Anatomy is study of body structures and their positional relationships

Homeostasis is constancy of internal environment

Metabolism is total of all physical and chemical processes that occur in an organism, results in growth, generation of energy, elimination of wastes, and other bodily functions

Physiology is study of how body functions in normal body processes

Planes of Reference:

  • Frontal or coronal plane separates into front and back, or anterior and posterior
  • Transverse plane separates into top and bottom, or superior and inferior
  • Saggital plane separates into right and left
  • Midsaggital plane separates into equal right and left halves

Anatomical position is standing erect, arms down, palms facing forward

CCTOOO is the acronym for the order of least complex to most complex organization:
Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism

Circulatory - transports
Intergretary
Urinary - affects blood ph
Skeletal
Digestive
Respiratory
Endocrine (use in time of stress)
Nervous
Reproductive
Muscular

Cell is fundamental unit of all living things

Tissue is groups of similar cells that act together to perform a specific function

''1. Nerve Tissue
2. Muscle Tissue
3. Connective Tissue
4. Epiletheal Tissue''

Mitochondria are the cell’s power plant and site for cellular respiration

Nucleus is the cell’s control center, directs metabolic activity

Cell membrane separates cytoplasm from surrounding external environment, governs exchange of nutrients and waste materials

Filtration is movement of particles across cell membrane because of pressure

Phagocytosis is cell-eating (keyword: ingest)

Synovial membrane lines freely moving joints

Mucous membrane lines open body cavities

Serous membrane lines closed body cavities

Posterior or dorsal is entire rear side of body, taking into account anatomical position of arms/hands

Medial is toward or near midline

Superior is above (cranial)

Inferior - caudal

Lateral is to the side, used when describing location on trunk of body, farther away from midline

Homolateral (ipsilateral) - on the same side of the body

Centralateral - opposite side of the body

Proximal - near a point of reference usually toward center of body (appendages)

Anterior or ventral is entire front side of body, taking into account anatomical position of arms/hands

Peripheral or superficial is pertaining to the outside surface or surrounding the external area of a structure

Distal is farthest from body, used when describing location on a limb (opposite of proximal) (used with a point of reference)

Central (deep) - center of body

Appendages - only proximal or distal. They cannot be medial or lateral. Used in referencing the same appendage.

Superficial - (peripheral) outside surface

Axillary is armpit

Antecubital is inside of elbow

Digital or phalangeal is fingers and toes

Femoral is thigh between hip and knee

Antebrachial is forearm

Costal is ribs

Quadrants of body (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left)

Upper right quadrant = liver
Lower right quadrant = appendix

Examples -

Wrist is distal to elbow
Forehed is superior to chin

Cervical is entire neck

Palmar is palm of hand

Orbital is eyes (ophthalmic)

***************************************

TERMS OF THE HEAD & NECK AREA

Buccal - cheek area

Cephalic - head end - whole area of the head

Cranial - skull, head area

Facial - face area

Frontal - forehead

Mandibular - lower jaw

Oral - mouth

Mental - chin area

Nasal - nose region

Nuchal - posterior neck

Occipital - posterior inferior head

Otic - ear (auricular)

**************************************

acromial - top of the shoulder

antebrachial - forearm (wrist and elbow)

antecubital - front of elbow - bend of elbow

brachial - upperarm - between shoulder and elbow

carpal - wrist area

cubital - elbow

deltoid - curve of the shoulder and upper arm formed by the deltoid muscle

palmar (volar) - anterior surface of the hand (palm of hand)

Pollex - thumb

Calf or sural is calf of leg - posterior leg

Popliteal is back of knee

Scapula is “shoulder blade”

Lumbar region is located on spine, between ribs and hips

2 Types of Cavities

1. Dorsal cavity is on posterior of body and contains spine and brain

2. Ventral cavity is on anterior of body and contains everything else

Types of tissues: CEMN=T Connective, Epithelial, Muscle, Nerve = Tissues

Epithelial tissue lines or covers internal and external organs of the body, including skin

__Nerve Tissue
Muscle Tissue
Connective Tissue__

10 body systems: CSI, RRM, NUDE: Circulatory, Skeletal, Integumentary, Respiratory, Reproductive, Muscular, Nervous, Urinary, Digestive, Endocrine

Thixotropy, from Greek root, meaning to touch and turning

Thixotropism, ability of fascia to turn or change its state (soften) through touch or friction, it is aided by hydration

Abdominal (celiac) - anterior trunk between thorax and pelvis

Costal - ribs

Groin (inguinal) area where the thigh meets the abdomen

Mediastinal - thoracic cavity occupying the area betweent he lungs.

Pectoral (mammary) upper anterior thorax

Pelvis - inferior region of abdominopelvic cavity

Perineal - region between pubis and coccyx; inferiror pelvic cavity

Pubic - region of the pubic symphysis at the genital area

Thoracic - between the neck and respiratory and diaphram - upper chest

Umbilical - mid abdoment or navel (scar left from umbilical cord)

Coccygeal - bottom of the spine - upper region of the gluteal cleft

Gluteal (buttock) - curve of the buttocks by the gluteal muscles

Lumbar - low back between the ribs and the hips

Sacral - Sacrum of the spinal column

Sacreillac - between the sacrum and the pelvic bone

Vertabal - vertebrae of the spinal column

Calcaneal - heel (acheillies tendon)

Coxal - hip region

Crural - leg (entire leg)

Dorsum - top of foot

Femoral - femur or thigh area between the hip and knee

Hallux - big toe /great toe

Patellar - kneecap

Pedal - foot or feet

Plantar - (volar) bottom surface or sole of foot

Tarsal - ankle

Cytoplasm
