Study Notes
Anatomical Landmarks of Lower Limb
- Inguen: Groin area
- Pubis: Region surrounding the pubic bone
- Femur: Thigh bone
- Patella: Kneecap
- Crus: Leg region
- Tarsus: Ankle region
- Pes: Foot
- Planta: Sole of the foot
- Hallux: Big toe
- Digits: Toes
- Gluteus: Buttock area
- Popliteus: Back of the knee
- Sura: Calf region
- Calcaneus: Heel of the foot
Anatomical Directions
- Right: Refers to the right side of the subject
- Left: Refers to the left side of the subject
- Lateral: Away from the midline of the body
- Medial: Toward the midline of the body
- Proximal: Closer to the point of attachment
- Distal: Further from the point of attachment
- Superior: Above or toward the head
- Inferior: Below or toward the feet
- Superficial: Close to the body’s surface
- Deep: Further away from the body’s surface
- Cranial (Cephalic): Toward the head
- Caudal: Toward the tail
- Posterior (Dorsal): At the back
- Anterior (Ventral): At the front
- Supine: Lying on the back
- Prone: Lying on the stomach
Planes and Sections of the Body
- Frontal Plane (Coronal Plane): Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into right and left parts
- Midsagittal Section: Equal right and left halves
- Parasagittal Section: Unequal right and left portions
- Transverse Plane (Horizontal/Cross-Sectional Plane): Divides the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) parts
Cell Types and Structure
- Sex Cells (Germ/Reproductive Cells): Contain 23 chromosomes (e.g., sperm in males and oocytes in females)
- Somatic Cells: Non-reproductive cells containing 46 chromosomes
Human Cell and Organelle Sizes
- Human Cells: Diameter ranges from 7 µm to 150 µm; average size is 10-15 µm, not visible to the naked eye
- Organelles: Size varies from 20 nm to 10 µm, also not visible without a microscope
Microscope Components
- Ocular Lens: Eyepieces for viewing specimens
- Nosepiece: Holds and rotates objective lenses
- Objective Lens: Different lenses for various magnifications
- Stage: Where slides are placed
- Coarse and Fine Focus Knobs: Adjust focus of the specimen
- Light Source: Illuminates the specimen
Vertebral Column Composition
- Composed of 26 bones:
- 24 Vertebrae (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar)
- 1 Sacrum
- 1 Coccyx
Functions of the Vertebral Column
- Protects the spinal cord and supports the skull
- Transfers weight to lower limbs and aids in maintaining upright posture
Major Types of Muscle Tissue
- Skeletal Muscle: Voluntary and striated, attached to bones
- Cardiac Muscle: Involuntary and striated, found in the heart
- Smooth Muscle: Involuntary and non-striated, found in walls of organs and vessels
Thoracic Cage
- Composed of 25 bones: 1 sternum and 24 ribs
- Protects vital thoracic cavity organs (e.g., heart, lungs)
- Ribs classified as:
- Vertebrosternal Ribs (1-7): Attach directly to the sternum
- Vertebrochondral Ribs (8-10): Connect indirectly
- Vertebral Ribs (11-12): No anterior attachment
Integumentary System Components
- Comprises Cutaneous Membrane (Epidermis and Dermis) and Accessory Structures (Hair Follicles, Exocrine Glands, Nails)
Bone Markings
- Spine: Sharp, slender projection
- Fossa: Shallow indentation
- Head: Expanded projection at the end of long bones
Supporting Connective Tissue Types
- Cartilage: Provides support and flexibility
- Bone (Osseous Tissue): Solid, crystalline matrix composed of collagen fibers and calcium salts
Specialized Bone Cells
- Osteoprogenitor Cells: Stem cells that develop into bone cells
- Osteocytes: Mature bone cells, important for bone maintenance
