Anatomy and Physiology- Chapter 1
Abdominopelvic Regions - ✔✔Umbilical, Epigastric, Hypograstic, Iliac (right/left), Lumbar (right/left),
Hypochondriac
Anatomical Position - ✔✔Body facing forward; Palms facing out; thumbs pointing away from body
Anatomy - ✔✔study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another
Anterior - ✔✔towards or at the front of the body; in front of
Body Planes and Sections - ✔✔
Cellular Anatomy - ✔✔considers the cells of the body
Circulatory System ( Cardiovascular System) - ✔✔blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen,
carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc.. heart pumps blood
Deep (internal) - ✔✔away from the body surface; more internal
Developmental Anatomy - ✔✔traces the structural changes in individual from conception through old
age
Digestive System - ✔✔breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to
body cells; indigestible food are eliminated as feces
Distal - ✔✔farther from the origin of a body part of the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
Dorsal and Ventral Body Cavities and their Subdivisions - ✔✔
, Endocrine System - ✔✔glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction
and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells
Gross Anatomy - ✔✔the study of large body structures visible to the naked eye
Histology - ✔✔Considers the tissues of the body
Homeostasis - ✔✔maintenance of stable internal conditions; dynamic state of equilibrium
Homeostatic Control Mechanism - ✔✔
Inferior - ✔✔Away from the head end or towards the lower part of a structure of the body; below
Integumentary System - ✔✔forms the external body covering; protects deeper tissues from injury;
synthesizes vitamin D; sight of cutaneous ( pain, pressure, etc) receptors and sweat and oil glands
Intermediate - ✔✔between a more medial and a more lateral structure
Lateral - ✔✔away from the midline of the body; on the outer side of
Levels of Structural Organization - ✔✔
Lymphatic System/Immunity - ✔✔picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and return it to blood,
disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream, houses white blood cells (lymphocytes) involved in
immunity. the immune response mounts to attack against foreign substances within the body
Medial - ✔✔towards or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of
Microscopic Anatomy - ✔✔anatomy of structures too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope
