Study Notes

Human Anatomy and Physiology

Aorta: The body's largest artery, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart.
Angina Pectoris: Chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
Bone: A hard tissue forming the skeleton.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A condition of excessive pressure on the median nerve at the wrist.
Duodenum: The first part of the small intestine, breaking down food.
Dolichocolon (Colon Elongatum): An unusually large and redundant colon.
Elbow Region: The area between the upper arm and forearm, containing the elbow joint.
Fibrous Joint: A fixed joint (synarthrosis) where collagenous fibrous connective tissue unites two bones.
Fibula: The typically smaller of the two bones between the knee and ankle.
Gastroenteritis: Inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestine.
Hypoglossus Muscle: A quadrilateral muscle that originates along the hyoid bone, depressing and retracting the tongue.
Ilium: The uppermost and largest region of the coxal bone, appearing in most vertebrates.
Imus: The middle of three small bones in the middle ear.
Jugular Foramen: A large opening in the skull, a pathway for nerves and blood vessels.
Knee Extensor Muscles: Muscles in the front of the thigh, responsible for straightening the knee joint.
Laminectomy: A surgical procedure removing the lamina to ease pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Meninges: Three thin layers of tissue protecting the brain and spinal cord.
Neurons: Specialized cells transmitting nerve impulses.
Osteoporosis: A condition causing weak, brittle bones prone to fractures.
Peritoneum: A sheet of tissue lining the abdominal pelvic cavity, holding and insulating organs.
Quadriceps Femoris Muscle: Muscle group flexing the hip and extending the knee.
Rostral: Located toward the front of the body, near the nose or mouth.
Radial Artery: A blood vessel supplying oxygenated blood to the forearm, wrist, and hand.
Superior Vena Cava: One of the two parts of the vena cava carrying blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest.
Stapes: A stirrup-shaped bone in the middle ear transmitting sound vibrations.
Spleen: An abdominal organ filtering blood, recycling iron, and storing blood cells, assisting immune function.
Tachycardia: An abnormally fast heartbeat in adults.
Ulcer: A sore or lesion developing on the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus lining, often caused by excess stomach acid.
Vestibule: A small entryway or cavity, such as the vestibule of the ear or mouth.
Wrist Ligaments: Strong fibrous tissues connecting wrist bones to the forearm and hand, stabilizing the wrist joint.
Xanthoma: A deposition of yellowish cholesterol-rich material appearing in various body locations in some disease states.
Yellow Marrow: Bone marrow storing fat and producing blood cells.
Zona Reticularis: Deepest region of the adrenal cortex, producing steroid sex hormones (androgens).
