Cards

Term
Dorsal Body Cavity
Definition
protects the fragile nervous system organs.
Term
condyle
Definition
rounded articular projection
Term
epicondyle
Definition
raised area on or above a condyle.
Term
facet
Definition
smooth, nearly flat articular surface.
Term
foramen
Definition
round or oval opening through a bone.
Term
Fossa
Definition
shallow, basinlike depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface.
Term
meatus
Definition
canal-like passageway
Term
suture
Definition
interlocking joints that firmly unite all bones of the adult skull
Term
trochanter
Definition
very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process (on femur)
Term
trochlea
Definition
acts as a pulley in joints (humerus)
Term
tubercle
Definition
small, rounded projection or process
Term
tuberocity
Definition
large rounded projection; may be roughened
Term
Which ribs have an articulation of rib tubercle?
Definition
thorasic ribs
Term
Order of parts of a vertebra:
Definition
Body
Pedicle
Transverse Process
Lamina
Spinous Process
Term
Synarthroses
Definition
immovable joints
Term
Amphiarthroses
Definition
Slightly movable
Term
Diarthroses
Definition
Freely movable joints
Term
Microscope:


Lense?
Definition
Parfocal
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
Cell shrinks.
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
A solution in which the solute of the concentration is greater than that in the cell cytoplasm. Cells placesd in hypertonic solutions will lose water and will shrivel or crenate.
Term
Crenate
Definition
Shriveling of a cell due to being placed in a hypertonic solution.
Term
Isotonic
Definition
Cell volume remains constant because the solute is the same outside the cell as inside.
Term
Hemolysis
Definition
Rupture of a cell.
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
The concentration of the solution is less than that of the cell cytoplasm. Water enters the cell to maintain homeostasis and the cell will rupture if it's hypotonic enough. It will swell otherwise.
Term
Ventral Body Cavity
Definition
Houses internal organs, collectively called the visceral organs.
Term
Thorasic cavity
Definition
Surrounded by ribs & muscles of the chest.
Term
Pleural Cavities
Definition
Housing a lung and medial mediastinum
Term
Pericardial Cavity
Definition
encloses the heart and it also surrounds the remaining thorasic heart, organs.
Term
Abdominopelvic Cavity
Definition
abdominal cavity plus pelvic cavity.
Term
Abdominal Cavity
Definition
Contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver and other organs.
Term
Meninges
Definition
Three connective tissue membranes that lie just external to CNS organs
Term
Parietal Pleura
Definition
Lines the walls of the thorasic cavity.
Term
Visceral Pleura
Definition
Covers the lungs.
Term
Parietal Peritoneum
Definition
Associated with the walls of the abdominopelvic cavity.
Term
Medial Epicondyle, trochlea, Capitulum, lateral epicondyle
Definition
What's at the bottom of the humerus? (medial to lateral)
Term
Squamosal Suture

Definition
Delimits cell and controls passage of materials in and out of the cell.
Term
Endoplasmic Recticulum
Definition
Transport of materials within a cell.
Term
Endoplasmic Recticulum
Definition
Provides attachment for ribosomes.
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Site of Protein synthesis
Term

Definition
Transformation of energy from food into useable form. (ATP)
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
Digestion.
Term
Vacuoles
Definition
Contain substances that recently entered cell.
Term
Nuclear Membrane
Definition
Delimits nucleus and controls passage of materials in and out of nucleus
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
Forms ribosomal RNA for ribosome production.
Term
Chromatin
Definition
Contains cellular information (DNA) for carrying on life processes
Term
Centriole
Definition
Chromosome distribution during mitosis
Term
Cytoplasm
