Study Notes
Branches of Anatomy
- Histology is the branch of anatomy that studies different tissues and cells using microscopes.
- Developmental biology delves into the changes organisms undergo from conception through birth, maturity, and eventual death.
- Comparative anatomy involves studying the structures of different animals, emphasizing their similarities and differences.
- Gross anatomy refers to the study of the body's form and structure perceived with the naked eye, employing simple instruments.
Systematic Anatomy Fields
- Cardiovascular anatomy focuses on detailing the blood circulation system within the body.
- Topographical anatomy studies organs and systems in relation to their surrounding parts.
Anatomical Directional Terms
- Posterior refers to structures located toward the back.
- Anterior designates structures positioned toward the belly.
- Superior indicates structures lying toward the head.
- Inferior refers to structures located toward the tail.
- Lateral describes structures that lie away from the median plane.
- Superficial denotes structures that are closer to the surface.
- Proximal in limbs indicates structures nearer to the body.
Bone Classification and Function
- The classification of bones includes the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum, categorized as axial bones.
- Long bones primarily function to support weight and facilitate movement.
Protective Structures
- Protective structures such as feathers, hair, and scales are found on the surface of organisms.
Connective Tissue Characteristics
- Irregular dense connective tissue contains collagen bundles arranged unpredictably.
- Adipose tissue is characterized by cells filled with large fat globules and a flat peripheral nucleus.
- Elastin protein forms thick, fenestrated membranes that provide elasticity, often found in arteries and connective tissues.
- Regular dense connective tissue is identified by collagen bundles arranged in organized rows, with fibrocytes situated between them.
Mesenchymal Cells
- Mesenchymal cells found in embryonic mesoderm are multipotent stem cells capable of differentiating into various connective tissue types.
Reticular Connective Tissue
- Reticular connective tissue features dark brown to black short, delicate fibers that form a supportive network for organs like the liver and lymph nodes.
