    Study Notes

    Directional Terms

    • Distal: Farther from the attachment of a limb to the trunk; e.g., phalanges are distal to carpals.
    • Superficial/External: Towards or on the surface of the body; e.g., ribs are superficial to lungs.
    • Deep/Internal: Away from the surface of the body; e.g., ribs are deep to the skin of the chest and back.

    Anatomical Descriptors

    • Anterior (Ventral): Nearer to the front of the body; e.g., sternum is anterior to the heart.
    • Posterior (Dorsal): Nearer to the back of the body; e.g., esophagus is posterior to trachea.
    • Medial: Nearer to the midline of the body; e.g., ulna is medial to the radius.
    • Lateral: Farther from the midline; e.g., lungs are lateral to the heart.
    • Intermediate: Between structures; e.g., transverse colon is intermediate to ascending and descending colon.
    • Ipsilateral: Same side of the body; e.g., gallbladder and ascending colon are ipsilateral.
    • Contralateral: Opposite side of the body; e.g., ascending and descending colons are contralateral.
    • Proximal: Nearer to the origin of a structure; e.g., elbow is proximal to wrist.

    Planes and Sections

    • Sagittal/Longitudinal Plane: Divides the body into right and left portions.
      • Median Plane: Cuts through the midline into equal halves.
      • Parasagittal Plane: Divides into unequal right and left portions.
    • Frontal/Coronal Plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
    • Transverse/Horizontal Plane: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.

    Anatomy vs. Physiology

    • Anatomy: Study of body structures and their relationships. Derived from Greek: ana (up) + tomy (cutting).
    • Physiology: Study of body functions; focuses on how parts work together.

    Regional Body Names

    • Head: Includes the skull and face (eyes, nose, mouth).
    • Neck: Supports the head and connects it to the trunk.
    • Trunk: Comprises the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
    • Upper Limb: Attaches to the lateral trunk, includes armpit, shoulder to hand.
    • Lower Limb: Attaches to the lower trunk, includes buttocks, thigh to foot.

    Summary of Directional Terms

    • Superior/Cephalic: Toward the head; e.g., heart is superior to liver.
    • Inferior/Caudal: Away from the head; e.g., stomach is inferior to lungs.
