Presentation Transcript

  1. Medical Terminology Body Organization

  2. Biological Organization Cell - the basic unit of life Tissue - a group of like cells that work together to perform a function Organ - a group of tissues that work together to perform a function

  3. Biological Organization Organ system - a group of organs that work together to perform a function (functions) Organism - an entire living thing

  4. Biological Organization There are four types of tissue found in humans: • epithelial • connective • muscle • nervous

  5. Biological Organization There are a variety of organs that make up eleven different human organ systems

  6. Anatomical Positions & Directions Anatomists, those in the medical community and others use directional terms to describe body positions and directions

  7. Anatomical Positions & Directions These directional and positional terms are applied using the standard anatomical position

  8. Anatomical Positions & Directions Planes • frontal • transverse • median (sagittal) Frontal Median Transverse

  9. Anatomical Positions & Directions Anatomical directions: • anterior (ventral) • posterior (dorsal) Frontal

  10. Anatomical Positions & Directions Anatomical directions: • superior (cephalic) • inferior (caudal) Transverse

  11. Anatomical Positions & Directions Anatomical directions: • lateral • medial • proximal • distal Median

  12. Anatomical Directions

  13. Anatomical Positions & Directions External regions: • RUQ • LUQ • RLQ • LLQ

  14. Anatomical Positions & Directions • Internal regions: • hypochondriac • epigastric • lateral • umbilical • • hypogastric • • inguinal

  15. Anatomical Positions & Directions • Body cavities: • dorsal • - cranial • - vertebral • ventral • - thoracic • - abdominal • - pelvic

  16. Anatomical Positions & Directions Thoracic cavity: • pleural • pericardial • mediastinum Diaphragm

  17. Body Membranes The membranes that line the body cavities and cover the internal organs are named for the organs or regions that they cover

  18. Body Membranes Membranes that line the body cavities are called parietal membranes Membranes that cover internal organs are called visceral membranes

  19. Body Membranes

  20. Body Membranes

  21. Anatomical Positions & Directions • Some common root words and combining forms: • abdomin(o) (abdomen) • thorac(o) (chest) • • cephal(o) (head) • • encephal(o) (brain) • • viscer(o) (visceral)

  22. Anatomical Positions & Directions • Some common root words and combining forms: • omphal(o) (umbilicus) • pelv(i) (pelvis) • • caud(o) (tail) • • acr(o) (extremities) • dactyl(o) (digits)

  23. Anatomical Positions & Directions Be able to recognize or write the meanings of the abbreviations at the end of the chapter
