Study Notes
Planes of the Body
- Transverse Plane: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts.
- Frontal Plane (Coronal Plane): Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right portions.
- Midsagittal Plane: A specific sagittal plane that divides the body into equal left and right halves.
- Parasagittal Plane: Divides the body into unequal right and left sides.
Sectional Views and Comparisons
-
Frontal View:
- Cannot simultaneously display anterior and posterior structures.
- Cannot display the sternum and vertebrae at the same time.
-
Sagittal View:
- Cannot produce views of both kidneys simultaneously.
-
Transverse View:
- Cannot display both abdominal and thoracic organs together.
Body Regions
-
Axial Region:
- Includes the sternum, coccyx, ribs, and vertebrae.
-
Appendicular Region:
- Crural region (leg) is part of this region.
- Carpal (wrist) and anterbrachial (forearm) regions are also included.
Anatomical Relationships
- Lleum to Ilium: Small intestine connected to the hip bone.
- Trapezius to Trapezium: Muscle in the back related to the wrist bone.
- Zygomaticus to Zygomatic: Muscle associated with the zygomatic bone.
- Malleus to Malleolus: Middle ear bone linked to the protuberance of the ankle.
Medical Conditions
- Hypothyroidism: Characterized by decreased thyroid gland function.
- Cardiomyopathy: A disease affecting the heart muscle.
- Gastroenteritis: Inflammation of the stomach and intestines.
- Cleidocranial Dysplasia: Abnormal growth affecting the clavicle and skull.
- Hepatomegaly: Indicates an enlarged liver.
Anatomical Terms of Location
- Proximal: Refers to being closer to the origin of a structure.
- Medial: Means toward the midline of the body.
- Cephalad: Direction towards the head from a lower position.
- Superficial: Indicates being near the surface of the body.
