are each of the body cavities naturally defined coelomic cavities?
define peritoneum
what kind of tissues are the pleura and pericardium?
what is a mesentery?
what is the falciform ligament? the transverse mesocolon?
which organs are retroperitoneal?
what are the relationships of the omenta and epiploic foramen to the sacs of the abdominal cavity?
define the mediastina
Digestive System
what are the tissue layers that characterize the digestive tract?
name the digestive organs and glands -what are the functions of each?
where are they located (with respect to body cavities and surface landmarks)?
Respiratory System
differentiate the terms ventilation and respiration
what muscle are active in ventilation?
describe the organs of the respiratory tract
what is the anatomical relationship of the trachea to the esophagus? -how do they differ structurally
relate the terms sinus, concha, and meatus to one another
describe the larynx and its parts -what are the vocal cords, really?
describe how the respiratory tract is protected during swallowing
the respiratory and digestive tracts share common paths
what is the importance of pulmonary surfactant?
what is the difference between visceral and parietal pleura?
what are pleural reflections? -relate their positions to surface anatomy
what is the hilus of the lung, and what passes through it?
are the right and left lungs symmetrical?
identify the lobes of the lungs
what is the nerve supply to the respiratory diaphragm? -from what spinal level does it arise?
Circulatory System
what are the tissue layers that characterize blood vessels?
relate the distribution of different muscle types to function in the circulatory system
what are the differences between arteries and veins?
what is the significance of capillaries?
describe the separation of systemic and pulmonary circulation
describe differences in adult and fetal circulation with respect to the hepatic and pulmonary systems
what type of tissue is blood? why is it classified as such?
what are the cellular components of blood?
where are blood cells formed? -where are they destroyed?
