Anatomy Study Guide: Feel free to edit and add information so we can collectively make a study guide! I kept the main prompts in black font, but feel free to change the color of anything you add! Exam 1 Blueprint Anatomy Date of Exam: 9/30/24 The exam is split into 50 questions. Mostly multiple choice with a few true and false and one select all that apply. You will have 75 minutes to complete the exam. Some of the questions will reference attached photos. There is a couple scenario questions that are a part of the test. These are used to help connect anatomy to real life scenarios. Review of anatomical terms Regional anatomy: body’s organization by layers - Skin, subcutaneous tissue, deep fascia, muscles, skeleton, cavities containing viscera (organs) Surface anatomy: - Structures that are visible and palpable below the skin (anatomical landmarks) Anatomical position: - Head, eyes, and toes directed anteriorly, palms facing anteriorly, lower limbs close together with feet parallel - Superior, cranial vs inferior, caudal: - Superior: nearest to cranium - Cranium: towards the head - Inferior: nearest to foot - Caudal: towards the feet https://docs.google.com/document/d/11M2k6Z-_qp7Jfy-bQzXMGvTSW_HRY4dGYlpxLrE0PQ8/mobilebasic 9/28/24, 8 08 PM Page 1 of 16 :  Anterior (ventral/rostral) vs posterior (dorsal): - anterior/ventral : front of body - Rostral: front (terms of brain) - posterior/dorsal: back of body Medial vs lateral: - Medial: near median plane of body - Lateral: farther away from median plane of body Dorsal surface vs Palmar surface vs Plantar surface - Dorsal surface: posterior hand and superior foot surface - Palmar surface: anterior hand - Plantar surface: inferior foot surface Superficial vs Intermediate vs Deep - Superficial: towards surface of body - Deep: away from surface of body Proximal vs Distal - Proximal: nearer to the attachment of a limb to the body - Distal: farther away from the attachment of a limb to the body https://docs.google.com/document/d/11M2k6Z-_qp7Jfy-bQzXMGvTSW_HRY4dGYlpxLrE0PQ8/mobilebasic 9/28/24, 8 08 PM Page 2 of 16 :  Review of anatomical planes Median (sagittal): look at left and right sides Frontal (coronal): look at front and back Transverse (axial): chop in half Review the structure and purpose of bones, cartilage Bones: - Function: - Provide support for the body and its vital cavities - Protection - Mechanical basis for movement - Storage for salts (calcium) - Continuous supply of new blood cells (produced in bone marrow) - Types of Bone: Spongy and Compact - Compact: provide strength for weight bearing and stores calcium, more dense - Spongy: some have medullary cavity (marrow) with yellow (fatty) marrow and red (blood cell and platelet forming) marrow, less dense Basic parts of the bone (Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Metaphysis, Articular Surface, periosteum) - Diaphysis (shaft) - Long central portion of bone - Epiphysis (proximal and distal): - Enlargement of bone that caps the diaphysis (on both ends) - Metaphysis (proximal and distal): - Locations within long bones where growth plates are found https://docs.google.com/document/d/11M2k6Z-_qp7Jfy-bQzXMGvTSW_HRY4dGYlpxLrE0PQ8/mobilebasic 9/28/24, 8 08 PM Page 3 of 16 :  - Articular surface - Ends of epiphysis on both ends that are lined by hyaline cartilage - Periosteum: fibrous sheath that covers bones, contains blood vessels and nerves that provide nourishment and sensation - Perichondrium: fibrous connective tissue that surrounds articular cartilage Different types of cartilage and the areas they are located.
