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.
