Front Back
Skeletal System
bones,joints, and cartilage provides support and protection
Endocrine System
Pancreas, Thyroid, hypothalamus, pineal gland, adrenal gland, testes, ovaries, thymus, pituitary gland, parathyroid gland and pancreas Regulates the body by releasing hormones into the blood
Digestive System
mouth, salivary gland, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, large and small intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, rectum, and anus. Physical and chemical breakdown of food and waste elimination
Urinary Stystem
Kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra. Waste excretion, balances acid/base, and electrolytes, and regulates fluid in the body.
Lymphatic System
Lymph nodes, lymph vessel, pharyngeal tonsil, palatine tonsil, lingual tonsil, thymus, thoracic ducts, spleen. Transports fats and proteins, to the cardiovascular system and filters blood and protects against disease.
Respiratory System
Pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, lungs, nasal and oral cavity. Brings in O2 and eliminates CO2, and regulates acid/base balance
Reproductive System
women: mammary gland, vagina, uterus, uterine tube, ovary men: ductus deferens, seminal vesicle, prostate, penis, testes, and epididymus. Responsible for reproduction
Cardiovascular System
Blood vessels: hears, arteries, veins Brings blood and nutrients to places throughout body, regulates temperature and water balance.
Nervous System
Brain, nerves, and spinal cord Senses and responds to body conditions through nerve impulses
Muscular System
Skeletal muscles, and tendons Produces heat needed by body, and works with skeletal system to move and maintain posture
Integumentary System
Skin, hair, oil and sweat glands, and finger and toe nails. Protection, regulates temperature, and eliminates waste.

3 main cavities
Dorsal, Ventral and Abdonmopelvic
What cavities are in the Dorsal Cavities and what do they contain?
Cranial Cavity--brain and sense organs (eyes and hearing organs) Vertebral Cavity--spinal cord
What cavities are in the Ventral cavity?
Thoracic and Abdomnopelvic
The protective tissue that surrounds the cranial cavity and the vertebral canal
meninges
What does the Thoracic Cavity contain?
Pleural Cavity--each surrounds a lung: the serous membrane is the pleura Pericardial Cavity--Surrounds the heart; the serous membrane is the pericardium. Mediastinum--Located between the pleural cavities. Sternum to vertebral column- first rib to diaphragm. holds the heart, thymus, esop…
What cavities does the Abdomnopelvic Cavity contain, and what do they contain?
Abdominal Cavity--Stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small and most of large intestine; serous membrane is the peritoneum Pelvic Cavity--Urinary bladder, some of the large intestine and the reproductive organs.
What forms the cranial cavity?
the cranial bones
what forms the vertebral canal?
the bones of the vertebral column
what forms the thoracic cavity and what does it do?
sternum, ribs, and the thoracic region of the vertebral column. It stabilizes the internal and external muscles of the chest?
Abdominal cavity contains:
stomach, liver, spleen, gallbladder, small and large intestines.
Pelvic Cavity contains:
reproductive organs, part of the large intestine, and the urinary bladder.
whats the difference between visceral and parietal layers?
visceral layers cover organs, and parietal layers line the cavity walls
What are the 3 membranes and what do they do?
pleural--there are two per lung. the visceral pleura lines covers the lungs, and the parietal pleura covers the walls of the parietal cavity pericardium-- the visceral pericardium covers the heart, and the parietal pericardium lines the walls of the pericardial cavity. peritoneal--visce…
oral cavity contains:
tongue and teeth
orbital cavity contains
eyeballs, and nerve and blood vessels
middle ear cavity contains:
small bones of the middle ear
what are synovial cavities:
found in freely moveable joints like the large joints of the shoulder and hip.
what are the 4 quadrants of the abdomnopelvic region?
right, and left upper, right and left lower. (RUQ, LUQ, RLQ and LLQ)
what does the ruq contain?
liver
what does the LUQ contain?
spleen and left kidney
what does the RLQ contain?
appendix
what does the LLQ contain?
left ovary
what are the 9of the abdomnopelvic regions?
Right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right inguinal, hypogastric, and left inguinal.
what are some benefits of using medical imaging?
allows for visualizations of the internal structures of the body. Diagnosis of disorders x-rays have been used since the 1940's
what is Radiography?
uses an x-ray to produce images of interior structure. inexpensive and quick. the rays pass easily through soft, non dense material (appear black), and do not pass through dense material, so bones appear white.
what is an MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protons in body fluid alight with magnetic field. Allows study of normal v abnormal body tissues (tumors, brain abnormalities, and blood flow)
what is a CT-Scan?
Computed Tomography--many x-rays are taken to show part or whole body in varying degrees of grey scale. used to study soft tissue in more detail.
what is sonography?
ultrasound scanning -- send out high sound waves to produce an image.
Non invasive diagnostic techniques
Palpation is gently touching body surfaces with hands. Auscultation is listening to body sounds (stethoscope). Percussion is tapping on the body surface with fingertips and listening to echoes.
