anatomical relationships
be able to demonstrate and describe
anatomical position
the three orthogonal planes
be able to describe the positions of body parts relative to one another using terms such as medial/lateral,
superior/inferior, dorsal/ventral, superficial/deep, cephalad/craniad/caudad, anterior/posterior, etc.
surface topography and landmarks
be able to relate surface topography and landmarks to underlying organs
what are the contents of each of the four body cavities?
tissues
what are the diagnostic characteristics of each of the four main types of tissues (epithelium, connective tissue,
muscle, and nervous)?
be able to give examples of each tissue type
are organs made of one or more tissues?
skeletons
what are the functions of bone, other than support and protection of organs?
be able to distinguish types of bones on the basis of location (axial vs appendicular), development (endochondral vs
intramembranous), shape (long, short, flat, irregular), and histology (compact vs cancellous)
how do long bones grow?
how does bone reshape itself?
be able to identify all major bones and their parts by sight or description of location
be able to name the articulating bones in a joint
joints
what is the difference between a tendon and a ligament?
what is the characteristic that distinguishes diarthrotic joints from all others?
what is a collateral ligament? - an intraarticular ligament? - a bursa?
movements
distinguish synergists and antagonists
without the help of visual demonstration, verbally describe:
flexion/extension
abduction/adduction
rotation
circumduction
pronation/supination
inversion/eversion
dorsiflexion/plantarflexion
muscles
what type of muscle is found in the heart? - in the wall of the digestive tract? - in skin? - in your arm?
what is the difference between an origin and an insertion
what is fascia?
if given the name of a muscle, be able to identify its location in the body, the movement it produces (identify its
origin and insertion if possible), and be able to name some of its antagonists and synergists
if given the description of a movement, be able to name some muscles that produce it
if given a location in the body, be able to name some muscles located there
you should be able to identify any superficial muscle or its tendon that can be seen or palpated from the surface of an
intact body
what is the difference between an extrinsic and an intrinsic muscle?
