UMBILICAL REGION
the area around the umbilicus; sections of the small & large intestines, inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta

EPIGASTRIC REGION
it is superior to the umbilical region; most of the pancreas, portions of the stomach, liver, inferior vena cava, abdominal aorta and duodenum

HYPOGASTRIC REGION
it is inferior to the umbilical region; it is the pubic area

RIGHT AND LEFT ILIAC REGIONS
either side of the hypogastric region; inguinal regions

RIGHT AND LEFT LUMBAR REGIONS
either side of the umbilical region; the loin regions

RIGHT AND LEFT HYPOCHONDRIAC REGIONS
either side of the epigastric region

epiphyseal line
an epiphyseal plate that stops growing in length and becomes ossified

red marrow cavity
small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow

nutrient artery
found in the periosteum; an artery that supplies the medullary cavity of the long bone

medullary cavity
hollow center of a long bone; large cavity within the diaphysis

Articular cartilage
a type of hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints, has no perichondrium, blood vessels, or nerves

compact bone
solid, outer layer surrounding each bone; has more matrix and is denser with fewer pores, lamellae is primarily oriented around blood vessels

yellow marrow
type of bone present in the medullary cavity in adults

periosteum
outer, double-layered connective tissue membrane with ligaments and tendons attached to bone; blood vessels and nerve pathways

spongy bone
consists of interconnecting rods or plates of bone called trabeculae, surrounded by compact bone, less bone matrix and space than compact bone

diaphysis
center portion of a long bone, composed primarily of compact bone

endosteum
thin connective tissue membrane lining the inner (medullary) cavities of bone

canaliculi
minute canals connecting osteocytes of an osteon

central canal
longitudinal canal carrying blood vessels and nerves

concentric lamellae
layers of bony matrix lining the central canal

lacunae
site of osteocytes

matrix
inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance
epidermis
a stratified squamous epithelium with no blood vessels; prevents water loss and resist abrasion
dermis
composed of dense collagenous tissue; responsible for skin’s structural strength
subcutaneous tissue/ hypodermis
attaches skin to bone; serves as shock absorber and insulates deeper tissues from extreme temperature changes

stratum basale
have cells that undergo mitosis every 19 days; takes 40-56 days before cells reach the surface

stratum spinosum
8-10 spiny-appearing cells with elongated edges; keratin fibers and lamellar bodies accumulate

stratum granulosom
2-5 layers of flattened diamond-shaped cells; keratohyalin accumulates in cells

stratum lucidum
thin zone of dead keratinocytes; most exposed to friction
stratum corneum
at least 25 layers of dead cells joined together by desmosomes; layer that sloughs off dead squamous cells

dermal papillae
allows blood to supply nutrients, remove waste products, help regulate temp.
papillary layer
top layer of dermis
reticular layer
bottom layer of dermis; orientation of fibers produce cleavage lines, tension lines, Langer’s lines

hair
dense and covers most of the body surface; s found everywhere on the skin except the palms, the soles, the lips, the nipples, parts of the external genitalia, and the distal segments of the fingers and toe
