HPNU 3050 Exam 1
4 four primary tissue types - ANS-Epithelial tissue, connective, muscular, nervous
9 Abdominopelvic Regions - ANS-right left hypochondriac, epigastric, right left lumbar, umbilical,
right left iliac, hypogastric
Abdominal cavity - ANS-Contains stomach, intestines, spleen, and liver, and other organs,
superior to pelvic brim
Abdominopelvic Cavity Membrane - ANS-•Parietal peritoneum
•Peritoneal cavity
•Visceral peritoneum
Adipose Connective Tissue - ANS-•Structure: adipocytes, nuclei
•Function: protects, stores fat, insulates
•Location: subcutaneous layer, surrounding select organs (*kidneys)
Anatomy - ANS-The study of external & internal structures
Anterior - ANS-front
appendicular region - ANS-upper and lower limbs
Areolar Connective Tissue - ANS-Structure: fibroblasts, elastic fibers, collagen fibers, ground
substance
•Function: packs around and binds organs
•Location: surrounding nerves, vessels, and subcutaneous layer
Attachment - ANS-Basal lamina and reticular layer
axial region - ANS-head, neck, trunk
cell population - ANS-fibroblasts, macrophages, fat cells, and mast cells
Coronal and Frontal: - ANS-divides the body into anterior and posterior portions
Cranial cavity - ANS-formed by skull bones
Cytology - ANS-study of cells
, Dense Irregular Connective Tissue - ANS-•Structure: collagen fibers, fibroblast nuclei, ground
substance
•Function: tensile strength in all directions
•Location: dermis of skin, capsules of organs
Dense Regular Connective Tissue - ANS-Function: attaches muscles to bones or to muscles;
attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one
direction
Location: tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses
Describe anatomic position - ANS-The anatomic position is the body erect, facing forward, arms
at the sides, and palms forward.
Distal - ANS-away from the point of attachment
Elastic Cartilage - ANS-cartilage with abundant elastic fibers; more flexible than hyaline
cartilage
Elastic Connective Tissue - ANS-Function: allows recoil of tissue following stretching; maintains
pulsatile flow of blood through arteries; aids passive recoil of lungs following inspiration
Location: walls of large arteries; within certain ligaments associated with vertebral column,
within the walls of the bronchial tubes
Fibrocartilage - ANS-•Structure: chondrocyte in lacuna, collagen fibers, NO perichondrium
•Function: resists compression and absorbs shock in some joints
•Location: intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, menisci of knee joint
Function of fluid - ANS-reduces friction between moving organs
gap junction - ANS-channels that physically connect adjacent cells (lateral)
Gross anatomy - ANS-The study of structures that cannot be seen without magnification
Ground substance - ANS-Protein fibers and ground substance comprise the extracellular matrix
Histology - ANS-study of tissues
Hyaline Cartilage - ANS-Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones,
ribs, and nose
Inferior - ANS-Lower on the body, farther from the head
