Basic Anatomy Questions and Answers 100% pass 3 Classifications of Muscular Tissue - 1. Voluntary Striated Muscle 2. Involuntary Smooth Muscle 3. Cardiac Muscle 3 Types of Joints - 1. Diathrodial/Synovial - Highly mobile. (ex: elbow) 2. Amphiathrodial/cartilaginous- slightly mobile (ex: ribs) 3. Synarthrodial/fibrous - immobile (skull) 3 Types of Muscles - 1. Agonists 2. Antagonists 3. Synergists 3 Types of Tissue Aggregates - 1. Fascia (membranes that surround organs) 2. Ligaments (connects bone or cartilages) 3. Tendons (connects muscle to bone or cartilage.) 3 ways Nervous Tissue can transfer information - 1. From one neuron to another 2. From neuron to muscle 3. From sensory receptors to other neural entities 4 Main Functions of Epithelial Tissue - 1. covers surface of the body 2. lines cavities and passageways 3. acts as a barrier against hostile agents 4. prevents dehydration and fluid loss. 4 Systems used for Speech - 1. Respiratory 2. Phonatory 3. Articulatory/Resonatory 4. Nervous 4 Types of Tissue - Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, Nervous 5 Types of Connective Tissue - 1. Areolar 2. Fibrous Tissue 3. Cartilage 4. Bone 5. Blood Agonists - Muscles that move a structure Anatomical Position - Body erect. Palms, arms, and hands face forward. Antagonists - Muscles that opposes the contraction of an agonist Anterior or Ventral - Towards the front Appendicular Skeleton - Lower and Upper limbs Axial Skeleton - Head and Trunk, Spine is the axis Coronal Plane - AKA "frontal" Divides into anterior and posterior halves Deep - direction away from the surface Distal - Point farthest from the trunk Extension - straightening out a joint Flexion - Bending at a joint Inferior - Lower regions of the body Insertion - The point of attachment that moves when a muscle contracts Lateral - The side Main Function of Connective Tissue - binds together and supports other tissues and organs. Can be solid, liquid, or gel-like. Medial Plane - AKA "sagittal" Divides into Right and Left lateral halves Muscular Tissue - Is contractible. Nervous Tissue - Specialized for communication, consists of neurons and nerve cells. Organs - Body tissue combined together to perform a special function Origin of a Muscle - The point of attachment of the least mobile element Palmar - palm of the hand Peripheral - direction toward the surface Plantar - sole of the foot Posterior or Dorsal - Towards the back
