BIO SCI D170 Study Guide - Final Guide: Anatomical Plane, Human Musculoskeletal System, Cauda Equina
Document Summary
Different branches of anatomy = all intersect with each other. Study as a whole holistically for that specific region (an arm) Apply anatomical knowledge for clinical treatment, diagnosis. How do ailments deviate from normal functions. Why humans are humans (from single cell) Anatomical position = consistent frame of reference. Laterality = we are bilateral (left and right are mirrors) Abduction - moving hand away from body. Nerves: least variable (need to get to the correct location to function) Containment (hold things in place i. e. abdomen) Synthesize vita d (exposure to the sun) Skin = largest organ in the body. Parts of nervous system that relay the information from the environment to nervous system for sensations (pain, touch, heat) Teeth also had their own gsa fibers. Mapping gsa nerve fibers to areas of skin. Axial skeleton = going along the long axis of body. Vertebrae all the way down to sacrum and coccyx. Bones of arms and legs (same organization)
