Study Notes
Anatomical Position
- The body is standing erect, with the feet together and the arms at the side
- Palms are facing forward, and the head is level
- The eyes are looking straight ahead
Body Cavities
- The abdominopelvic cavity is located inferior to the diaphragm
- The diaphragm separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities
Peritoneum
- The visceral peritoneum surrounds organs
- The parietal peritoneum lines the abdominopelvic cavity
- The function of the peritoneum is to allow organs to slide across each other
Anatomical Sections
- A midsagittal section divides the body into equal left and right halves
- A transverse section divides the body into superior and inferior portions
- A coronal section divides the body into anterior and posterior portions
Radius
- The radius is the lateral and shorter of the two forearm bones
- The head of the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus
- The radial tuberosity is medially directed and separates the proximal end from the body
- The distal radius articulates with the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones
Ulna
- The ulna is the medial and longer of the two forearm bones
- The olecranon process is a large, proximal projection on the posterior aspect of the ulna
- The coronoid process is a small, anterior projection that forms the inferior part of the trochlear notch
- The distal ulna articulates with the ulnar notch of the radius and the triquetral and pisiform carpal bones
Carpal Bones
- The carpal bones form the wrist and are arranged in two rows of four bones each
- The proximal row consists of the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform
- The distal row consists of the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate
- The carpal sulcus is a concave space on the palmar aspect of the carpus
- The carpal tunnel is formed by the flexor retinaculum and the carpal bones
Other Skeletal Structures
- The metacarpals are the bones of the palm
- The phalanges are the bones of the digits
The Stomach
- The stomach is an organ located in the abdominal cavity
Planes of the Body
- The coronal plane divides the body into dorsal and ventral regions
Levels of Structural Organization
- The tissue level of structural organization refers to groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function
Anatomical Position and Directional Terms
- The anatomical position refers to the body standing erect, with the feet together, arms at the sides, palms facing forward, head level, and eyes looking straight ahead
- The directional term "superior" means cephalic (toward the head)
- Distal refers to further away from the point of attachment
- Medial refers to a structure closer to the midline of the body
- Inferior refers to a structure below another structure
Body Cavities
- The dorsal cavity contains the brain and spinal cord
- The ventral cavity contains the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
- The thoracic cavity contains the heart and lungs
- The abdominopelvic cavity contains the digestive, urinary, and reproductive organs
Skin
- The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin
- The dermis is the layer of skin below the epidermis
- The stratum lucidum is a layer of the epidermis found in thick skin
Long Bones
- Long bones are bones that are longer than they are wide
- The humerus, tibia, metacarpals, and phalanges are long bones
- The lunate is a short bone found in the wrist
