25
Bones
Form the skeleton, support the body, and protect vital organs.
26
Long tubular
Named for their elongated shape. Ex: femur and humerus
27
Short or cuboidal
Cube shaped bones found in the carpal bones and tarsal bones
28
Sesamoid
Short bone formed within the tendons, such as patella
29

31
Closed fracture
Doesn't break through the skin
32

33
Comminuted fracture
More than 2 separate bone components
34
Axial skeleton
* Skull * hyoid * ribs * sternum * vertebrae * sacrum
35
Appendicular skeleton
* Shoulder girdle * pelvic girdle * extremities
36
Three type of joints:
* fibrous * cartilaginous * synovial
37
Three types of blood vessels:
* Arteries * veins * capillaries
38
Most Arteries carry:
Oxygenated blood away from the heart.
39
Most veins carry:
Deoxygenated blood back to the heart
40
Capillaries
Tiny vessels
41
The heart is composed of three layers:
Epicardium - outer layer of heart. Myocardium - main muscle. Endocardium - the inner lining.
42
RSCA
Right cubclavian artery
43
RCA
Right carotid artery
44
LCA
Left carotid artery
45
Mucous membranes
Find the interior walls of the organs. Such as those of the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems
46
Serous membranes
Lines cavities including the thoracic cavity and internal organs.
47
Synovial membrane
Line joint cavities and are composed of connective tissue's they secrete synovial fluid into the joint cavity so that bones can move freely
48
Meninges
Composed of three connective tissue membranes found within the dorsal cavity and serve as a protective covering of the brain and spinal cord. Dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater
49
Cutaneous membrane
The skin
50
The five body cavities
1. Cranial cavity 2. Spinal cavity 3. Thoracic cavity 4. Abdominal cavity 5. Pelvic cavity
51
The epidermis is composed of 4 to 5 layers
1. Stratum corneum- outer most layer 2. Stratum lucidum- clear layer 3. Stratum granulosum- granular layer of cells 4. Stratum spinosum- composed of prickle cells 5. Stratum basale- deepest of 5 layers, made of basal cells
52
The dermis is located just under the epidermis. It has two layers of Stratum.
Stratum papillare- thin superficial layer interlocked with the epidermis. 2. Stratum reticulare- thick layer of dense irregular connective tissue
53
The cell is
The basic unit of all living things
54
Connective tissue is divided into four general groups
1. Adipose tissue 2. Cartilage 3. Bone 4. Blood
55
Hair shaft is composed of
Medulla, cortex, and cuticle
56
The nail is divided into six specific parts
1. The root 2. Nail bed 3. The nail plate 4. The cuticle 5. The perionychium 6. The hyponychium
57
The Mosculoskeletal system is a system of
Muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments that provides movement, form, strength, heat production, and protection
58
Long or tubular bone
Femur, and humerus
59
Short or cuboidal
Cube shaped bones found in the carpal bones of the wrist and tarsal bones of the ankle
60
Sesamoid
A short bone formed within the tendons, such as the patella
61
Flat
Consists of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone such as the skull and ribs
62
Irregular
Zygoma and vertebrae
63
Closed fracture
Does not involve a break in the skin
64
Compound fracture
Projects through the skin increasing the possibility of infection
65
Comminuted fracture
More than two separate bone components- segmental fracture, bony fragments
66
Transverse fracture
Breaks the shaft of a bone across the longitudinal axis
67
Greenstick fracture
Only one side of the shaft is broken, and the other is bent; common in children
68
Spinal fracture
Spread along length of bone and produced by twisting stress
69
Colles' fracture
Occurs in the wrist and affects the distal radius bone
70
Compression fracture
Occurs in vertebrae and is subject to extreme stress
71
Epiphyseal fracture
Occurs where the matrix is undergoing calcification and chondrocytes are dying usually seen in children
72
Three types of joints
Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial
73
Axial skeleton consist of
. Skull . Hyoid . Ribs . Sternum . Vertebrae . Sacrum
74
Appendicular skeleton consists of
. Shoulder griddle . pelvic griddle . extremities
75
There are three types of muscles found in the body.
1. Skeletal muscle: also called striated muscle attached to the skeletal, is voluntary control 2. Smooth muscle: found in the walls of all of the hollow organs of the body. is considered involuntary 3 cardiac muscle: also called heart muscle; makes up the wall of the heart
76
The human body contains three types of blood vessels
1. Arteries- which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart 2. Veins- carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. 3. Capillaries- tiny vessels facilitate the exchange of fluid, oxygen, nutrients, and waste between local tissues in the bloodstream.
77
The heart is composed of three layers
1. The epicardium is the outer layer of the heart 2. Myocardium is the main muscle of the heart 3. Endocardium the inner lining of the heart
78
The respiratory system includes the
Nose, and nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi and their smaller branches, the lungs, and alveoli
79
The pharynx is divided into three regions:
Nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
80
The lymphatic system consists of
Thymus, tonsils, spleen, lymphatic vessels
81
Digestive system
Mechanically and chemically breaks down food into minuscule or molecular size for absorption into the blood steam and use at the cellular level
82
Four portions of the colon are
The ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
83
Ancillary organs also a part of the digestive system are
Pancreas, liver, and gallbladder
84
The components of the central nervous system (CNS)
The brain and spinal cord The CNS is the command center
85
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes
The cranial and spinal nerves The PNS serves as the communication lines that link all parts of the body to the CNS
86
The endocrine system consists of: • the endocrine system is comprised of glands, which secrete or excrete chemicals called hormones
* pituitary gland * thyroid * adrenal gland * Testis * pineal gland * thymus * pancreas * ovary
