Study Notes
Aim & Intended Learning Outcomes
- Use precise terminology to describe anatomical relationships between structures.
- Define human anatomy as the scientific study of physical human structures.
- Explain common anatomical terms and their significance.
- Employ directional terminology to describe body part locations relative to others.
- Understand the concept of body planes for visualization.
- Relate anatomical references to the oral perspective.
GDC Learning Outcomes
- Describe relevant dental, oral, craniofacial, and general anatomy for patient management.
Assessment
- Formative assessment through a learning task.
- Summative assessment via a Biomedical Eassessment.
Anatomical Position
- Defined as standing erect, facing forward, arms at the sides (palms forward), and feet slightly apart.
Directional Terms and References
- Medial: Nearer to the midline of the body.
- Lateral: Further from the midline or toward the side.
- Proximal: Nearer to the point of attachment of a limb; closer to the center.
- Distal: Further from the point of attachment of a limb; away from the center.
- Anterior (ventral): Closer to the front.
- Posterior (dorsal): Closer to the back.
- Superior: Nearer to the head.
- Inferior: Further from the head.
Body Planes
- Three planes intersect at right angles:
- Helps in visualizing and describing the body's internal arrangement from various perspectives.
- Utilizes the anatomical position as a reference for navigation.
Oral Perspective
- Specific references to the oral anatomy:
- Lateral border of the tongue, dorsum of the tongue, and ventral surface of the tongue.
- Notations include midline, left and right quadrants, and anterior/posterior teeth.
Summary
- Familiarize with various anatomical terms throughout the course.
- Understand the overlap between general anatomy and oral anatomy.
- Begin creating a glossary of terms for ongoing reference.
Formative Learning Tasks
- Exercises provided to test understanding and retention of anatomical terms and concepts.
Check Your Learning
- Directions include identifying anatomical relationships based on directional terms and naming body planes.
