Study Notes
Introduction
-
Body positions
- Supine: Lying on the back
- Prone: Lying on the stomach
- Lateral Decubitus: Lying on the side (right or left)
- Lithotomy: Lying on the back with flexed hips and knees and abducted hips
- Erect Anatomical: Standing upright with eyes looking forward, upper limbs hanging by sides
-
Internal (Inner): Toward the cavity of a hollow organ
-
External (Outer): Towards the surface of a hollow organ
Planes
-
Horizontal Plane: Also known as a transverse plane. Cuts the body horizontally dividing into:
- Superior (Upper)
- Inferior (Lower)
-
Median (Sagittal) Plane: Vertical plane in the middle line of the body. Divides the body longitudinally into equal right and left halves.
-
Paramedian Plane: Parallel to and nearby the median plane
Other Structures
- Aponeurosis: Glistening fibrous structure
- Fibrous Median Raphe: Formed when muscles from both sides are inserted into it. Example: Mylohyoid muscle
- Fibrous Pulleys: Structures under which a muscle tendon can pass
