Decks in this class (14)
ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY
Master the key anatomical directional terms (superior, inferior, anterior, posterior, medial, lateral, etc.) and understand how they are used to describe the locations and positions of structures in the body.
36
cards
PLANES OF THE BODY
Understand the four primary anatomical planes (median, sagittal, frontal, transverse), their functions, and how they divide the body. Be able to identify and explain the relationship between movements and specific planes.
40
cards
UPPER LIMB ANATOMY
Learn and correctly identify the anatomical components of the upper limb (shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist, hand). Understand the terminology for these regions and their relevance to body structure and movement.
15
cards
LOWER LIMB ANATOMY
Gain a thorough understanding of the anatomical components of the lower limb (hip, thigh, leg, ankle, foot). Understand how each part functions and the terms used to define these regions.
7
cards
CLINICAL APPLICATION OF TERMINOLOGY
Grasp the importance of precise anatomical terminology in clinical practice. Learn how incorrect use of terms can lead to miscommunication and potentially dangerous medical errors.
9
cards
MOVEMENT & ANATOMICAL PLANES
Comprehend how different movements (e.g., flexion, extension, abduction, adduction) are described in relation to the anatomical planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse). Be able to apply this understanding to real-life anatomical movement examples.
40
cards
ANATOMICAL POSITION & IMPORTANCE
Understand the standard anatomical position, why it's used as a reference in human anatomy, and how it helps in the clear description of anatomical structures and movement. Be able to explain how deviations from this position affect anatomical terminology.
1
cards
BODY REGIONS & TERMINOLOGY
Familiarize yourself with the anatomical terminology used to describe different body regions (e.g., brachium, antebrachium, popliteal region). Learn how these terms contribute to precise communication in both anatomy and clinical settings.
30
cards
SYSTEMIC VS REGIONAL VS CLINICAL ANATOMY
Understand the three main approaches to studying human anatomy and their applications in medical practice.
15
cards
CLASSIFICATION OF THE HUMAN BODY
Learn the hierarchical organization of the body, from cells to systems, and their functional relationships.
0
cards
EPITHELIAL TISSUE & CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Identify types of epithelial tissue, their functions, and their relevance in protection, absorption, and disease.
0
cards
CONNECTIVE TISSUE & CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Explore the different types of connective tissue, their roles in structural support, and their implications in injury and healing.
0
cards
MUSCLE TISSUE & FUNCTIONAL ROLES
Distinguish between skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle, understanding their control mechanisms and physiological importance.
0
cards
NERVOUS TISSUE & FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY
Examine the structure and function of nervous tissue, focusing on the central and peripheral nervous systems and their role in coordination.
