Intro

Question 1

divisions of anatomy

Answer 1

1. macroscopic–regional (regions), systemic (systems)
2. microscopic
3. developmental

Question 2

planes

Answer 2

midsagital divides body into L/R-flextion/extension
parasagital divides body into unequal L/R parts
frontal divides body into front/back parts (asymmetrical)-abduction/adduction
transverse divides body into upper and lower parts-rotation

Question 3

body cavities

Answer 3

dorsal: cranial cavity and vertebrae cavity
ventral: thoracic (superior mediastinum-middle chest, L/R pleural cavities, and pericardial cavity-heart), abdominal, pelvic cavities

Question 4

what separates the thoracic and abominal cavities?

what separates the abdominal and pelvic?

Answer 4

• diaphram

- no structure, sometimes called abdominopelvic

Question 5

functions of the skeletal system

Answer 5

• supports body shape
• cooperates w/mm to produce movements
• protects organs
• Ca and other mineral supply

Question 6

types of bone

Answer 6

-long bone
-short bones-carpal region and tarsal
-flat bones, eg sternum, skull
irregular bones-vertebrae
-sesamoid bones-bones contained w/in the tendons of muscle (patella)

Question 7

axial skeleton

appendicular skeleton

Answer 7

axial=skull, cranium, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
appendicular=upper and lower limbs, including clavicle/scapula shoulder girdle and L/R pelvic bones (attachment points of limbs to axial skeleton)

Question 8

what movements occur only in the forearm?
what movements occur only in the ankle?
what movements occur only in the foot?

Answer 8

• supination and pronation
• dorsi flexion (flex) and plantar flexion (point)
• eversion and inversion

Question 9

regions of the abdomen

Answer 9

• spleen in L hypocondriac
• appendix and bladdar in hypogastric
• gallbladder in umbilical
