Study Notes
Introduction to Anatomy
- Terminology is important for clear communication among professionals, demonstrating knowledge and competence, and enhancing leadership/mentoring roles.
- Using common terms enables effective communication with clients and caregivers, and promotes a unified understanding.
Anatomic Position and Planes of the Body
- The anatomic position is a standardized position used worldwide to describe the human body.
- The anatomic position is used to describe the body in any position (e.g., lying, sitting).
- There are three planes of the body: median (right and left), sagittal (parallel to the median), and coronal (front and back).
Directional Terminology
- Anterior (ventral) refers to the front of the body, while posterior (dorsal) refers to the back.
- Superior (cranial) refers to the upper part of the body, while inferior (caudal) refers to the lower part.
- Proximal refers to a position closer to the trunk, while distal refers to a position farther from the trunk.
- Medial (ulnar) refers to a position closer to the midline, while lateral (radial) refers to a position farther from the midline.
- Superficial refers to a position near the surface, while deep refers to a position farther from the surface.
Anatomical Regions
- The cephalic region includes the head and face.
- The spinal region includes the thoracic and lumbar spine.
- The upper extremity includes the shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist, and hand.
- The pelvic region includes the pelvis and perineum.
- The lower extremity includes the thigh, leg, ankle, and foot.
Anatomic Structure, Supply, and Function
- The nervous system includes the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves).
- The muscular system includes skeletal muscle (voluntary), smooth muscle (involuntary), and cardiac muscle (heart).
- Skeletal muscle has three layers: epimysium (outer), perimysium (middle), and endomysium (inner).
- Muscle fibers have multiple nuclei and are multinucleated.
Muscle Classification and Function
- Muscles can be classified as skeletal (voluntary), smooth (involuntary), or cardiac (heart).
- Muscles can also be classified based on their shape: flat, pennate, fusiform, or quadrate.
- Muscle function includes movement, stability, and support.
Nerve Supply and Muscle Action
- Motor units consist of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.
- The nervous system regulates muscle tone and movement.
Joint Classification and Function
- Joints can be classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.
- Joint stability depends on articular shape, ligaments, and muscle tone.
- Synovial joints have a joint cavity and are lined with a synovial membrane.
- Joints can be classified based on their movement: pivot, hinge, condyloid, saddle, or ball-and-socket.
