    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.
