Anatomy Final Exam - MCPHS
1st, 2nd, 3rd degree burns - ANS-1st Degree, Involves the epidermis only, results in redness,
swelling, pain.
2nd Degree, Epidermis and upper dermal region involved, results in similar reaction as 1st but
also includes blistering.
3rd Degree, / Full thickness burn, epidermis and all of dermis involved, area is discolored
(gray-white, cherry red, blackened)
A Fibers - ANS - The largest - Myelinated
- Conduction speed of 130m/sec.
Found where a quick response is needed
Abducens Nerve - ANS-Eye movement, proprioception, Motor / Sensory
Accessory Nerve - ANS-Swallowing and head movements, Motor / Sensory
Action Potential - ANS-Occurs when a cell becomes depolarized and a nerve impulse can
result.
Active and Passive movement - ANS-Active: energy needed
Passive: no energy needed
Aerobic Respiration - ANS-The breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen
Afferent - ANS-Information is received and transmitted by Sensory nerves
Ampiarthroses - ANS-Slightly moveable, ex. distal tibia and fibula
Anabolism - ANS-Two or more atoms, ions or molecules coming together to form larger
molecules or compounds
Anaerobic Respiration - ANS-The breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen
Apocrine - ANS-Found in axillary, groin and genital region.
They become active at puberty and release a thicker secretion high in organic material. It
mixes and reacts with bacteria on the body to produce odor.
Association / Interneuron / Internuncial Neuron - ANS-Process information between Afferent
and Efferent
Atrophy - ANS-A condition of wasting away or decreased size of muscle.
B Fibers - ANS--Middle sized
-Myelinated
-Conduction speed of 10m/sec.
Found in the skin and viscera.
Ball and Socket - ANS-Ball-shaped head of one bone articulates with cup shaped socket of
another.
Biofeedback - ANS-Process by which you can learn to monitor visceral functions and
control them consciously
Ex. Heart rate, Headaches, Childbirth
It is the opposite of the Fight or Flight response
Bipolar - ANS-Contain an axon and a dendrite
Blood Supply to the Brain - ANS--Receives 15-20% of blood pumped by heart
, -Gets blood from internal carotids and vertebral arteries. -Interruption can cause
unconsciousness and irreversible brain damage
-High metabolic rate; dependent upon constant supply of oxygen and glucose
Blood-Brain Barrier - ANS--Astrocytes have foot processes that influence capillary permeability
-Lipid-soluble substances pass through by diffusion: nicotine, ethanol, heroin
-Water soluble substances move through by mediated transport: amino acids, glucose
Bloods PH - ANS-Blood 7.35 to 7.45
bone formation: endochondral - ANS-Occurs within a cartilage model where cartilage
degenerates giving way to bone. Hyaline cartilage-------Bone.
bone formation: intermembranous - ANS-Occurs within fibrous membranes, Flat bones (cranial)
and the Clavicles (collar bones).
C fibers - ANS-- Smallest
- Nonmyelinated
- .5m/sec.
Found in nerve that are part of pain transmission.
Carbohydrates - ANS-Provide most readily available source of energy
Cardiovascular - ANS-Transportation of blood and other materials throughout body, acid base
balance, important role in temperature regulation ( heart, blood vessels)
Catabolism - ANS-Larger molecules broken down to smaller molecules, ions or atoms
Central canal - ANS-
Cerebellum - ANS-The second largest portion of the brain.It also consists of two hemispheres.
Function, Coordination of skeletal muscles
maintaining body equilibrium and normal muscle tone Cerebrum - ANS-The largest part of the
brain. Commonly referred to as the cerebral cortex (bark).
Beneath the cortex lies the white matter.
CNS - ANS-brain and spinal cord
Colle's - ANS-Very common fracture of the upper extremity (distal radius and carpals).
Continuous Conduction - ANS-A nerve which depolarizes in linear fashion from the site of the
stimulus down to the end of the axon
Contractility - ANS-Ability to shorten and thicken
Convergence - ANS-Where multiple neurons can all synapse with one postsynaptic site
Corpus Callosum - ANS-Connects the right and left hemisphere
Covering Epithelium - ANS-Forms the outer covering of external body surfaces and the outer
covering of some internal organs. It lines body cavities, the inner surface of the respiratory and
digestive tract, blood vessels and ducts. It composes parts of sensory organs along with
nervous tissue.
Cross extensor reflex - ANS-when a withdrawal reflex is initiated in one lower limb, the crossed
extensor reflex causes extension of opposite lower limb.
Cutaneous Membrane - ANS-Cutis means skin, the cutaneous membrane is the skin.
Cytoskeleton - ANS-Support structures for the cell
Deratomes - ANS-A specific area of the skin innervated or supplied by an individual spinal
nerve
Diarthroses - ANS-Freely moveable, ex. elbow, knee
