Study Notes

Anatomical Directions and Planes

  • Distal part refers to the farthest point from the center of the body
  • Coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior sections
  • Transverse plane is a horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections
  • Medial part refers to the middle point of the body or a structure

Sebaceous Glands Secretions

  • Sebaceous glands secrete sebum
  • Sebum is an oily substance that helps to moisturize the skin and hair
  • Sweat glands, on the other hand, produce sweat, which helps to regulate body temperature

Movements and Muscles

  • Pronation is a movement that involves rotating the forearm so that the palm faces downward
  • Extension is a movement that involves increasing the angle between two bones
  • Rotation is a movement that involves rotating a bone around a fixed axis
  • Erector pili muscle is responsible for causing hair to stand upright

Muscle Types

  • Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and help to move the body's skeleton
  • Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body

Epidermis and Dermis

  • The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin
  • The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis
  • The epidermis is closely connected to the dermis, with the dermis providing support and structure to the epidermis
