Study Notes
- Frontal or Coronal Plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.
- Transverse Plane divides the body or limbs into upper and lower parts.
- Median (midsagittal) plane is a vertical plane passing longitudinally through the body's center, dividing it into right and left equal halves.
- Sagittal planes are vertical planes passing through the body parallel to the median plane.
Skin
- Skin is the body tissue's outside covering, accounting for 12% of body weight.
- Skin consists of a superficial cellular layer, the epidermis, a tough protective outer surface, and a basal (deep) layer, the dermis.
- Key components of the skin include the epidermis, dermis, cutaneous tissue, hair shaft, sebaceous gland, blood vessel, hair follicle, and hair root.
Fascia
- Fascia is connective tissue surrounding muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, binding these structures together.
- It consists of a superficial fascia and a deep fascia.
