Smooth muscle

non-striated, uninucleate, small spindle cells, forms tunica media (inside/middle layer of an artery or vein) Under INVOLUNTARY control (controlled by the Autonomic Nervous System) Functions include vessel contraction, GI peristalsis, pupil constriction, ureter peristalsis

articular cartilage

on surface of bones in synovial joints, covers the surfaces of bones where they come together to form joints

Regional Anatomy

organized by body areas/regions (thorax, abdomen, upper extremities) Way WE will study based on body regions cooperative body regions, much more realistic

Systemic anatomy

organized by the organ systems (nervous, cardiovascular, pulmonary) Unrealistic- body systems don't function in a vacuum- they all function together and are related

Compact bone

outer layer of bone is this, dense arrangement of bone matrix, prevents compression and bending bones have varying level of this depending on the bone it is

Surface Anatomy

parts that are visible or palpable from the surface (very important in physical exams) Ex. Snuff box- where you can palpate scaphoid bone- common area for fractures- know to order an xray of wrist and look at that area to confirm

Midsaggital

plane that cuts the body into left and right laterally (If through the exact center)

Parasaggital

plane that cuts the body into left and right laterally (if cut anywhere other than the center)

Sarcolemma

plasma membrane of a muscle fiber

Fenestrated capillaries

pores in epithelial lining allowing for easier absorption - intestines must have more permeability in intestines for quick absorption of nutrients, ions

basal cells (of epidermis)

produce new cells that harden and flatten as they are pushed to the surface by cells forming underneath them. At bottom of epidermis, and down in parts of dermis have these- they divide all day long to create new skin cells (deeper burns that damage these need skin grafts to fix because new skin cells cannot be created)

Red marrow function

produces blood cells, thick, bloodlike material found in flat bones and the ends of long bones; location of red blood cell formation- produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

Yellow marrow function

produces/stores fat and produces cartilage

Bursa

Fluid filled sac in synovial joints, cushion between bone and tendon or bone and muscle

keratin importance

Helps to form the rigidity of the skin and help create the barrier protection, keratinized cells are full of this protein

Small arteries and arterioles

bring blood into capillary beds

Atherosclerosis

buildup of fat and plaques in arteries that leads to narrowing and reduced blood flow Happens in patients with high cholesterol- cholesterol builds up and causes an inflammatory reaction that happens Causes blood flow to become more irregular/more turbulent Finally, thrombosis formation can occur.... causing MI, Stroke, Gangrene due to lack of blood circulation in that tissue causing tissue cell death (problem arrises when clot gets to smaller vessels- fine in bigger vessels but it'll eventually get to a vessel so small it blocks it- then none of the tissues downstream get blood flow any longer).

lymphoma

Short bones

cuboidal, bones of the wrist and ankles

2nd Degree Burn

damage that extends through the epidermis and into the dermis, causing blisters to form; scarring may occur- more pain, basal cells still present and reproduce, healing process longer

3rd Degree Burn

damage to the entire epidermis and dermis, and possibly some underlying tissue- REQUIRES grafting because no basal cells remain

lymphoid system

defends against infection and disease; returns tissue fluid to the bloodstream spleen, thymus, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, tonsils

A clear fluid made up mostly of white blood cells that flow through the body, comes from interstitial fluid- gets drained into lymphatic vessels

Osteoporosis

A condition in which the body's bones become weak and break easily- brittle, a reduction of bone mass Bone tissue becomes less and less Females more likely to get due to drop in sex hormones as they age (menopause)

9%

Anterior thorax

Tension lines

Appear as folds in the skin during movement ex. forehead lines Alert to orientation of collagen fibers- tell us direction collagen in our skin is going Incisions parallel to these will gape less, disrupt fewer collagen fibers, and will heal better with less scarring- cut along/with forehead line wound will not pull open as much- heal with only a fine scar, if cut across rows of fibers wound will gape, and heal in a broad, thick scar

4.5% each (9% total)

large (elastic), medium (muscular), small (arteries and arterioles)

Three kinds of arteries

Rule of 9's

Used to calculate the percentage of body surface burned- estimate what percentage of body was effected by the burns. For children and babies, head accounts for larger percentage and the legs are less MORE IMPORTANT INDICATOR OF PATIENT OUTCOMES INFECTION huge concern, PAIN, DEHYDRATION (FLUIDS running continuously), b/c of tissue damage SHOCK occurs= drop in blood pressure

Large veins, medium veins, venules (large to small)

What are the 3 kinds of veins?

Ipsilateral

What do you call something that occurs/located on the same side (of body)

Affected nodes and nodes upstream removed

What happens when metastasis of lymph nodes occurs?

Varicose veins (due to blood pooling)

What happens when one way valves in the legs fail? Abnormally swollen veins Veins lose elasticity and dilate- stretch out and valves stop working Venous valves are incompetent allowing more pooling of blood

Why are lymph nodes a common site for cancer metastasis?

Females, sex hormones

___________ most at risk of developing osteoporosis- because of decrease in ___________, after menopause. These maintain bone density

Accessory Bones

develop when additional ossification centers appear and form extra bones- Ex. Os Trigonum: accessory bone to the talus Commonly in feet Usually problematic- when they grow too big and cause pain (then remove)- most people don't know they have

Large Elastic Arteries

elasticity of these arteries allows for expansion during pressure change when blood flows through need to be able to stretch (Aorta)

Distal

farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk

Spleen

filters blood and produces white blood cells

Flat bones

flat, rounded bones that offer protection- sternum, frontal bone in skull

Sesamoid bones (a sesame seed shape)

round bones found near joints (e.g. the patella) develop inside tendons variable in number and location, develop in conjunction w tendons and tendon pulls over bone- gives attachment muscle more strength as it pulls an tendon slides over the bone

Dermis

trabeculae

supporting bundles of bony fibers in cancellous (spongy) bone

Smooth muscle (location)

surround hollow organs and blood vessels

Epimycium

surrounds whole muscle

lymphedema

swelling due to an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid within the tissues, lymph drainage is blocked from a limb, buildup of interstitial fluid, Ex. after removal of cancerous axillary nodes, this of the ARM may occur (normally fluid from the arm drains from lymph node in armpit back into the blood- when they are removed can't do it anymore and arm swelling/pain occurs)

Lymphedema

swelling due to an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid within the tissues- lymph drainage is blocked from the limb causing a buildup of interstitial fluid - Ex. after removal of cancerous axillary nodes, this of the arm may occur

costal cartilage

the cartilages that connect the sternum and the ends of the ribs

Anatomical position (describe)

used to describe all features/directions, even if the patient is not actually in this position. This is for clarity and to avoid ambiguity when talking about a wound position, etc no matter is patient is on side, back, etc. The patient is standing erect with arms at their side, palms facing out, lower limbs straight and close together, feet parallel and toes directed anteriorly Use the PATIENT's Left and Right Ex. would 1 in. inferior to the patient's right nipple

Clinical Anatomy

uses all of these forms to emphasize clinical application and the practice of medicine parts very important to practice of medicine Ex. axis bone fracture (type I, II, III) Not just what type, asking what happens when we fracture this vertebra, what we call these fractures, what type of accident causes each type, danger of this fracture, how to treat?

Cardiac muscle (location)

walls of the heart
