Study Notes
General Veterinary Anatomy
- Anatomy is the science of the form and structures of all organisms.
- The word "anatomy" literally means to cut apart.
Aims of the Course
- The course provides knowledge of common veterinary anatomical and embryological terms.
- It covers the locomotor system of domestic animals.
- The course explains the origin and development of the mammalian organism.
- It includes basic knowledge of general embryology.
- It covers congenital anomalies and morphological defects present at birth.
- It discusses methods of comparative limb bone anatomy.
Classification of Anatomy
- There are 30 subdivisions of anatomy.
- Gross/macroscopic anatomy is based on the dissection of animal cadavers; structures visible without aid.
- General anatomy describes the principles of body structures.
- Special anatomy details the structures of specific species or organs.
- Comparative anatomy studies various species, emphasizing characteristics for classification.
- Applied anatomy uses anatomical facts to help clinicians with investigations, diagnoses, and surgical approaches.
- Instrumental anatomy uses tools like X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, and MRI for diagnostic purposes.
- Embryology studies developmental anatomy from conception to birth.
- Morphology studies the form, position, and development of body structures (includes anatomy, histology, and developmental anatomy).
Methods for Approaching (Performing) Anatomy
- Systematic anatomy studies organs working together in body systems.
- Topographical/regional anatomy investigates a specific body area, its structures, and relationships.
- Applied anatomy applies anatomical facts to living animals.
Nomenclatures of Body Systems
- Different body systems have specific names of study and associated structures and body parts.
Anatomical Terminology
- Terms are used to precisely define position and direction of body parts.
- Terms apply to quadrupedal animals in ordinary stance.
Body Planes
- Median/midsagittal/longitudinal plane divides the body into equal right and left halves.
- Sagittal/paramedian plane is parallel to the median plane.
- Transverse/segmental/horizontal plane lies at right angles to the median plane, dividing the body into cranial and caudal segments.
- Frontal/horizontal/coronal plane is perpendicular to the median and transverse planes, dividing the body into dorsal (upper) and ventral (lower) sections.
Descriptive Terms of the Skeletal System
- Bone surfaces have eminences(projections), depressions (cavities), and foramina.
- Cavities or projections can be articular (for joints) or non-articular (for muscle attachment).
- Non-articular parts provide attachment for muscles, tendons, fascia, and ligaments.
Non-articular Projections
- Processes, tuberosities, tubercles, trochanters, spines/spinous processes, crests, lines, epicondyles, hamulus, malleolus are types of non-articular projections on bones.
Articular Projections
- Head, condyle, trochlea, facet are types of articular projections on bones.
Non-articular Depressions
- Fossa, fovea, groove/sulcus, foramen/foramina, fissure, canal, meatus, alveolus are types of non-articular depressions in bones.
Articular Depressions
- Glenoid cavity, acetabulum/cotyloid cavity, notch are types of articular depressions on bones.
Terms Applied to the Limbs
- Proximal refers to parts closer to the body trunk.
- Distal refers to parts away from the body trunk.
- Axial surface of a digit faces the axis (center line); the abaxial surface faces opposite the axis. (i.e. directionally away from the central line)
Planes of Head and Limbs
- Specific planes exist for the head and limbs that are relevant when discussing anatomical structures and positions.
