Study Notes
Medical Terminology
- Medical roots often describe body parts
- Combining forms typically involve a root, vowel, and suffix
- Suffixes indicate procedures, conditions, disorders, or diseases
- Suffixes can modify the root word to an adjective or noun
Anatomical Reference System
- Anatomical position is standing erect, palms forward, feet together
- Body planes include sagittal, coronal, and transverse
Anatomy Directional Terms
- Medial—closer to the midline
- Lateral—farther from the midline
- Proximal—near the point of attachment
- Distal—farther from the point of attachment
- Superior—above
- Inferior—below
- Anterior—front
- Posterior—back
Body Cavities
- Cranial cavity—encloses the brain
- Thoracic cavity—contains the heart and lungs.
- Abdominal cavity—houses digestive organs
- Pelvic cavity—contains reproductive organs and portions of the digestive and urinary systems
Regions of the Thorax and Abdomen
- Regions are divided in quadrants
- Regions include epigastric, hypogastric, umbilical, and others
- Peritoneum surrounds abdominal organs
- Retroperitoneal structures are behind the peritoneum
- Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum
Cell Structure
- Cells are the basic unit of structure and function
- Cell membrane surrounds the cell
- Cytoplasm is the material within the cell membrane
- Nucleus control cell activity
- Stem cells are unspecialized cells that renew themselves
- Genes are units of heredity
Tissues
- Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces
- Connective tissue supports and connects body parts
- Muscle tissue enables movement
- Nerve tissue transmits impulses
Bone Anatomy
- Bones support, protect, and store minerals
- Bones have a shaft (diaphysis) and enlarged ends (epiphyses)
- Compact bone is dense and hard, spongy bone is less dense
Joints
- Joints connect bones
- Fibrous joints have little movement
- Cartilaginous joints have slight movement
- Synovial joints have significant movement
Skeletal System
- Bones form the skeleton
- Axial skeleton includes skull, spine, ribs, and sternum
- Appendicular skeleton includes limbs and girdles
Arm and Hand
- Bones of the arm include humerus, ulna ,and radius
- Bones of the hand include carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges
Leg and Ankle
- Bones in the leg include femur, tibia, and fibula
- Bones in the ankle include talus and calcaneus
Muscle System
- Muscles enable movement, posture, and generate heat
- Muscles are connected to bones by tendons
- Muscle tissue includes skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
Muscle Motion
- Muscles move limbs
- Muscles provide force through movement
Muscle Names
- Muscles are named by their location, fiber direction, and size or shape
Muscle Functions
- Different muscles provide varied movement action
- Muscle pairs work together to produce coordinated movements
Respiratory System
- Structures include nose, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), windpipe (trachea), lungs
- Lungs are paired organs
- The lungs contain alveoli, where gas exchange occurs
Lymphatic System
- Lymph nodes filter lymph
- The lymphatic system helps remove waste
Cardiovascular System
- The heart pumps blood through the vascular system
- The vascular system consists of arteries, capillaries, and veins
Spinal Cord Injuries
- Injuries can lead to paralysis
Medical Specialties
- Physiatrists treat physical injuries, and treat muscular disorders.
- Neurologists treat nervous/muscular system problems.
