Eye Anatomical Terms Explanation - LESSON 266

-
In the travel of learning free medical transcription course, we are going to learn about anatomical terms explanations of eyes. As a medical transcriptionist student, you should know about all the anatomy and physiology, not like a medical student for surgical purpose, but you should know something basic 
information about them. We explained something in the prior lesson about this topic about what is accomodation, anterior chamber, aqueous humor, biconvex, layer of choroid, ciliary body, cones, conjuctiva, cornea, fovea centralis, fundus of the eyes, lens, iris, macula, optic chiasm, and optic disk. In this lesson, we will learn about, optic nerve, posterior chamber, pupil, refraction, retina of the eyes, rods, sclera, vitreous chamber, vitreous humor one by one. Okay.

Optic Nerve: The other name of optic nerve is cranial nerve 2, which receives and delivers eye sight messages to the brain from the part of cerebral cortex from the retina of the eye.

Posterior Chamber: This is a narrow area behind the iris, which contains a liquid called aqueous humor. Posterior chamber is situated in the front side of the lens's suspensory ligament, as well as ciliary processes.

Pupil: This is a dark hole that situated at the central portion of the iris. The light passes through the eye is taken in by the tissues present here. In simple, pupil is the entrance of the eye.

Refraction: An image is formed inside the eye through the process of refraction. By way of lens and cornea, the entered light rays from the pupil are bended and targeted towards the retina and so we can feel visual sensation of lights.


Retina: This is a tissue lining that is responsive to the light waves that is present inside surface of the eye. Retina consists of color receptor cells called cones and rods.

Rods: These are cells present inside the eye that are photoreceptor cells. Rods are present inside the retina. These rods absorbs mainly black and white waves and so we can see at night.

Sclera: Each eye contains an external coat in the eyeball called sclera, which is very tough in structure. We can see this portion outside and this is also called as 'white of the eye. This hard layer performs as the protective cover of the eye made up of elastic fibers and collagen.

Vitreous Chamber: This chamber occupies about four fold place in five of the eyeball area. This chamber is present between the retina and the lens.

Vitreous Humor: It is a gel-like material present inside the viterous chamber and named as vitreous humor.

HUMAN BONE STRUCTURE - LESSON 200

-
Now in this post we will learn about the structure of the bone. In our human body there are 206 bones of different types are there. The thigh, lower leg, and upper and lower arm consists of long bones. These bones have large surface areas for muscle attachment and are very strong, are broad at the ends where they join with other bones. There are five types of bones in the human body. The five types are long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid. 1. Long bones:- These bones are comprised mostly of compact bone and lower amounts marrow, which is located within the medullary cavity, and spongy bone and are characterized by a shaft, the diaphysis, that is much larger in length than breadth. These bones are mostly present in the limbs, including those of the fingers and toes are long bones. Except the wrist, ankle, and kneecap these long bones are located in most. 2. Short bones:- These short bones are generally cube shaped and having a thin layer of compact bone surrounding a...

IMPORTANT RADIOLOGY NUCLEAR MEDICINE TERMS-3-LESSON 148

-
1. Magnetic resonance imaging- A magnetic ground radio signals are used to outline sagittal, coronal, and axial pictures of the body. 2. Megavoltage- High-energy radiation engendered by means of an equipment and employed in restorative x-ray analysis intended for cancer. 3. Nuclear medicine- This is a medical speciality, which examines and employs of radioactive materials called radionuclides within identification and treatment of ailment. 4. Orthovoltage- Emission of low-energy radioactive waves that are employed in pain-killing radiation therapy and exterior skin cancer diseases. 5. Palliative- Means just soothing or painkilling, not curing completely that is not possible. 6. PET scan or positron emission tomography- Radioactive materials are administered using intravenous route and these substances give out positrons. They generate a cross-sectional picture of the metabolism of the body. These images symbolize local concentration of the radio...

The Longest Medical Word

Image
Today, we will know about an interesting medical term in medical language. This post is just to know about a different thing in the medical language, though this word is used very rarely in our day-to-day medical transcription work. The longest medical word is "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"!!!!!. Can you read at least Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.  Now, we will see the meaning of this word.  To know the meaning shall we split the word by word. Okay.  1.  Pneumono 2.  Ultramicrosopic 3.  Silico 4.  Volcano 5.  Conosis. So, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis comprises of 5 medical words and in combination, they give a meaning of a certain kind of disease condition related to lungs.  Now, we will see the meaning of each to get the combined understanding of the longest medical word. Pneumono means lungs, ultramicroscopic - means minute, silico means silicon, volc...
