Study Notes
Anatomical Branches and Planes
-
Applied Anatomy: The study of the structure of the human body in relation to its function, focusing on practical applications in fields like medicine and surgery.
-
Anatomical Position: The standard reference position of the human body, where the individual stands upright with feet together, arms at the sides, and palms facing forward.
Types of Anatomy
-
Radiological Anatomy: The study of the structure of the human body using imaging techniques like X-rays and CT scans.
-
Developmental Anatomy: The study of the formation and development of the human body from embryonic stages to birth.
-
Surface Anatomy: The study of the external features of the human body, focusing on the relationships between internal structures and their external counterparts.
-
Microanatomy: The study of the microscopic structure of the human body, including cells, tissues, and organs.
Anatomical Planes
-
Sagittal (Median) Plane: A vertical plane that divides the body into left and right halves, passing through the midline of the body.
-
Parasagittal (Paramedian) Plane: A vertical plane that divides the body into unequal left and right parts, parallel to the sagittal plane.
-
Coronal Plane: A vertical plane that divides the body into front and back parts, perpendicular to the sagittal plane.
-
Horizontal Plane: A plane that divides the body into upper and lower parts, perpendicular to the vertical planes.
