    Study Notes

    Introduction to Anatomy

    • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body.
    • It helps us understand how our bodies work.
    • Anatomy can be studied in different ways:
      • Gross anatomy: the study of the structure of the body seen with the naked eye.
      • Histology: the study of tissues using microscopes.
      • Embryology: the study of development starting from a single cell.
    • Clinicians use anatomy to understand disease processes and to make informed treatment decisions.

    Levels of Structural Organization

    • The human body is organized into several levels:
      • Cellular level: basic units of life.
      • Tissue level: groups of similar cells working together.
      • Organ level: different tissues working together to perform a specific function.
      • System level: several organs working together to carry out complex functions.
      • Organism level: the complete living being.

    Systems of the Body

    • The human body is subdivided into several systems based on their functions:
      • Skeletal system: supports and protects the body, composed of bones and cartilage.
      • Articular system: joints, ligaments, and other structures that allow movement.
      • Muscular system: responsible for movement, composed of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles.
      • Digestive system: breaks down food and absorbs nutrients, composed of the alimentary canal and accessory organs.
      • Cardiovascular system: pumps blood throughout the body, transporting oxygen and nutrients and removing waste products.
      • Nervous system: controls and coordinates bodily functions, composed of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
      • Respiratory system: responsible for gas exchange, composed of lungs and airways.
      • Urinary system: filters waste products from the blood and regulates fluid balance.
      • Reproductive system: responsible for sexual reproduction.
      • Integumentary system: the skin, protects the body and regulates temperature.

    Body Regions

    • The body can be divided into several regions:
      • Head: includes the skull and face.
      • Neck: connects the head to the trunk.
      • Trunk:
        • Thorax: chest region.
        • Abdomen: belly region.
        • Pelvis: lower trunk region.
        • Perineum: region between the legs.
      • Upper limbs: arms, forearms, hands.
      • Lower limbs: thighs, legs, feet.

    Anatomical Position

    • The standardized position for describing anatomical structures:
      • Standing upright.
      • Facing forward.
      • Arms by the sides.
      • Palms facing forward.
      • Feet together.
      • Toes pointed forward.

    Body Planes

    • Imaginary planes that divide the body:
      • Sagittal plane: divides the body into right and left sections.
      • Midsagittal plane: a sagittal plane that passes through the midline, dividing the body into equal left and right halves.
      • Frontal (coronal) plane: divides the body into front and back sections.
      • Transverse (horizontal or axial) plane: divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) sections.

    Directional Terms

    • Used to describe the relative position of anatomical structures:
      • Anterior (ventral): towards the front of the body.
      • Posterior (dorsal): towards the back of the body.
      • Superior (cranial): towards the head.
      • Inferior (caudal): towards the feet.
      • Medial: towards the midline of the body.
      • Lateral: away from the midline of the body.
      • Proximal: closer to the origin of the body part or point of attachment.
      • Distal: farther from the origin of the body part or point of attachment.
      • Superficial (external): on or near the surface of the body.
      • Deep (internal): toward the inside of the body.

    Anatomical Terms of Comparison

    • These pairs describe the relative position of body structures:
      • Superficial (external): on or near the surface of the body.
      • Deep (internal): toward the inside of the body.

    Movement Terms

    • Describe the different ways that body parts can move:
      • Flexion: bending or decreasing the angle between bones.
      • Extension: straightening or increasing the angle between bones.
      • Abduction: movement away from the midline.
      • Adduction: movement towards the midline.
      • Medial(internal) rotation: anterior surface of a limb moves towards the midline.
      • Lateral(external) rotation: anterior surface of a limb moves away from the midline.
      • Circumduction: a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
      • Supination: lateral rotation of the forearm, so that the palm faces anteriorly.
      • Pronation: medial rotation of the forearm, so that the palm faces posteriorly.
      • Opposition: movement of the thumb across the palm to touch the fingertips.
      • Inversion: turning the foot sole medially, towards the midline.
      • Eversion: turning the foot sole laterally, away from the midline.
      • Retrusion: backward movement of a body part.
      • Protrusion: forward movement of a body part.
      • Elevation: upward movement of a body part.
      • Depression: downward movement of a body part.
