Lecture 1: Intro Flashcards
Define Anatomy and its three major divisions
Gross, microscopic, developmental
regional vs systemic approach to studying anatomy
regional: region specific (i.e. using cadavers)
Systemic: studying systems. what we’ll do
what are the 3 anatomical planes
- frontal/coronal
- horizontal/transverse
3.sagittal
what does the coronal plane divide
anterior vs posterior
what does the transverse plane divide
inferior vs superior
how to describe things in relation to sagital plane
medial: closer to midsagittal
lateral: further
proximal vs distal
proximal= part of limb that is closer to root
flexion vs extension
flexion=angle of joint decreses
extension= angle of joint increases
**happen in sagittal plane
abduction vs adduction
abduction= moving away
adduction= towards
happen in coronal plane
lateral vs medial rotation
happen in horizontal plane
lateral= away
medial=toward
supination
palm forward
pronation
palm back
dorsi flexion
bringing toes to shin.
extension ofankle
plantar flexion
bringing toes down. flexion of ankle
2 groups of body cavities
- dorsal= cranial and verterbral
- ventral = thoracic, abdominal, pelvic
Identify nine cavities
Right hypochondriac (RH)
Epigastric (E)
Left hypochondriac (LH)
Right lateral (lumbar) (RL)
Left lateral (lumbar) (LL)
Right inguinal (groin) (RI)
Pubic (hypogastric) (P)
Left inguinal (groin) (LI)
Umbilical (U)
