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.
