26
What is a segement of a limb?
It is a region between one joint and the next
27
What does viscera mean?
The organs contained in the body cavities, such as the brain, heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, & kidneys.
28
What is the visceral?
(Pertaining to viscera) The inner or deeper layer of a two-layered memrane such as the pleura, oericardium, or glomerular capsule.
29
What is the relationship between the cranial cavity and the vertebral canal?
They are continuous
30
What does the cranial cavity house?
the brain
31
What does the vertebral canal house?
the spinal cord
32
What are the cranial cavity and vertebral canal lined by?
three membrane layers called the meninges
33
What two cavities does the trunk of the body contain and what are they lined by?
- Thoracic Cavity - Abdominopelvic Cavity - thin serous membranes
34
What is a serous membrane?
a membrane such as the peritoneum, pleura, or pericardium that line a body cavity or covers the external surfaces of the viscera
35
What is another name for a serous membrane?
a serosa
36
What are serous membranes composed of?
Composed of simple squamos mesothelium and a thin layer of areolar connective tissue
37
What is the thoracic cavity divided by?
a thick median wall called the mediastinum
38
What is the mediastium?
The thick median partition of the thoracic cavity that separates one pleural cavity from the other and contains the heart, great blood vessels, espohagus, trachea, bronchi, and thymus.
39
What forms the surface of the heart?
the innner layer of the pericardium forms the surface of the heart itself and is called the visceral layer
40
What is the heart enfolded by?
a two kayer membrane called the pericardium
41
What is the outer layer of the pericardium called?
the parietal layer
42
What are the two layers of the pericardium seperated by?
the two layers are seperated by the pericardial cavity which is lubricated by pericardial fluid.
43
What is the function of the pericardial cavity?
this soace allows the heart freedom of mevement during its contraction and relaxation
44
What is peritonitis?
inflammation of the peritoneum
45
Define lumen
the internal space of a hollow organ such as a blood vessel or the esophagus, or a space surrounded by secretory cells as in a gland acinus.
46
What is the lesser omentum?
- An anterior mesentery - Smaller than the greater omentum - extends frim the superomedial margin of the stomch and liver
47
What two names is the visceral peritoneum also called?
It is also called a serosa (serous membrane) and a mesentery
48
When is the visceral peritoneum considered a mesentery?
at points where it forms a translucent, membranous curtain suspending & anchoring the viscera.
49
When is the visceral peritoneum called a serosa (serous membrane)?
at points where it enfolds and covers the outer surfaces of organs such as the stomach and small intestine.
50
What is a mesentery?
A serous membrane that binds the intestines together and suspends them from the abdominal wall; the visceral continuation of the peritoneum.
51
What is the greater omentum?
The most significant anterior mesentery that hangs like an apron from the inferiolateral margin of the stomach, overlies the intetines, is unattached at its inferior border, and can be lifted to reveal the intestines.
52
What is the posterior mesentery called?
the mesocolon
53
Where are the intestines suspended and by what?
the inestines are suspended from the posterior (dorsal) abdominal wall by the posterior mesentery (mesocolon)
54
55
What happens to the posterior mesentery in some places after wrapping around the intestines or other viscera?
The posterior mesentery connues towards the anterior body wall as the anterior mesentery.
56
What is cardiac Tamponade?
When the pericardial sac has little room to expand, so the accumulating fluid puts pressure on the heart, squeezing it and preventing it from refilling between beats.
57
What is the visceral pleura?
External surface of the lung
58
What is the parietal pleura?
lines the inside of the rib cage
59
What is the narrow space between the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura called?
It is called the pleural cavity and is filled with pleural fluid
60
What two cavities comprise the abdominopelvic cavity?
- abdominal cavity - pelvic cavity
61
What viscera lie in the abdominal cavity?
- most of the digestive organs - spleen - kindney - ureters
62
What viscera lie in the pevic cavity?
- rectum - urinary - bladder - urethra - reproductive organs
63
What is on the lateral sides of the thoracic cavity?
the lungs
64
65
What is the serous mebrane of the abdominopelvic cavity called?
peritoneum
66
What is the outerlayer of the peritoneum that lines the cavity wall called?
Parietal layer
67
What happens to the parietal peritoneum along the posterior midline?
it turns inward and becomes a different layer, the visceral peritoneum
68
What is the function of the visceral peritoneum?
Suspends certain abdominal viscera from the body wall, covering their outer surfaces, and holding them in place
69
What is the space between the visceral peritoneum and parietal peritoneum called?
-peritoneal cavity peritoneal fluid
70
What is retroperitoneal position?
organs of the abdominal cavity that lie against the posterior body wall and are covered by peritoneum only on the sude facing the peritoneal cavity
71
Which viscera are in retroperitoneal position?
the kidneys, ureters, adreneal glands, most of the pancreas, and absdominal portions of the two major blood vessels - the aorta and inferior vena cava.
72
What is intraperitoneal position?
organs that are encircled by peritoneum and connected to the posterior body wall by peritoneal sheets.
