Study Notes
1.00 Understand Structural Organization of the Body and Roles of the First Responder
- This section covers understanding the body's structure and the roles of first responders.
1.02 Understand Anatomical Locations and Terminology
-
Anatomical Positions:
- Standard Anatomical Position: Facing forward, feet flat, arms outstretched with palms facing forward.
- Prone: Lying on the stomach. Often used for neck and spinal surgeries.
- Supine: Lying on the back.
- Trendelenburg: Table or bed tilted with the head lower than the feet. Used for emergency hypotension or shock treatment.
- Fowler's: Sitting position with different degree angles (45, 30, and 90 degrees).
-
Basic Anatomical Position (BAP): Facing forward, feet flat, arms out, palms facing forward.
-
Directions:
- Anterior/Ventral: Towards the front of the body. Imagine the "V" on your collarbone.
- Posterior/Dorsal: Towards the back of the body. Think of dorsal fins on dolphins and sharks.
- Cranial: Towards the head.
- Caudal: Towards the tail end.
- Craniocaudal: From head to tail.
- Superior: Above or top.
- Inferior: Below or bottom.
- Medial: Towards the middle of the body.
- Lateral: Towards the side of the body.
- Bilateral: Both sides.
- Proximal: Closest to the point of attachment (e.g., shoulder, hip).
- Distal: Farthest from the point of attachment (e.g., fingers, toes).
- Superficial: On the surface (e.g., freckles).
- Deep: Inside (e.g., surgical incisions).
-
Planes:
- Sagittal: Divides the body into left and right halves.
- Frontal (Coronal): Divides the body into front and back halves.
- Transverse: Divides the body into top and bottom halves.
-
Body Cavities:
-
Ventral (Front):
- Cranial: Houses the brain.
- Thoracic: Contains the heart, lungs, bronchi, trachea, esophagus, and thymus.
- Abdominal: Contains the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, large and small intestines, and appendix.
- Pelvic: Contains the urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum.
- Abdominopelvic: Combining the abdominal and pelvic cavities.
-
Dorsal (Back):
- Cranial: Contains the brain.
- Spinal: Contains the spinal cord.
-
Ventral (Front):
-
Abdominal Quadrants:
- Subdivisions of the abdomen (RUQ, RLQ, LUQ, LLQ). Uses the navel as a landmark for visualization.
-
Abdominal Pelvic Regions:
- Nine subdivisions of the abdomen.
