Study Notes
Introduction to Anatomy
- Anatomy studies the structure of animals at macroscopic and microscopic levels.
- The term is derived from the Greek word "anatemnein," meaning to dissect.
- Anatomy serves as an essential guide in surgery, pathology, and radiography.
Key Historical Figures
-
Andreas Vesalius (1515-1564):
- Marked the beginning of modern anatomy.
- Authored "De humani corporis fabrica" (On the Fabric of the Human Body), providing accurate anatomical studies.
-
William Harvey (1578-1657):
- Discovered blood circulation, tracing its flow from the heart through vessels and capillaries.
Subdivisions of Anatomy
-
Macroscopic Anatomy (Gross):
- Focuses on structures visible to the naked eye, including organs and muscles.
-
Microscopic Anatomy:
- Requires optical magnification for studying minute structures; includes histology (study of tissues).
-
Applied Anatomy:
- The practical application of anatomical knowledge in diagnosing and treating conditions.
-
Topographic Anatomy:
- Examines anatomical relationships based on body regions.
-
Ultrastructural Anatomy:
- Studies very minute structures via electron microscopy.
Further Distinctions
-
Pathology:
- Investigates structures deviating from normal morphology and functioning.
-
Embryology:
- Examines development from fertilization to birth.
-
Developmental Anatomy:
- Studies growth from zygote to adult.
-
Comparative Anatomy:
- Compares anatomical structures across different animal species.
-
Special Anatomy:
- Focuses on the anatomy of a single species or type.
-
Veterinary Anatomy:
- Concerned with the anatomy of domesticated animals.
-
Teratology:
- Studies abnormal development in organisms.
Systematic Anatomy Divisions
- Osteology: Study of the skeleton.
- Syndesmology: Study of joints.
- Myology: Study of muscles.
- Splanchology: Study of internal organs (viscera).
- Angiology: Study of blood circulation organs.
- Neurology: Study of the nervous system.
- Dermatology: Study of the skin and integuments.
- Esthesiology: Study of sensory organs.
- Endocrinology: Study of the endocrine system.
Anatomical Position and Planes
- Anatomical Position: Standard reference position of the body.
- Frontal Plane: Divides body into anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) sections.
- Sagittal Plane: Divides body into right and left halves.
