Snell Clinical Anatomy By Regions (Review Questions)|Already Graded 2024
The deep part, the dermis - ansComposed of dense connective tissue containing
many blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.
Has considerable variation in thickness in different parts of the body, tending to be
thinner on the anterior than on the posterior surface.
It is thinner in women than in men.
The superficial part, the epidermis - ansStratified epithelium whose cells become
flattened as they mature and rise to the surface.
On the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, this is extremely thick (to
withstand the wear and tear that occurs in these regions)
On the anterior surface of the arm and forearm, it is thin
Abduction - ansmovement of a limb away from the midline of the body in the coronal
plane.
In the fingers and toes, abduction is applied to the spreading of these structures
Adduction - ansmovement of a limb toward the body in the coronal plane.
Adduction is applied to the drawing together of these structures (fingers and toes)
Anatomic position - ansThe person is standing erect, with the upper limbs by the
sides and the face and palms of the hands directed forward
Anatomy - ansthe science of the structure and
function of the body.
anterior - ansfront of the body
To describe the relationship of two structures, one is said to be anterior or posterior
to the other insofar as it is closer to the anterior or posterior body surface.
Basic anatomy - ansthe study of the minimal amount of
anatomy consistent with the understanding of the overall structure and function of
the body
Circumduction - ansis the combination in sequence of the movements of flexion,
extension, abduction, and adduction
Clinical anatomy. - ansthe study of the macroscopic structure

and function of the body as it relates to the practice of medicine and other health
sciences.
Contralateral - ansRefers to opposite sides of the body
For example: The left biceps brachii muscle and the right rectus femoris muscle are
contralateral.
Coronal Planes - ansThese planes are imaginary vertical planes at right angles to the
median plane
Eversion - ansopposite movement of the foot so that the sole faces in a lateral
direction
Extension - ansMeans straightening the joint and usually takes place in a posterior
direction.
Flexion - ansMovement that takes place in a sagittal plane.
For example:
flexion of the elbow joint approximates the anterior surface of the forearm to the
anterior
surface of the arm. It is usually an anterior movement, but it is occasionally
posterior, as in the case of the knee joint
Freely movable joints - ans(shoulder joint)
Horizontal, or Transverse, Planes - ansThese planes are at right angles to both the
median and the coronal planes
Internal and External - ansare used to describe the relative distance of a structure
from the center of an organ or cavity
For example:
1. The internal carotid artery is found inside the cranial cavity
2. The external carotid artery is found outside the cranial cavity.
Inversion - ansmovement of the foot so that the sole faces in a medial direction
Ipsilateral - ansRefers to the same side of the body
For example: The left hand and the left foot are ipsilateral.
Joint. - ansA site where two or more bones come together
Joints with no movement - ans(sutures of the skull)
Joints with slight movement - ans(superior tibiofibular joint)
Lateral - ansA structure that lies farther away from the median plane than another
, Snell Clinical Anatomy By Regions (Review Questions)|Already Graded 2024
Lateral flexion - ansMovement of the trunk in the
coronal plane
Lateral rotation - ansMovement that results in the anterior surface of the part facing
laterally.
Medial - ansA structure situated nearer to the median plane of the body than another.
Medial rotation - ansThe movement that results in the anterior surface of the part
facing medially.
