Study Notes
Basics
- Anatomical position: standing upright, feet together, arms at sides, palms facing forward
- Anatomical planes: sagittal (divides body into left and right), coronal (divides body into front and back), transverse (divides body into upper and lower)
- Anatomical terms of location: superior/inferior, anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal, superficial/deep
- Anatomical terms of movement: flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, rotation, circumduction, protraction/retraction, elevation/depression
Osteology
- Sulcus of humerus: attachment of pectoralis major muscle
- Know the classification and siding of bones for examinations
Musculoskeletal
- Muscle origins and insertions are important for physical therapists and occupational therapists, especially in the limbs
- Muscle innervations are important for physical therapists and occupational therapists especially when treating patients
- Muscles typically contract in the direction of their fibers
- Muscles that originate on the scapula usually insert on the humerus, producing movement at the shoulder and elbow joints
- Floating ribs: ribs 11 and 12 have no anterior connection with other ribs and sternum
Blood Vessels
- Know the origin of arteries and where veins drain into
- Some specific vessels may be studied in relation to clinical processes
Thorax
- Structure of a rib: curved shaft, anterior end continuous with costal cartilage, posterior end articulates with vertebral column
- Rib head: expanded, 2 articular surfaces separated by crest, superior surface articulates with inferior costal facet of vertebra above, inferior surface articulates with superior costal facet of own vertebra
- Rib neck: short, flat region separating head from tubercle
- Rib tubercle: projects posteriorly from junction of neck with shaft, articular part articulates with transverse costal facet on vertebra of same number
