    Study Notes

    General Anatomy Overview

    • Anatomy Definition: Derived from Greek, meaning "to cut apart" (ana = apart, tome = cutting).
    • Focus: Study of shapes and structures of the human body, emphasizing relationships among parts.
    • Observation Methods:
      • Early studies involved external observations and injury analysis.
      • Dissection permitted body structure analysis.

    Anatomical Position

    • Standard Anatomical Position:
      • Body stands erect, facing the observer.
      • Arms hang at sides, palms forward, thumbs pointing laterally.
      • Heels together, feet flat on the floor.

    Anatomical Planes

    • Sagittal/Median Plane:
      • Divides the body into right and left parts.

    Human Body Structures

    • Humerus:

      • Proximal end features articular head, lesser and greater tubercles.
      • Surgical neck located below anatomical neck.
      • Shaft tapers into a defined ‘surgical neck’.

    • Radius:

      • Lateral forearm bone with expanded proximal and distal ends.
      • Head has a shallow cup for the humeral capitulum.
      • Distal end wider, facilitates joint with ulna at the elbow.

    Bone Structure

    • Proximal and Distal Ends:

      • Proximal radius displays a discoid head; distal end contacts ulnar radial notch.

    • Innominate Bone (Hip Bone):

      • Irregular structure formed from pubis, ilium, and ischium.
      • Acetabulum articulates with femoral head.

    Pelvic Girdle

    • Composition:
      • Formed by two innominate bones joined anteriorly at the pubic symphysis.
      • Posteriorly connects with sacrum and coccyx.

    Joint Classifications

    • Structural Classifications:

      • Fibrous Joints: United by dense irregular connective tissue.
      • Cartilaginous Joints: Consist of cartilage, can be temporary or permanent.
      • Synovial Joints: Most common, enclosed within a cavity and articular capsule.

    • Functional Classifications:

      • Synarthrosis: Immobile joints, e.g., skull sutures.
      • Amphiarthrosis: Slightly movable joints.
      • Diarthrosis: Freely movable joints, typically in limbs.

    Anatomical Movements

    • General Movement Types:

      • Gliding Movement: Flat surfaces slide against each other.
      • Angular Movements: Change in angle between joints, including:
        • Flexion: Decrease angle between bones.
        • Extension: Increase angle between bones.

    • Specific Movements:

      • Dorsiflexion: Lifting toes towards the knee.
      • Plantarflexion: Lifting heel, as in standing on toes.
      • Supination: Forearm rotation with palm facing anteriorly.
      • Pronation: Forearm rotation with palm facing posteriorly.
