Unit 1 Study Guide Intro to A &P
Intro to A&P
1. Be familiar with the 11 body systems, their basic function, and what basic organs/structures. See pages 8-9 in your packet.
2. Be familiar with the levels of organization in the human body
Homeostasis
1. Know negative vs. positive feedback
Anatomical Terminology Positions and Directions Notes
1. Know the anatomical positions and directions in relation to other structures in the body:
superior/inferior, anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, dorsal/ventral, cranial/caudal, prone/supine, proximal/distal,
superficial/deep
2. Know how anterior/posterior and dorsal/ventral vary in bipeds and quadrupeds
Anatomical Terminology Planes Notes
1. Know the 3 planes frontal, transverse, median/sagittal and how they bisect both quadrupeds and bipeds.
Body Cavity Notes
1. Know the regional terms specifically: cranium, facial, oral, axillary, brachial, antebrachial, carpal, pollex, palmer, digits,
femoral, patella, frontal, orbital, nasal, otic, buccal, cervical, thorax, pes, abdomen, sural, pelvis, manus, tarsal,
hallux, acromial, dorsal, olecranon, lumbar, gluteal, crural, calcaneal, plantar
2. Be familiar with how humans vary and what percentage matches the textbook description
3. Know the divisions of the dorsal and ventral cavity and a basic idea in which cavities major organs belong
4. Know where organs are more protected vs. more vulnerable
5. Understand how the serosa membranes (parietal and visceral) and serous fluid are designed to protect organs from friction,
abrasion, and shock from movement
6. Be familiar with the abdominopelvic quadrants and regions as a tool for diagnosis
Autopsy Lab, Documentary and Article
1. Know the 3 purposes of an autopsy
2. Know the difference between a forensic and hospital (clinical) autopsy
3. Know who performs an autopsy
4. Know what the 3 main phases of an autopsy are
5. Know what 3 parts of the body are examined in a standard autopsy
6. Describe the incision used to open the ventral cavity
7. Know the basic reasons why autopsy rates are declining
8. Know what the benefits of autopsy are
9. Know the basic tools used for dissection and how to use them properly and safely
