Study Notes
Course Overview: Foundation of Normal Human Structure (BMS 111)
- 10 credit points
- 15-week course
- 2 hours of lectures per week
- 2 hours of practical sessions per week
- Assessment includes coursework, quizzes, presentations/projects, portfolios, a midterm exam, a final practical exam, and a final written exam.
Introduction to Anatomy
- Anatomy is derived from Greek: "ana" (apart) and "tome" (to cut).
- It's the science dealing with the structure and development of the body.
Gross Anatomy
- Regional Anatomy: Studies anatomy by body region (e.g., thorax, abdomen). Includes regions such as the scalp, head, neck, face, shoulder, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, upper and lower limbs (arm, forearm, hand, thigh, leg, foot) and gluteal region.
- Systemic Anatomy: Studies anatomy by body system.
Other Areas of Anatomical Study
- Radiological Anatomy: Uses radiographic films to study anatomy.
- Developmental Anatomy (Embryology): Studies body development before birth.
Body Cavities
- Cranial cavity
- Thoracic cavity
- Abdominal cavity
- Pelvic cavity
Anatomical Terminology and Position
- Anatomical Position: Standing erect, facing forward, upper limbs at sides, palms facing forward, thumbs out.
- Supine Position: Lying on the back.
- Prone Position: Lying on the front, face down.
Body Planes
- Sagittal (Median/Mid-sagittal) Plane: Vertical plane dividing the body into equal right and left halves.
- Paramedian (Parasagittal) Plane: Any vertical plane parallel to the median plane, dividing the body into unequal right and left parts.
- Frontal (Coronal) Plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
- Transverse (Horizontal/Cross-section) Plane: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.

- Definition: The science dealing with the structure and development of the body.
Types of Anatomy
-
Gross Anatomy:
- Regional Anatomy: Studies anatomy of a specific body region (e.g., thorax, abdomen). Examples provided include the thorax (ribs, lungs, heart) and the abdomen (liver, spleen, stomach).
- Systemic Anatomy: Studies anatomy of each system individually.
- Radiological Anatomy: Studies anatomy using radiographic films.
- Developmental Anatomy (Embryology): Studies developmental changes before birth.
