Chapter 3-Anatomy Flashcards
(89 cards)
Anatomy
Study of the structure-and relationship between body parts
Physiology
Study of functions of parts and as a the body whole
Cell
Basic unit of life, smallest living organism
3 main parts of a cell
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus
Cell membrane
Outer covering of cell that regulates what enters and leaves it.
Cytoplasm
Clear-jelly like substance between cell membrane and nucleus contains cell fluid and organelles
Nucleus
Functional center governs activity and heredity. Brain of cell, can duplicate cell.
Tissue and types
Group of cells that perform a specialized function.
Epithelial- covers external body and lining
Connective- provides support stores energy connects to other tissue (bone, fat, cartilage, blood)
Muscular- shortens and contracts
Nervous- carries messagesbetween body and brain
Organs
Contains 2 or more tissue that function together for a purpose
System
Group of organs that work together to carry out particular activity.
Skeletal system
5 main functions
206 bones, provide movement.
Give body shape and support Allow movement Protect vital organs Produce blood cells Store calcium
Tendon
Cord of Connective tissue. Fibrous tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
Ligament
Band of connective tissue that connects bone to bone
Cartilage
Flexible conn: tissue (, ears and nose, ribs to sternum, lusnon between bones)
Ossification
Process where cartilage is replaced by bone
Joint and types
Place where 2 bones meet
Gliding- vertebrae
Ball and socket- bone with rounded head that fits into cups-allows. swing motion..
Pivot- allows turning motion
Hinge- allows front and back bending (elbows, knees)
Synovial membrane
Lining of joint. Secretes synovial allied
Cortical
Compact pone, hard outer layer surrounded by periosteum ( forming bone and blood vessels)
Cancellous
Spongy bone, inner layer of bone
Skeletal system procedures
Craniotomy, anterior cervical jusich, PLIF, ORIF, TKA, THA, external fixation, hippinning trigger finger release, tibial ostectomy
Fascia
Band or sheet of fiborous conn. Tissue
Types of muscle tissue (3)
Skeletal- attached to bone by tendon
Smooth- flat sheet, involuntary and voluntary (breathing, movement of food and blood )
Cardiac- woven fibers throughout heart.invomuntaly
Muscular procedures
Faciotomy → incision into fiborars memo. To relieve pressure from injury /swollen muscle
Herniorinaphy- repairing cavity wall muscle layer
Rotator cuff - repair muscle and ligament of joint
ACL, muscle biopsy, tendon repair
Central nervous system
Brain and spinal cord
Protected by meninges
Control center
