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.
