Study Notes
Anatomical Terminology
- Anatomy is the study of the body's structure, using dissection (cutting up)
- A human is composed of many cell types, creating tissues and then organs
- Anatomy means "cut up" or "cut open"
- The human body is made of 100 trillion cells, 206 bones, 600 muscles, and nearly 78 organs
- These words are used for describing body structures
- Anatomical terms are grouped into position, direction, and movement
Anatomical Terms Related to Position
- The anatomical position is when the body is standing upright, facing forward, arms at the side, and palms forward
- Body is standing erect
- Palms of the hand and eyes are looking forward
- Arms by the sides of the trunk
- Legs are close together
