Anatomy and Physiology 2 Lab Midterm Flashcards

Brain Anatomy

• Understand the midsagittal view to identify key brain structures and their functions.
• Key areas to label include the corpus callosum, thalamus, and hypothalamus.

Abdominal Anatomy

• Familiarize with the anterior view of the upper abdomen, focusing on organs like the stomach, liver, and spleen.
• Important features include the diaphragm and abdominal aorta.

Female Pelvis Anatomy

• Explore the superior view of the female pelvis, noting the uterine structure and ovaries.
• Recognize the pelvic inlet and pelvic outlets in identification.

Histology

• Analyze the photomicrograph to identify various tissue types, such as epithelial and connective tissues.
• Pay attention to the organization of cells and discern practical implications in physiology.

Blood Composition

• Identify formed elements of blood including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
• Understand the role of each component in the body's overall function.

Centrifuged Blood

• Recognize the layers seen in centrifuged blood: plasma, buffy coat, and red blood cells.
• Relate the composition to diagnostics and clinical implications.

Platelet Production

• Examine structures involved in platelet production, including megakaryocytes and bone marrow.
• Note the significance of thrombopoiesis in hemostasis.

Heart Valves

• Identify the four heart valves: mitral, tricuspid, aortic, and pulmonary.
• Know their locations and functions in blood flow regulation.

Conduction System of the Heart

• Familiarize with components like the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, and Purkinje fibers.
• Understand the flow of electrical impulses for cardiac muscle contraction.

Cardiac Cycle Pressure Graph

• Label sections of the pressure graph distinguishing aorta, left atrium, and left ventricle.
• Discuss phases of the cardiac cycle including systole and diastole.

Heart and Thoracic Cage Anatomy

• Label anatomical features such as the pericardium, myocardium, and coronary arteries.
• Connect structures with their physiological functions in circulation.

Major Vessels of the Heart

• Identify vessels (e.g., aorta, pulmonary arteries, and veins) associated with anterior heart circulation.
• Understand oxygenated vs. deoxygenated blood flow in these vessels.

Posterior Heart Anatomy

• Label external anatomy of the posterior heart including important structures like the left atrium and ventricles.
• Recognize how these structures connect to the systemic and pulmonary circuits.

Anatomical Structure Labeling

• Practice labeling various structures described, enhancing spatial visualization skills.
• Develop an understanding of anatomical relationships among structures.

Vessel Identification

• Match each image of blood vessels with their respective types: arteries, veins, and capillaries.
• Understand the functional differences among these vessel types.

Pulmonary Circulation

• Correctly label features involved in pulmonary circulation and their roles in gas exchange.
• Recognize the path from the right ventricle to the lungs and back to the left atrium.

Systemic Arteries

• Label major systemic arteries, including aorta branches and their supply regions.
• Understand their role in delivering oxygenated blood to various body parts.

Abdominal and Pelvic Arteries

• Identify arteries supplying the abdomen and pelvic regions, noting key branches from the aorta.
• Explore their significance in perfusion of abdominal organs.
