Study Notes

Anatomy Basics

Anatomy is the science of the structure and function of the body.

Anatomical Planes

Coronal planes: imaginary vertical planes at right angles to the median plane.
Horizontal or Transverse planes: planes at right angles to both the median and the coronal planes.

Directional Terms

Proximal and distal: describe relative distances from the roots of the limbs.
- Proximal: closer to the root of the limb (e.g., arm is proximal to the forearm).
- Distal: farther from the root of the limb (e.g., hand is distal to the forearm).
Internal and external: describe relative distances from the center of an organ or cavity.
- Internal: closer to the center of an organ or cavity (e.g., internal carotid artery is inside the cranial cavity).
- External: farther from the center of an organ or cavity (e.g., external carotid artery is outside the cranial cavity).
Ipsilateral: refers to the same side of the body (e.g., left hand and left foot are ipsilateral).

Movement Terms

Eversion: movement of the foot so that the sole faces in a lateral direction.
Protraction: moving forward (e.g., forward movement of the jaw at the temporomandibular joints).
Retraction: moving backward (e.g., backward movement of the jaw at the temporomandibular joints).
