Study Notes
Anatomy Overview
- Anatomy is the scientific study of body structure.
- Distinction between thick and thin skin:
- Thick skin: Found in areas with friction (e.g., palm of the hand, sole of the foot).
- Thin skin: Found in delicate areas (e.g., eyelids).
Skin Types and Components
- Hairy skin: Presence of hair follicles, example includes the scalp.
- Sebaceous glands: Oil-producing glands associated with hair follicles.
- Sweat glands: Responsible for thermoregulation and excretion in the skin.
Connective Tissue in Skin
- Collagen fibers in connective tissue have directional properties, varying by body area.
Types of Joints
- Joints categorized based on the material separating the bones:
- Fibrous joints: No movement occurs; bones connected by fibrous tissue. Example: sutures of the skull.
- Cartilaginous joints: Bones connected by cartilage; allows some movement.
- Synovial joints: Enclosed by a capsule, allowing significant movement.
Specific Joint Types
- Saddle joint: Allows movement in two planes, example includes the wrist joint's carpometacarpal joint.
- Polyaxial ball & socket joint: Allows movement in multiple directions; example is the shoulder joint.
- Plane joint: Consists of two smooth flat surfaces; facilitates gliding movements, example includes intercarpal joints.
