Anatomical Planes
Medial, Sagittal, Frontal (Coronal), Transverse
Medial Plane
vertical plane passing longitudinally through body, divides body into equal left and right parts
Sagittal Plane
Vertical planes passing through body parallel to median plane, divides into unequal left and right parts
Frontal (Coronal) Plane
Vertical planes passing through body at right angles to median plane, divides body into anterior and posterior parts
Transverse Plane
horizontal plane passing thorough body at right angle to median and frontal, divide body into inferior and superior parts
Integumentary Systems consists of?
Epidermis, Dermis, Superficial fascia (Subcutaneous fascia, hypodermis)
Epidermis
keratine epithelium, tough outer protective layer, avascularcontains a few nerve terminals
Superficial Fascia
b/w dermis and deep fascia, loose CT and stored fat (is most of body’s fat storage)contains sweat glands and superficial blood & lymphatic vessels and cutaneous nerves.
Types of Fascias
Superficial fascia and Deep
Dermis
collagen and elastic fibers, dense layer providing tone and toughness, arteries from deep surfacecontains nerve terminals for pain pressure and temp, hair follicles and sebaceous glands
Functions of Integumentary system
Protection, containment, heat regulation, sensation, synthesis and storage of vitamin D
Deep Fascia
dense organized CT w out fat, surround muscles and neurovascular bundles, always passes bone w periosteum, limits outward expansion of contracting muscle helping to push blood out of veins as muscle compresses
Fascial compartments
located in limbs to contain groups of muscles with similar function and same nerve supply, separated by intermuscular septa, can contain or direct spread of infection/tumors
Retinacula
thickening of deep fascia near joints and it holds tendons in place during flex/ext
Bursae
closed sacs of serous membrane capable of secreting lubricating fluid, it is normally collapsed (potential space) and it can communicate with the synovial joints, when filled with fluid they become realized space.
Types of Bursae
Subcutaneous, Subfascial, Subtendonous, Synovial tendon sheaths
Subcutaneous
occurs b/w skin and bony prominence
Subfascial
lie beneath deep fascia
Subtendonous
facilitate movement of tendons over bone
Synovial tendon sheaths
specialized bursae that wrap tendons and enclose them as they pass through osseofibrous tunnels.eg. carpal tunnel
Collapsed bursal sacs ad Viscera
double layer of membrane that surround important organs, has the parietal “outer” layer in contact with body wall and visceral “inner” layer in contact with organ3 types of sacs are: pericardial - heart, pleural - lungs, and peritoneal - abdominal viscera
Skeletal Systems two function parts
Axial: Skull, Hyoid bone and cervical vertebrae, ribs sternum vertebrae and sacrumAppendicular: pectoral girdle, upper extremity, pelvic girdle, lower extremity
Cartilage
CT that forms skeleton requiring flexibility, avascular, articular cartilage that cover joining bone surfaces to provide smooth low friction gliding movements
Bone
Functions: support, protection, mechanical basis of movement, salts (Ca 2+), supply new blood cellsliving hard CT that makes up most of skeleton,
