Gross anatomy - -anatomical structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Anatomical position - -standing upright, eyes forward, upper limbs at side, forearms
supinated, palms out, thumbs up
R and L in anatomical position and why - -in patient's perspective (opposite of mine),
continuity and so everyone is talking about the same part of the body
supine - -lying on back
prone - -lying on stomach
anterior (ventral) - -front
posterior (dorsal) - -back
superior - -up/top
inferior - -down/bottom
medial - -towards the midline
lateral - -away from the midline
proximal - -close to attachment of appendages
distal - -far away from the attachment of appendages
superficial - -close to the surface
deep - -further away from the surface (internal)
arm (anatomical) - -upper limb from shoulder to elbow
leg (anatomcial) - -lower limb from knee to ankle
sagittal - -divides into left and right portions, (midsagittal - equal, parasagittal - uneven)
frontal (coronal) - -divides into anterior and posterior

,ANTR350
transverse - -divides into superior and inferior, subcostal - through 10th rib,
transumbilical - through belly button, supracristal - top of hip bones
oblique - -any non standard plane, runs at an angle
planes used for 4 abdominal quadrants - -midsagittal and transumbilical
4 abdominal quadrants - -RU, LU, RL, LL
planes that create 9 abdominal regions - -L and R midclavicular, subcostal, and
supracristal
9 abdominal regions - -right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar,
umbilical, left lumbar, right iliac, hypogastric, left iliac
tissue - -A group of similar cells that perform the same function.
organ - -A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
organ system - -group of organs that work together to perform a specific function
4 principal tissues found in the body - -epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
epithelial tissue function - -protection, secretion, absorption
epithelial tissue location - -surfaces and linings
connective tissue function - -provide support and integrity to structures in the body
2 types of connective tissue - -elastic and adipose
cephalic - -head
buccal - -cheek
otic - -ear
mental - -chin
cervical - -neck
acromial - -shoulder
axillary - -armpit

thoracic cavity - -contains heart and lungs
pericardial cavity - -contains the heart
pleural cavity - -contains the lungs
