Study Notes
Locating Body Organs and Structures
- Visualization is key to understanding body structures and their relationships. Imagine illustrations overlaying on patient anatomy.
- Topography and landmarks utilize body features (elbows, wrists, clavicles) as reference points.
- Palpation involves touching the patient to detect irregularities.
- Auscultation uses a stethoscope to listen to the patient (breathing, heartbeat, bowel sounds).
- Utilize visual aids to overlay illustrations over the body for a better understanding of internal structures.
- Use physical features such as joints, bones, and lines to identify and locate anatomical locations.
Musculoskeletal System
- Functions: Shape, protection of organs, and movement.
- Skeletal system: Supports, protects, stores minerals, and facilitates movement via muscle attachments.
- Tendons connect muscle to bone.
- Ligaments connect bone to bone.
- Skeleton Divisions:
- Axial skeleton: Skull, spine, ribs, and sternum (colored white in the image).
- Appendicular skeleton: Shoulders, upper extremities, pelvis, and lower extremities (colored red in the image).
- Provides shape, protects vital organs, and enables body movement.
Skull
- Cranium: Top, back, and sides of the head.
- Face: Front of the head.
- Bones:
- Frontal: Forehead.
- Temporal: Side of the head, near ears.
- Occipital: Base of the skull.
- Parietal (Left & Right): Sides of the head.
- Mandible: Lower jaw (only movable bone).
- Maxilla: Upper jaw.
- Nasal: Nose.
- Orbits: Eye sockets.
- Zygomatic: Cheekbones.
- Large top, back, and sides of the head.
- Front portion of the head.
Spinal Column
- Vertebrae: 33 bones forming the spinal column.
- Spinal cord runs down the center of the vertebrae.
- Regions:
- Cervical Spine (7 vertebrae): Neck.
- Thoracic Spine (12 vertebrae): Upper and middle back.
- Lumbar Spine (5 vertebrae): Lower back.
- Sacral: 5 fused vertebrae at the base of the spine.
- Coccyx: 4 fused vertebrae (tailbone).
Chest Area
- Sternum: Breastbone, connecting to ribs.
- Manubrium: Top section of the sternum.
- Sternal Notch: Top of the manubrium.
- Body of Sternum: Middle section, used for CPR.
- Xiphoid Process: Small, fragile bottom section.
- Rib Cage: 12 sets of ribs.
- Floating Ribs: 11th and 12th ribs, do not attach to the sternum.
- Purpose: Protects heart, lungs, and major blood vessels.
- Breastbone in the center of the chest where ribs connect.
Pelvis
- Bones:
- Ilium: Wing area of the hip.
- Ischium: Bottom of the pelvis ("butt bone").
- Pubis: Foundation level of the pelvis.
- Pelvis Girdle: Forms the hip joint.
- Femur: Attaches to the pelvis at the hip joint.
- Wing-like portion of the hip on each side.
- Bottom portion of the pelvis.
- Foundation of the pelvis.
- Formed by the ball-shaped head of the femur connecting with the pelvis.
Lower Extremities
- Femur: Largest and strongest bone in the body.
- Knee Joint:
- Patella: Kneecap.
- Lower Leg:
- Tibia: Main bone in the front.
- Fibula: Bone on the back of the lower leg.
- Ankle:
- Malleolus: Nubs on the inside (medial) and outside (lateral) of the ankle.
- Foot:
- Phalanges: Toe bones.
- Metatarsals: Body of the foot.
- Calcaneus: Heel.
Upper Extremities
- Shoulder Girdle:
- Clavicle: Collarbone.
- Scapula: Shoulder blade.
- Acromium: Highest point where clavicle and scapula meet (acromioclavicular joint, AC joint).
- Upper Arm:
- Humerus: Upper arm bone.
- Lower Arm:
- Radius: Thumb side of the lower arm.
- Ulna: Pinky side of the lower arm.
- Hand and Wrist:
- Phalanges: Finger bones.
- Distal Phalange: Tip of the finger.
- Middle Phalanges: Middle section of the finger.
- Proximal Phalange: Base of the finger.
- Metacarpals: Hand bones.
- Carpals: Wrist bones.
- Phalanges: Finger bones.
Joints
- Joints: Points where bones meet.
- Types:
- Ball and Socket: Hip.
- Hinge: Elbow, wrist.
- Saddle Joint: Thumb.
- Condyloid Joint: Wrist.
- Plane Joint: Ankle.
- Locations where bones come together, allowing for movement and flexibility.
Muscles
- Muscle Types:
- Voluntary (Skeletal): Conscious control.
- Involuntary (Smooth): Controlled by the brain stem (e.g., blood vessels, GI tract).
- Cardiac (Heart): Specific muscle type for the heart.
- Muscles controlled consciously by the brain.
- Muscles controlled by the brain stem for automatic functions in blood vessels, the digestive tract, and respiratory system.
- Muscle of the heart.
