    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.
