✔✔Hyoid Bone - ✔✔A U-shaped bone at the base of the tongue that supports the
tongue and its muscles.
Hyo = U-shaped
✔✔Thorax - ✔✔The chest or pulmonary trunk consisting of the sternum, ribs, and
thoracic vertebrae. It protects the heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
✔✔Carpus - ✔✔The wrist.
✔✔How many bones are in the carpus? - ✔✔8 small, irregular bones (carpals.)
✔✔Metacarpus - ✔✔The palm.
✔✔How many bones are in the metacarpus? - ✔✔5 bones
✔✔Phalanges - ✔✔The digits or fingers.
✔✔How many bones are in the phalanges? - ✔✔14 bones
✔✔Muscular System - ✔✔Covers, shapes, and supports the skeletal tissue.
✔✔What are the three types of muscular tissue? - ✔✔Striated muscles, nonstriated
muscles, and cardiac muscles.
✔✔Striated Muscles - ✔✔Known as skeletal or voluntary, are attached to the bones and
make up a large percentage of body mass and are controlled by the will.
,✔✔Nonstriated Muscles - ✔✔Known as involuntary, visceral, or smooth, function
automatically without conscious will. Found in the digestive and circulatory system.
✔✔Insertion - ✔✔The part of the muscle which is the movable attachment and farthest
from the skeleton.
✔✔Origin - ✔✔The more fixed part of the muscle closest to the skeleton.
✔✔Which direction do you massage in? - ✔✔Pressure in massage is usually directed
from the insertion to the origin.
✔✔Orbicularis Oculi - ✔✔The ring muscle of the eye socket. Closes the eyes.
✔✔Nasalis - ✔✔A two part muscle which covers the nose and flair the nostrils.
✔✔Supinator - ✔✔Muscle near the elbows that rotates the radius outward and the palm
upward.
✔✔Central Nervous System (CNS) - ✔✔Consists of the brain and nerves. It controls
consciousness and mental activities, voluntary functions of the five senses (see, hear,
feel, smell, and taste.)
✔✔Cerebrum - ✔✔Makes up the bulk of the brain and conveys thought, hearing, and
sight.
✔✔Dendrites - ✔✔Nerve fibers extending from the nerve cell that receive impulses from
other neurons.
✔✔Efferent Nerves - ✔✔Also, known as motor nerves. Carry impulses from the brain to
the muscles or glands. Transmit impulses produce movements.
Ef = out
Fer = to carry
✔✔What is the largest of the cranial nerves? - ✔✔The fifth cranial nerve, also known as
trifacial.
✔✔Fifth Cranial Nerve - ✔✔It is the chief sensory nerve of the face and serves as the
motor nerve that controls chewing.
✔✔What are the branches of the fifth cranial nerve? - ✔✔Ophthalmic nerve, Mandibular
nerve, and Maxillary nerve.
, ✔✔Ophthalmic Nerve - ✔✔Affects the skin of the forehead and upper eyelids.
Ophthalm = eye
✔✔Maxillary Nerve - ✔✔Affects the upper part of the face.
✔✔Mandibular Nerve - ✔✔Affects the muscles of the chin and lower lip.
✔✔Greater Auricular Nerve - ✔✔Located at the side of the neck.
Auri = relating to the ear
✔✔Digital Nerve - ✔✔A sensory-motor nerve that supplies the fingers.
✔✔Radial Nerve - ✔✔A sensory-motor nerve supplies the thumb side of the arm and
back of hand.
✔✔Median Nerve - ✔✔A smaller sensory-motor nerve supplies the arm and hand.
✔✔Ulnar Nerve - ✔✔A sensory-motor nerve that affects the little finger side of the arm
and palm of hand.
✔✔Vascular System - ✔✔Consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries for the
distribution of blood throughout the body.
✔✔Hemoglobin - ✔✔A complex iron protein, giving blood its red color.
✔✔Submental Artery - ✔✔Supplies blood to the chin and lower lip.
✔✔Frontal Artery - ✔✔Supplies blood to the forehead and upper eyelids.
✔✔Lymphatic System - ✔✔Protects the body from disease by developing immunities
and destroying disease-causing microorganisms and drain tissue spaces of excess
interstitial fluid in the blood.
✔✔Thyroid Gland - ✔✔Controls how quickly the body burns energy (metabolism),
makes proteins, and how sensitive the body should be to other hormones.
✔✔Pancreas - ✔✔Secretes enzyme-producing cells that are responsible for digesting
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Langerhans cells inside the pancreas controls insulin
and glucagon production.
