Anat/Phys Exam 1

anatomy the study of the structure of organisms and the relations of their parts
physiology a specialized field within biology which can be defined as the science dealing with the functions of living organisms or their parts
biology the science that deals with the phenomenon of life and living organisms
do anatomical structures vary between individuals yes due to anatomical variation
anatomical or reference position a reference position for descriptive purposes. The position is with the body standing erect, facing the observer, eyes front, arms at the side with palms of the hand and tips of the feet direct forward

deep away from the surface
medial toward the axis or midline
lateral away from the axis or midline
central pertaining to or situated at the center
peripheral toward the outer surface or part
cell living tissue that contains a nucleus and a variety of cellular material specialized to the particular function of the individual cell. Highly masses of protoplasm which possess the property we have come to call "life,"differ based on tissue they comprise
tissue when colonies of cells and their intercellular substances combine in such a manner as to exhibit functional unity
5 types of elementary tissue epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous, vascular
epithelial tissue sheets of tissue that cover the external region of the body (on surface)- skin; lines the tubes leading into the interior of the body- ear canal; it lines internal cavities of the body- thoracic cavity (the lining)- the lungs and heart are inside
types of epithelial tissue epithelial tissue proper, endothelial tissue, mesothelial tissue
epithelial tissue proper forms outer layer of skin, internal membranes, continuous with the skin; found in respiratory and digestive tracts
endothelial tissue inner lining of walls of blood and lymph confined vessels
mesothelial tissue specialized tissues that lines the primary body cavity- thoracic cavity
connective tissue connects or binds structures to support the body and aiding in body maintenance
types of connective tissue loose, dense, specialized
loose connective tissue characterized by scattered fibers
types of loose connective tissue areolar and adipose
areolar loose connective tissue commonly found just beneath the skin. Forms the "bed" for skin and mucous membranes
adipose loose connective tissue a form of areolar tissue that is composed of cells which have absorbed and are imgregnated with fat
dense connective tissue characterized by closely packed fibers. Tendons, ligaments, fasciae, and reticular (netlike)
specialized connective tissue solid or rigid intercellular substances. Various types of cartilage and bone
muscular tissue principle mediator of all movement; responsible for voluntary and involuntary movement; counts for 40% of body weight
nervous tissue the motor unit consists of a nerve cell (the body and its processes) and all the muscle fibers served by the nerve cell. Highly specialized: main property is extremely irritable/sensitive- abrupt environmental change which cause electrical chemical change
vascular tissue fluid tissue of the body (10% of body weight)
types of cartilage hyaline, elastic, fibrous
hyaline cartilage covers the articular surfaces of joints and forms the framework for the larynx, trachea, and bronchi. Bluish/white when it's young/translucent
elastic cartilage occurs in the external auditory meatus, the epiglottis, and in some small laryngeal cartilages/yellow, flexible, has to fo with the production and reception of sound
fibrous cartilage is found in some joints in the body and in some ligaments, particularly the spinal column
roles of tendons or ligaments attach muscles, bone, or cartilage
3 body cavities pleural, peritoneal, pericardial
pleural cavity chest cavity
peritoneal cavity stomach cavity
pericardial cavity heart cavity
bone considered a dense connective tissue, characterized by a rigid matrix or intercellular substance. Bones of composed of 2 different types of cells: Osteoblasts and osteocytes
2 kinds of bones dense(compact) and spongy(cancellous)
dense(compact) bone white in color
spongy(cancellous) bone more poreous (small holes in them)
2 types of bone marrow yellow and red
yellow bone marrow adipose(fat tissue)
red bone marrow manufacture of red blood cells
axial skeleton spine is the axis of the body, and the axial skeleton includes those bones associated with the spinal column, its extension and processes (vertebrae, hyoid bone, rib cage)

synarthroidial joint immovable joints
amphiathroidial joint slightly movable joint
diarthroidial freely movable joint
3 types of muscle striated, smooth, and cardiac
striated muscle crossed by evenly spaced transverse bands- look striated: voluntary muscle- attach primarily to skeletal system- bones called skeletal muscles
smooth muscle visceral; smooth(visceral) muscle consists of fusiform cells, which contain a single nucleus within the central portion of the sarcoplasm; because of its location, some refer to it as a visceral muscle
cardiac muscle muscle tissue in the heart; found only in the heart and has properties of both smooth and striated muscle
muscle type independent of voluntary control smooth muscle
role of endomysium with the organization of striated muscle serves to bind the muscle fibers and to separate them from adjacent muscle fibers. Tendons at the end of striated muscle fibers attach to either bone or cartilage
difference between isometric and isotonic Isometric contraction is a contraction in which the muscle does not shorten during contracton. Isotonic contraction occurs when a muscle shortens, but the tension of the muscle remains constant
type of movements muscle contraction leads to flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation

four structures of chest wall rib cage wall, diaphragm, abdominal wall, abdominal content
rib cage wall part of chest wall rib cage surrounds the lungs in the shape of a barrel. Consists of thoracic vertebrae, associated ribs, costal cartilage and the attachment to the sternum and the pectoral girdle
diaphragm part of chest wall separates the thorax (cavity housing the lungs) from the abdominal contents. It is dome shaped and the right side is lower than the left. The center of the diaphragm contains the inelastic central tendon
abdominal wall part of chest wall provides the casing for the lower half of the torso. It is enclosed by two sheets of connective tissue (i.e. abdominal aponeurosis and the lumbodorsal fascia)
abdominal content part of chest wall stomach, organs and other international structures are found within the abdominal cavity. The content are relatively homogenous and are suspended from above by a suction force at the interior surface of the diaphragm
operation of chest wall unit linkage between the chest wall (rib cage, abdominal wall, diaphragm, and abdominal content) and the lungs via the pleura leads to the two components acting as one unit. As the chest wall expands during inspiration, the lungs expand in size
movement of air in and out of lungs During inhalation, the thoracic cavity increases in size causing the density or pressure of the air in the lungs (alveolar pressure) to be reduced
passive forces of respiration generate alveolar pressure needed for speech
active forces of respiration contractions occurs when the speakers target volume has the potential to be reduced as the contributions of the passive forces decrease
