Study Notes
Anatomy Course Modules
- Includes three modules: General Anatomy, Avian Anatomy, Fish Anatomy
- General Anatomy explores the structure of the skeleton, joints, muscles, and integument (skin) of domestic animals.
- Avian Anatomy focuses on the general and systemic structure of birds.
- Fish Anatomy encompasses the general and systemic structure of fish.
Definition of Anatomy
- The study of the form and structure of dead and live organisms at both the macroscopic (gross) and microscopic levels.
- Literally, the word anatomy means "to cut apart."
The Scope of Anatomy
- Macroscopic (Gross) Anatomy: Involves simple dissection using tools like scalpels, forceps, and scissors, where structures can be observed with the naked eye.
- Microscopic Anatomy: Focuses on the study of cells (cytology) and tissues (histology) using microscopes.
- Developmental Anatomy: Investigates the developmental stages of an organism, including the embryo, fetus, and postnatal stages.
Anatomy Course in the First Term of the First Year
General Anatomy
-
Locomotor System: Includes skeletal structures involved in animal movement:
- Passive structures: Bones and cartilages (Osteology) and joints (Syndesmology or Arthrology).
- Active structures: Muscles (Myology).
- Integument System: Encompasses the skin and associated glands (such as mammary glands) and horny structures like hooves and horns.
2 - Special Anatomy
- Describes the structure of a single type or species, such as avian (bird) anatomy and fish anatomy.
Anatomy Course in the Second Term of the First Year
- Embryology: Covers general embryology from gametogenesis to placentation.
- Urogenital System: Includes the anatomy and development of the urinary, male, and female genital systems in domestic animals.
Anatomy Course in the First Term of the Second Year
- Digestive System: Explores the anatomy and development of the digestive system in domestic animals.
- Respiratory System: Examines the anatomy and development of the respiratory system in domestic animals.
- Lymphatic System: Covers the anatomy and development of lymphatic systems in domestic animals.
Anatomy Course in the Second Term of the Second Year
- Neuroanatomy: Includes the anatomy and development of the nervous system and sense organs (eye and ear).
- Cardiovascular System: Includes the anatomy and development of the cardiovascular system.
- Applied (Clinical) Anatomy: Applies anatomical knowledge to living subjects to examine different organs.
How are Living Things Organized?
- Atoms: The smallest chemical units.
- Molecules: A group of atoms working together.
- Macromolecules: A group of molecules working together.
- Organelles: A group of macromolecules working together.
- Cells: A group of organelles working together.
- Tissues: A group of similar cells working together.
- Organs: A group of different tissues working together.
- Organ Systems: A group of organs working together.
- Organism: An individual.
Anatomical Descriptive Terms
In the Trunk
- Dorsal: Toward the back (dorsum).
- Ventral: Toward the belly or abdomen (venter).
- Cranial: Toward the head (cranium = skull).
-
Caudal: Toward the tail (cauda).
- These terms are often combined, for example, craniodorsal, cranioventral, caudodorsal, and caudoventral.
In the Head
- Rostral: Toward the rostrum (nose) - replaces cranial in the trunk.
- Oral: Toward the mouth.
- Aboral: Away from the mouth.
In the Limbs
- Proximal: Toward the trunk (the part of the limb nearer the body).
- Distal: Away from the trunk (near the ground).
- Medial: Toward the median plane (to the inside).
- Lateral: Away from the median plane (to the outside).
- Cranial and Caudal: Used proximal to the carpus and tarsus.
- Dorsal: Used instead of cranial in the manus (i.e., carpus, metacarpus, and phalanges) of the forelimb and the pes (i.e., tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges) of the hindlimb.
- Palmar: Used instead of caudal in the manus region.
- Plantar: Used instead of caudal in the pes region.
Other Terms
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Superior (supra) | Above |
| Inferior (infra) | Below |
| Superficial | Close to the surface |
| Deep (profundus) | Beneath the surface |
| Peripheral (Peri) | The part nearest to the surface |
| Parietal | The body wall or the wall of the cavity |
| Visceral | The viscera or organ in the cavity |
| Somatic | The part of the body other than viscera |
| Axial | Towards the central line of the body or any body part |
| Abaxial | Away from the central line of the body or any body part |
| Dexter | Means right |
| Sinister | Means left |
| Intra | Inside |
| Inter | Between |
| Sub | Under |
Anatomical Planes
Planes of the Trunk
- Median Plane: Divides the trunk into equal right and left halves.
- Paramedian (Sagittal) Plane: Is parallel to the median plane.
- Transverse Plane: Is at right angles to the long axis of the trunk and divides the trunk into cranial and caudal segments.
-
Dorsal (Horizontal) Plane: Is at right angles to the median and transverse plane of the trunk (the term frontal plane is not recommended). It divides the trunk into dorsal and ventral segments.
- Note: The same planes of the trunk can be applied to the head.
Planes of the Limbs
- Median and Paramedian Planes: As in the trunk.
- Transverse Plane: Is vertical on the limb's long axis and divides the limb into proximal and distal segments.
- Dorsal Plane: Vertical on the paramedian and transverse planes, dividing the limb into cranial (dorsal) and caudal (palmer/plantar) segments.
Animal Species Names
| Animal | Male | Female | Young | Family |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dog | dog | bitch | puppy | Carnivores/Canine |
| Cat | tom | queen | kitten | Carnivores/Canine |
| Pig | boar | sow | pig | Omnivores/Swine |
| Horse | stallion | mare | foal | Herbivores/Equine |
