Posterior = Dorsal. The back part of the body (Dorsial fin)
What is the Anatomical Position?
Standing upright
Head and eyes straight ahead
Palms facing forwards
Thumbs pointing away from body
Lower limbs together
Upper limbs slightly away from body
What are Body planes?
Imaginary lines drawn through an upright body
Divide the body into different sections
What are the 3 main body planes and sections? (show them on body)
S - sagittal (vertical)
C - coronal (vertical)
T - traverse (horizotal)
Explain and show the Saggital plane
Vertical line
Runs from top to bottom
Divides the body into a left and a right section
Explain the Midsagittal plane
Runs through the exact midline of the body
Divides the body into equal portions
Also known as Median plane
Runs right down the middle of the body
Re: S.C.T view
How does the Transverse Plane divide the body?
Divides the body into the top and bottom
view of the body
(Magician)(axial/horizontal)
What view do you look at through the cut of the saggital plane?
Sagittal (s) = side view (s)
When you make a cut through the sagittal plane you are looking at the side view of the body
(S.C.T) - Explain the Coronal Plane
Coronal > Frontal Plane
Imaginary line runs from top to bottom and left to right
It divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior)
Frontal (f) = Front (f) view of the body
What is the Abduction movement?
Movement of the joint (arm) away from the midline of the body
(Alien abducting arm away)
What is Adduction?
Movement towards the midline (adding to the size of body)
Describe superior directional terminology
Refers to an elevated position
What is a body cavity?
A space of compartment in the body that houses organs and structures
What are the 2 main cavities in the body?
* Edit
Dorsal (= Posterior)
Ventrical (= Anterior)
Dorsal cavity is loacted in the …. of the body?
Back
The Ventral cavity is located in the …. or ….. of the body *add image
Front or Anterior
What are the 2 main parts of the dorsal cavity?
Cranial
Spinal
Describe the position of the Cranial cavity
Location: superior dorsal cavity
Medial Line
Closer to midline and cuts the body in half
