Study Notes
Anatomy
- Study of structures in the human body, emphasizing how these structures appear.
- Examines body organization at various levels, from cells to organs and systems.
- Provides a foundation for understanding how form correlates with function.
Physiology
- Scientific discipline focused on processes and functions of living organisms.
- Investigates how bodily systems operate in health and disease.
- Includes study of mechanisms like metabolism, respiration, and homeostasis.
Anatomical Position
- Defined as a person standing upright with the head directed forward.
- Upper limbs hang down at the sides, with palms oriented forward.
Body Positions
- Supine: Refers to a person lying flat on their back, facing upward.
- Prone: Indicates a person lying flat on their stomach, facing downward.
Anatomical Planes
- Sagittal Plane: A vertical plane that divides the body into left and right sections.
- Coronal Plane: Another vertical plane that separates the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
- Transverse Plane: A horizontal plane that splits the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections.
