Q

What is anatomical position and why is it used?

A

It is where the individual stands upright with feet parallel and flat on the floor. The head is level, and the eyes look forward the observer. The arms are at either side of the body with the palms facing forward and the thumbs pointing away from the body. By visualizing the body in anatomic position, all observers have a common point of reference when describing and discussing its regions

1) Epithelial tissue
2) Connective tissue
3) Muscle tissue
4) Nervous tissue

29
Q

Epithelial tissue

A

Covers surfaces; lines insides of organs and body cavities

30
Q

Connective tissue

A

Protects, binds together, and supports organs

31

The four areas of the abdominopelvic cavity formed by passing one vertical and one horizontal plane through the umbilicus (navel)

34
Q

Abdominopelvic regions are

A

The nine areas in the abdominopelvic cavity formed by two transverse planes and two sagittal planes

35
Q

Auscultation is

A

A diagnostic method that involves listening to the sounds produced by various body structures

36
Q

Homeostasis is

A

State of equilibrium, or constant internal environment in the body

37
Q

Palpation is

A

Using the hands to detect organs, masses, or infiltration of a body part during a physical examination

38
Q

Percussion is

A

When you tap on the body and look for residence of an organ, you can tell about internal injuries

Q

Reflex response is

A

When you tap on certain parts of the body looking for certain responses. Used to test for nerve or muscle damage
