Study Notes

Anatomy Overview

  • Anatomy is the scientific study of body structure (morphology) and development
  • Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) was a key figure in 16th-century anatomy. His De Humani Corporis Fabrica (1543) was a 7-volume collection of anatomical drawings.
  • Anatomy can be studied using a regional approach and/or a systemic approach.

Body Systems

  • The study of the human body includes the study of its various systems. The seven systems mentioned in the provided diagrams included:
    • Integumentary system
    • Muscular System
    • Nervous system
    • Endocrine system
    • Skeletal system
    • Cardiovascular system
    • Lymphatic system
    • Respiratory system
    • Digestive system
    • Urinary system
    • Reproductive system

Anatomical Terminology

  • Anatomy uses specific terminology to describe body position, directions, surfaces, and planes.
    • Examples of terms include: anterior, posterior, medial, lateral, superior, inferior, proximal, distal, superficial, deep
  • Key anatomical planes include coronal, sagittal (median sagittal), and transverse (horizontal or axial) planes.

Body Cavities

  • The body has different cavities, divided into dorsal (cranial and spinal) and ventral (thoracic, and abdominopelvic).
  • Several specific cavities are associated with these major divisions and various organs within. Examples include the abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic cavities.

Organ System Overview

  • Each has a specific role in maintaining the functions in the body
    • For example the integumentary system helps protect the body

Regional Approach

  • The regional approach examines the body in parts, such as head, neck, thorax, upper limb, lower limb, back, abdomen, pelvis, and perineum.
  • This divides the areas of study into further sections, enabling more focused study of anatomy

Bone Classification

  • Bones are classified by their shape and tissue types. These types include:
    • Compact bone gives strength to weight bearing.
    • Spongy bone is composed of spicules of bone enclosing marrow.
    • Long bones (humerus)
    • Short bones (wrist and ankle)
    • Flat bones (skull)
    • Irregular bones (bones of the face)
    • Sesamoid bones (found in tendons)

Bone Markings

  • Bones, joints, cartilages, and ligaments are essential components of skeletal structures
  • Key terms associated with skeletal system and bone markings include: condyle, crest, epicondyle, facet, foramen, fossa, line, malleolus, notch, process, protuberance, spine, trochanter, tubercle, tuberosity

Joints

  • Joints are areas in which skeletal parts meet. There are two types of joints:
    • Synovial joints which contain a cavity and are often more mobile
    • Solid joints or non synovial- joints are held together by connective tissue
  • Classification of synovial joints by shape and movement includes: plane, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, and ball-and-socket joints.
    • These classifications pertain to the shape and movement of the bones in these joints.

Tissues

  • Tissues are groups of similar cells performing specific function
  • The study of tissues is helpful to understand the biological processes of the body

Anatomical planes

  • Anatomical sections/planes are imaginary slicing planes that cut through the body in different directions to visualize the internal structures.
  • These planes are fundamental in providing a consistent way of describing the body for medical imaging and anatomical reference.

Integumentary System

  • The integumentary system (skin and its appendages) covers the body. The functions of this system include protection, containment, heat regulation, sensation and synthesis and storage of vitamin D.
  • The skin is structured as epidermis (outer) and dermis (inner). The deeper layers and fat are included in the subcutaneous tissue.
