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
