Cards (63)

  • What are the key structures and functions of the respiratory system shown in the image?
    • Trachea: Main airway
    • Bronchi: Branches off trachea
    • Bronchioles: Smaller branches of bronchi
    • Lungs: Site of gas exchange
    • Ribs: Protect the lungs

    Stomach, liver, intestines, pancreas, spleen
  • Where is the thoracic cavity located?
    Above the diaphragm

    Major digestive organs
  • What are the limitations of the information provided in this image?
    It does not include details about individual variations in human anatomy
  • What protects the pelvic region?
    Pelvic bones
  • What is the name of the structure that surrounds the abdominal organs?
    Rib cage
  • How are the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities separated?
    • Separated by the diaphragm
    • Thoracic organs protected by rib cage
    • Abdominopelvic organs supported by abdominal muscles and pelvic bones
  • How does the protection of the abdomen differ from that of the pelvis?
    Abdomen is protected by ribs, pelvis by bones
  • What are the main cavities in the human body and what do they contain?
    • Cranial cavity: Contains the brain
    • Thoracic cavity: Contains the heart and lungs
    • Abdominal cavity: Contains the digestive organs
    • Pelvic cavity: Contains the reproductive and urinary organs
  • How is the ventral cavity separated from the dorsal cavity?
    By the vertebral column
  • What organs are housed in the thoracic cavity?
    Heart and lungs
  • What is the diaphragm?
    A strong muscle separating the cavities
  • What are the smaller branches of the bronchi called?
    Bronchioles
  • What is the primary function of the ventral cavity?
    To protect internal organs and allow movement
  • What is the ventral cavity?
    Large, fluid-filled space in the front
  • What is the approximate height of the person shown in the image?
    Not specified
  • What is the name of the muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities?
    Diaphragm
  • What do the lateral compartments of the thoracic cavity contain?
    The lungs
  • What are the three main compartments of the thoracic cavity?
    1. Central mediastinum
    • Holds the heart, esophagus, and trachea
    1. Two lateral compartments
    • Contain the lungs
    1. Outer pleural cavities
    • Surround each lung
  • What are the main parts of the respiratory system shown in the image?
    • Trachea
    • Bronchi
    • Bronchioles
    • Lungs
    • Ribs
    • Diaphragm
  • What is the name of the main airway in the respiratory system?
    Trachea
  • Why are the body parts labeled in the image?
    To identify the key anatomical structures
  • How does the position of the abdominal organs differ between the "in situ" and "greater omentum" images?
    The abdominal organs are more spread out and have greater momentum in the "greater omentum" image compared to the "in situ" image
  • What is the abdominopelvic cavity?
    Inferior part of the ventral cavity
  • What is the thoracic cavity?
    Superior part of the ventral cavity
  • What does the central mediastinum contain?
    Heart, esophagus, and trachea
  • What insights about human anatomy can be gained from this image?
    • The image shows the general proportions and relative positioning of key body parts.
    • It highlights how the head, torso, and limbs are interconnected and aligned.
  • What supports the organs in the abdominopelvic cavity?
    Abdominal muscles and pelvic bones support them
  • How many lateral compartments are in the thoracic cavity?
    Two
  • How do the organs in the thoracic cavity differ from those in the abdominopelvic cavity?
    Thoracic organs include heart and lungs; abdominopelvic includes stomach and liver
  • What protects the organs in the thoracic cavity?
    The rib cage protects thoracic organs
  • What are the organs found in the thoracic cavity?
    Heart, lungs, trachea, esophagus, thymus
  • What protects the abdominal region?
    Ribs and abdominal muscles
  • What are the structures that branch off from the trachea?
    Bronchi
