Anatomy & Physiology

slit like opening; usually transit of vessels and nerves

any opening; usually transits vessels and nerves

located in the neck; shares the same developmental origin as the facial bones

Lies at level of T10; midline pointer to surface of liver, diaphragm and inferior border of the heart

superior part of the sternum

Ribs 11-12; their cartilages don't connect with the sternum

Ribs 8-10; connection with the sternum is either indirect or absent

ribs 1-7; they attach directly to the sternum through their own costal cartilages

tailbone

4-6 separate vertebrae that fuse together by age 24

prominent odontoid process that articulates with the atlas

two broad, flat plates of bone

short processes that join the vertebral arch to the vertebral body

disease where the laminae fail to develop normally

curvature of the spine

swayback

hunchback

extends from the skull to the apex of the coccyx

7 cervical, 12 thoracic and 5 lumbar

Depression on the superior surface of the sphenoid bone; houses the pituitary gland

large protuberances on the lateral aspects of the occipital bone

acts as resonators for the voice and reduce the weight of the skull; help humidify and warm inspired air to body temperature

smallest bone at the anterior margin on the medial wall of the orbit

small opening in front of orbital bone; transits for blood vessels and nerves

long, thin bone that runs down the middle of the nasal cavity

extends from the foramina in sphenoid bone to accommodate passage of the optic nerves

rounded portion of mandible located at top left peripheal; articulates with the skull

small opening on lower portion of mandible; transits nerves and blood vessels

small pointy bone that extends from the base of the temporal bone

canal that extends from the external ear to the eardrum

protuberance of the temporal bone just behind the ear

thin triangular portion of mandible on the upper right side (peripheal)

lower jawbone

portion of facial structure from above gum line to nasal area

cheekbone

portion of the skull that is on the side protecting temple area

straight bone that connects the zygomatic bone to the temporal bone

Bone that makes up back portion of skull

Left and right bones of skull

front bone of skull

Made up of 22 bones; 8 cranial & 14 facial

Standing erect; feet slightly apart; eyes forward; arms straight by side; palms facing forward; fingers extended; feet flat; toes forward

toward the midsaggital plane (nose is medial to the ears)

away from the midsaggital plane (arms are lateral to the chest)

toward the trunk or point of attachment (elbow is proximal to shoulder)

away from the trunk or point of attachment (wrist is distal to shoulder)

toward the surface of the body or any of its parts

toward the inside of the body or any of its parts

an inner region

an outer region

on the same side of the body (right arm and leg)

on the opposite side of the body (left side of the brain is contralateral to the right side)

toward back of the body

toward front of the body

contains the bladder, portions of large intestine and internal reproductive organs

contains the stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small intestine and most of large intestine

Chest; contains heart and lungs

Formed by skull bones; contains the brain

crosswise plane that divides any of its parts into upper and lower parts

plane that runs lengthwise from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into anterior & posterior sections

sagittal plane that divides the body or any of its parts into unequal right and left sides

plane that divides the body or any of its parts into symmetric and equal right and left sides

plane that runs lengthwise from front to back; divides body into left and right sides

kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra

testes, epididymis, cas, deferens, seminal vesicles and prostate gland

Ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus and vagina

heart, blood and vessels

lungs

recognizes invading foreign organisms; prevent their spread and clear them from the body

helps the immune system; spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils and bone marrow

mouth, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach and intestinal tract

hormones; pituitary, pineal, thymus, adrenal, thyroid and parathyroid glands, pancreas, ovaries and testes

brain, spinal cord, nerves and sensory receptors

skeletal muscles

bones
