Study calssification and descrioption of structures and organs of the body
physiology
explains the process and functions of various parts of the body and how they interrelate with one another
Anterior
frontal portion of the body
posterior
back of body
cranial cavity
toward the head. The brain is located in the cranial portion of the body
superior
toward the head above or above.The neck is superior to the shoulder
inferior
lower toward the feet or below another the foot is inferior to the ankle
medial
toward the midline. The sternum (breastbone) is located in the medial portion of the chest
Lateral
toward the side. The outer area of the lef the area located on the side
proximal
nearest the origin of the structure nearest the trunk. The elbox is proximal to the forearm
distal
farthest from the origin of the structure farthest from the trunk The finger are distal to the hand
superficial
nearer the surface. The skin of the arm is superficial to the muscle below it
deep
farther away from the body surface. The bone of the upper arm is deep to the muscle that surround and cover it
BODY PLANE
SAGITTAL PLANE
RUNS LENGTHWIES FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK . A SAGITTAL CUT GIVES A RIGHT AND LEFT PORTION OF THE BODY
BODY PLANE
MIDSAGITTAL LINE
GIVES TWO EQUAL HALVES
BODY PLANE
CORONAL PLANE
DIVIDES THE BODY INTO A VENTRAL(FRONT) SECTION AND DORSAL (BACK) SECTION
BODY PLANE
TRANSVERSE PLANE
CUTS THE BODY HORIZONTALLY TO THE SAGITTAL AND THE FRONTAL PLANES DIVIDING THE BODY INTO CAUDAL AND CRANIAL PORTIONS
BODY CAVATIES
ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY
ABDOMINAL
LIVER GALLBLADDER STOMACH KIDNEYS SPLEEN PANCREAS SMALL INTESTINES AND PARTS OF LARGE INTESTINES
BODY CAVATIES ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY
PELVIC
LOWER PORTION OF THE INTESTINES URINARY BLADER DN INTERNAL STRUCTURES OF THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
DIAPHRAGM
A MUSCLE DIRECTLY BENEATH THE LUNGS SEPEREATES THE VENTRAL CAVITYINTO THE THORACIC AND ABDOMINAL CAVITIES.
THORACIC CAVITY
PLEURAL CAVITY
SPACE SURROUNDING THE LUNGS (LEFT AND RIGHT)
MEDIASTINUM
CENTRALLY LOCATED AREA OUTSIDE OF AND BETWEEN THE LUNGS. IT CONTAINS THE HEART AORTA TRACHEA ESOPHAGUS THYMUS GLAND BRONCHIAL TIBES AND MANY LYMPH NODE
DORSAL CAVITY
CRANIAL
BRAIN AND PITUITARY GLAND
DORSAL CAVITY
SPINAL
NERVES OF THE SPINAl cord
DORSAL CAVITY
AXIAL
TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE BODY
DORSAL CAVITY
APPENDICULAR
TOWARDS THE LIMB
ABDOMINAL REGIONS
RIGHT HYPOCHONDRIAC
RIGHT LOBE OF THE LIVER AND THE GALLBLADDER ARE VISIBLE
EPIGASTRIC AREA
PARTS OF THE RIGHT AND LEFT LOBE OF THE LIVER AND A LARGE PORTION OF THE STOMACH CAN BE SEEN
LEFT HYPOCHONDRIAC REGION
SMALL PORTION OF THE STOMACH AND LARGE INTESTINES IS VISIBLE
RIGHT LUMBER REGION
PARTS OF THE LARGE AND SMALL INTESTINES
UMBILICAL REGION
PORTON OF THE TRANSERSE COLON AND LOOPS OD THE SMALL INTESTINES
ATOMS
SMALL PARTICLES THAT FORM THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF MATTER AND THE SMLLEST COMPLETE UNITS OF WHICH ALL MATTERS IS MADE. FOR EXAMPLE A MOLECULE OF WATER CONTAINS ONE ATOMS OF OXYGEN AND TWO ATOMS OF HYDROGEN
CELLS
CONSIDERED TO BE THE SMALLEST LIVING UNTIS OF STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY
TISSUE
AN ORGANIZATION OF MANY SIMILAR CELLS THAT ACT TOGETHER TO PERFORM A COMMON FUNCTION
system
an organixation of varying numbers and kinds of organs arranged so that they can togther perform complex functions for the body
organ
group of several different kinds of tissue arranged so that they can together perform a special function
example of organization lungs are at the organ level
organs of the respiratory system
nose windpipe or tracheaz and the complex series of bronchial tubes that permit passage of air into the lungs
Robert Hooke
Discovered the first cell while examining plant fragments under the microscope nearly 300 years ago
homeostasis
a relative constancy in the internal environment of the body naturally maitained by the adaptive response
