A

Gastro-intestinal and reproductive systems

25
What two directions does the tri-laminar disc fold?
Cephalo-caudal Lateral
26
Describe cephalo-caudal folding
Head and tail curl inward
27
Describe lateral folding
Lateral edges fold inwards
28
What does lateral folds create?
Cavities
29
What are the cavities potential spaces for?
Pleural cavities Pericardial cavitity Abdomino-pelvic cavity Cranial
30
Describe how parietal and visceral layers are formed
The open air space is pushed by a structure, the air space then deflates into an outer membrane. Inner layer-visceral Outer layer- parietal
31
What lies between the visceral and parietal layers?
Lubricated by serous fluid
32
What are muscles separated by?
Deep fascia
33
What is compartment syndrome?
The increased pressure of different compartments on neurovascular bundles

Skull, vertebrae, sacrum, ribs and sternum
35
What is included in the appendicular skeleton?
Bones of upper and lower limbs including the scapula and clavicle and hip bone

What makes up the CNS?
Brain and spinal cord
37
What makes up the PNS?

What does visceral refer to?
Unconscious movement and sensation

What is the visceral motor nervous system controlled by?
Autonomic nervous system
42
What is the enteric nervous system?
Almost autonomous nervous system of the gut
43
What is the structure of a neuron?
