Study Notes
Movement of the Body
- Adduction is the movement of a limb towards the body in the coronal plane.
- Rotation is the movement of a part of the body around its long axis.
Hair and Skin
- The arrector pili is a band of smooth muscle that connects the undersurface of the follicle to the superficial part of the dermis.
Fascia
- The deep fascia is a membranous layer of connective tissue that invests the muscles and other deep structures.
Types of Muscle
- There are three types of muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Joints
- The sutures of the vault of the skull and the inferior tibiofibular joints are examples of fibrous joints.
Blood Vessels
- There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries.
- Arteries transport blood from the heart and distribute it to the various tissues of the body through their branches.
