Study Notes
Anatomical Terms and Regions
- Axial: Refers to the head, neck, and trunk, forming the body's primary axis.
- Appendicular: Pertains to the limbs and their connection to the axial skeleton.
- Cephalic: Relates to the head.
- Cervical: Indicates the neck region.
- Thoracic: Refers to the chest area, encompassing the rib cage.
- Abdominal: Describes the trunk region below the ribs.
- Pelvic: Identifies the region of the pelvis.
- Inguinal: Refers to the groin area.
- Pubic: Indicates the genital region.
Body Regions and Terminology
- Acromial: The point of the shoulder.
- Brachial: Pertains to the arm.
- Femoral: Relates to the thigh.
- Patellar: Refers to the kneecap.
- Popliteal: The area at the back of the knee.
- Crural: Indicates the leg or shin.
- Pedal: Refers to the foot.
- Digital (upper limb): Indicates the fingers.
- Digital (lower limb): Indicates the toes.
Directional Terms
- Superior: Located above another structure.
- Inferior: Positioned below another structure.
- Cranial: Moving towards the head.
- Caudal: Moving towards the tail.
- Anterior: Refers to the front of the body.
- Posterior: Refers to the back of the body.
- Medial: Toward the midline of the body.
- Lateral: Away from the midline.
- Proximal: Closer to the trunk or point of attachment.
- Distal: Farther from the trunk or point of attachment.
Body Planes
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right sections.
- Mid-sagittal Plane: Divides the body evenly into left and right halves.
- Frontal (Coronal) Plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
- Transverse (Horizontal) Plane: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections.
- Oblique Plane: A diagonal cut through the body.
Abdominal Regions and Quadrants
- Epigastric Region: Upper central abdomen; region #2.
- Hypochondriac Regions: Lateral regions of the upper abdomen; regions #1 and #3.
- Hypogastric Region: Lower central abdomen; region #8.
- Lumbar Regions: Lateral regions of the middle abdomen; regions #4 and #6.
- Inguinal (Iliac) Regions: Lower lateral regions; regions #7 and #9.
- Umbilical Region: Central region; region #5.
- Left Lower Quadrant: A region of the lower left abdomen; quadrant #4.
- Right Lower Quadrant: A region of the lower right abdomen; quadrant #3.
- Left Upper Quadrant: A region of the upper left abdomen; quadrant #2.
- Right Upper Quadrant: A region of the upper right abdomen; quadrant #1.
Mitosis Stages
- Interphase: The phase where the cell prepares for division.
- Prophase: Chromosomes become visible; nuclear envelope breaks down.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the equatorial plane.
- Anaphase: Chromosomes are pulled toward opposite poles.
- Telophase: Nuclear membranes reform; chromosomes begin to decondense.
Microscopy Terminology
- Condenser: Focuses light onto the specimen.
- Coarse Adjustment Knob: Used for initial focusing of the microscope.
- Fine Adjustment Knob: Allows for precise focusing after coarse adjustment.
- Head: Part of the microscope that houses the ocular lens.
These notes provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant anatomical terms, body planes, and stages of mitosis crucial for A&P practical studies.
