Cards

Position of limbs
Proximal: Closest to where limb joins trunk
Ex: Elbow is proximal to wrist = Elbow is closer to where limb joins trunk than elbow
Distal: Part farther away from point of attachment to trunk

-Done to determine cause of death
Term
Body Cavities
Definition
Cranial Cavity
Vertebral Canal
Thoracic Cavity
Diaphragm
Abdominal Cavity
Pelvic Cavity
Why are there all these cavities? To reduce friction between organs as they function and move!
Heart beats ~70 bpm, Lungs expand 15 xpm
Term
Cranial cavity
Definition
Inside head, Superior to all others
Term
Vertebral canal
Definition
Where spinal cord is located, Posterior
(Below is all anterior to vertebral canal)
Term
Thoracic cavity
Definition
-Pericardial cavity: Heart, Center of chest
-Pleural cavity: (green) Where lungs are
-Mediastinum: (yellow) Major tubing to and from heart, Trachea taking air to lungs, Esophagus carrying what you swallow down to stomach
Term
Diaphragm
Definition
Main breathing muscle, between thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity (Inferior to thoracic cavity)
Term
Abdominal cavity
Definition
Peritoneal cavity: Space left over after filling with organs, Filled with serous fluid, Not much
Abdominal Cavity: Empty space, Like at an autopsy
Visceral peritoneum: Serous membrane covering outermost surface of intestines, liver, stomach
Parietal peritoneum: Innermost covering of abdominal wall
Term
Pelvic cavity
Definition
Urinary, Internal reproductive organs, Lower part of digestive system
Term
Pericardial cavity
(basic)
Definition
Heart, Center of chest
[Thoracic Cavity]
Term
Pleural cavity
(basic)
Definition
Where lungs are
[Thoracic cavity]
Term
Mediastinum
Definition
Major tubing to and from heart, Trachea taking air to lungs, Esophagus carrying what you swallow down to stomach
[Thoracic cavity]
Term
Pericardial cavity
Definition
Heart, surrounded by space, surrounded by lining made of serous membrane
-Internal lining same as external lining (serous membrane)
-Parietal pericardium (Parietal = around body wall) (pericardium=around heart) Innermost layer of body wall before heart organ itself
-Visceral pericardium (visceral=internal organs) Direct contact w/heart, Outermost covering of heart
-What you are looking at before the actual heart muscle)
Both are made of the same material
Pericardial cavity: Between BOTH, Filled with Serous fluid
Term
Parietal pericardium
Definition
(Parietal = around body wall) (pericardium=around heart) Innermost layer of body wall before heart organ itself
[Pericardial cavity>Thoracic cavity]
Term
Visceral pericardium
Definition
(visceral=internal organs) Direct contact w/heart, Outermost covering of heart
-What you are looking at before the actual heart muscle)
Both are made of the same material
[Pericardial cavity>Thoracic cavity]
Term
Serous Fluid
Definition
Lubricant, Watery/low viscosity, Made of cells from parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium
Term
Serous membrane
Definition
Parietal pericardium/Visceral pericardium made of this, These cells produce serous fluid
Term
Pleural cavity
Definition
Surrounding space of lungs, Between Visceral pleura and Parietal pleura
Term
Visceral pleural
Definition
Outermost covering of lung organ
[Pleural cavity>Thoracic cavity]
Term
Parietal pleura
Definition
Innermost covering of rib cage/body wall
[Pleural cavity>Thoracic cavity]
Term
Peritoneal cavity

Term
Inflammatory Response
Definition
“Cleanup and repair process”
-Red: Increase in blood supply to area, Blood cells loaded with oxygen, WBC phagocytize injury to clean up/repair
-Bruise: Black/blue discoloration of skin, Blood cells given off oxygen to turn purple, giving tint
-Swelling: Due to increased blood supply (red, white, plasma, nutrients/enzymes for healing) area increases in size
-:Increase diameter of blood vessels to bring in more blood
- Pleural Cavity: Tissue where extra blood is stored doesn’t exist, so temporary storage during healing process is in this potential space  Real space
Where blood/blood fluids are stored while area heals
Ex: Pneumonia in lungs
-Recovery: Swelling goes away, Blood cells no longer needed leave area, Space disappears until next sick
Term

Term
Congestive Heart Failure
+Define
+Who?
+Treat
Definition
Area around heart congested with fluid, Respiratory infection from breathing in virus, Create real space around lungs, Fill all available space, Isn’t enough room for heart to expand/contract normally
-Lungs, heart don’t have space to expand/contract normally due to chest filled with fluid
Organs shut down and die
-Elderly individuals prone to congestive heart failure
Every part of body becomes less efficient, More prone to infection from bacteria/virus
Bring fluid into Thoracic cavity (which holds Pericardium and Pleura)
If you don’t treat it = Compromise lung, heart function and die
-Treat: Lasix (water pills-make you urinate out bodily fluids) reducing inflammation
Term
Mucus
Definition
Healthy-Watery material lining Lumen of all canals that have access to the outside world, Lubricant
-Traps microorganisms/dirt inhaled/entering cavity to keep out of body
-Color signifies what disease one could have/Health status
-Thick signifies trapping dirt = Sickness indication
