WEEK 1

• COC TOOSO - Chemical, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
• epithelial cells cover or line internal structures, blood vessel linings
• connective tissues are cells separated by lots of extracellular material like bone
• muscle tissue is contractile and responsible for movement
• neural tissue conducts signals like the peripheral nerve
• the anatomical position is a whole body position used as a reference point when describing the location of anything in the body
• anatomical position is HEAPS LF - head level, eyes gazing forwards, arms by side, palms facing forwards, legs close together and feet forward and parallel
• coronal/frontal plane vertically divides body into front and back
• sagittal plane vertically divides body into left and right (uneven)
• midsagittal/median plane vertically divides through midline left and right (even)
• transverse / horizontal plane divides horizontal line through body
• anterior/ventral is towards front of body
• posterior/dorsal is towards back of body
• superior/cephalic is towards the head
• inferior/caudal is towards the tail
• proximal is closer to structures origin
• distal is further from structures origin
• medial is towards midline of body
• lateral is away from midline of body
• superficial is closer to body surface
• deep is further from body surface
• sagittal plane is transverse axis is flexion and extension
• coronal plane is anteroposterior axis is abduction and adduction
• transverse plane is longiudinal axis is medial and lateral rotation
• flexion is bending to decrease angle of joint
• extension is straightening to increase angle of joint
• abduction is away from body midline
• adduction is towards body midline
• midline of fingers is middle finger
• medial/internal rotation is when anterior turns medially (into body)
• lateral/external rotation is when anterior turns laterally (away)
• pronation is when palm faces posteriorly and radius over ulna
• supination is when pam faces anteriorly (anatomical position)
• plantarflexion is planting toes down
• dorsiflexion is toes up heels down
• inversion is turning foot in (medial)
• eversion is turning foot out (lateral)
• long bones are longer than wide, phalanges
• short bones are cube shaped, carpal bones
• flat bones are protective, scapula
