Terminology (1) Flashcards
(15 cards)
Define anatomy and physiology
Anatomy = the scientific discipline that investigates the bodies structure
Physiology = scientific investigation of the processes or functions of living things
List the structural and functional organizations of anatomy
Chemical level= interaction of atoms
i.e., ions + proteins are needed for electrical
signals
Cell level = structural and functional unit of living organisms
I.e., smooth muscle
Tissue level = group of similar cells and the materials surrounding them
I.e., 4 classes of tissue - nervous, muscle, epithelial, connective tissue
Organ level = 2 or more tissues functioning together
I.e., bladder = 3 tissues
Organ system level = groups of organs functioning together
I.e., nervous system
Organism level = any living thing
Label the body positions
Anatomical position = body erect, face forward, feet together, palms forward
Supine = lying face upward
Prone - lying face downward
Label the body parts and regions
Depict the body planes
Sagital = vertically through the body - separates right and left
Frontal (coronal) = divides body into anterior and posterior sections
Transverse = divides the body into superior and inferior sections
Oblique = other than at a right angle
Describe the planes through an organ
Longitudinal - cut along the length of an organ
Cross/ transverse - out at a right angle to length of the organ
Oblique - cut at any but a right angle
Label the body cavities
What is the purpose of serous membranes
- Cover the orgas of trunk cavities and lines the cavity
- visceral serous membranes = inner membrane
- parietal serous membranes = outer
cavity between the membranes filled with lubricanting serous fluid produced by membranes
- pericardium, pleura, peritoneum

Which organs are outside the serous membrane of the peritoneum?
Pancreas, bladder, kidney, large intestine
An organ system is..
A) a structure composed of several tissue types
B ) a group of cells with similar structure and function
C) a small structure within a cell
D) a group of organs with a common set of functions
D) a group of organs with a common set of functions
An _____ is a structure that is composed of two or more different types of ____
An ORGAN is a structure that is composed of two or more different types of TISSUES
The serous membrane lining the surface of the lungs is called?
Visceral pleura
