    Study Notes

    Course Information

    • Course: Gross Anatomy
    • Year: 1st year
    • Lecturer: Dr. Rana M. Raoof
    • Department: Anatomy
    • Date: 12/11/2024
    • Number of lectures: Two

    Learning Objectives

    • Describe the anatomy of the skin
    • Discuss the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system

    Intended Learning Outcomes

    • Identify skin components
    • Define and discuss functions of superficial and deep fascia
    • Determine factors affecting muscle power
    • Define muscle tone
    • Demonstrate muscle power and muscle tone examination
    • Define tendons and discuss common clinical problems
    • Identify different bone types according to shape and structure

    Skin

    • Largest body organ (15% of total body weight)
    • Superficial layer = epidermis
    • Deep layer = dermis
    • Deep to dermis = hypodermis

    Skin Appendages

    • Nails
    • Hair and hair follicles
    • Sebaceous glands
    • Sweat glands

    Nails

    • Nail plate
    • Nail root
    • Nail folds
    • Nail bed

    Activity: Skin Function

    • (Activity from the presentation)

    Fascia (Superficial and Deep)

    • Connective tissue containing varying amounts of fat
    • Encloses body deep to the skin
    • Separates, supports, and interconnects organs and structures
    • Divided into superficial and deep types

    Superficial Fascia (Subcutaneous Tissue)

    • Cellular components: loose connective tissue, large amount of fat
    • Regional variations: thick collagen fibers, sites with no adipose tissue
    • Function: (not explicitly described in the document)

    Deep Fascia

    • Dense connective tissue layer investing muscles and other deep structures
    • Extensions form investing fascia, intermuscular septa, subserous fascia (e.g., extraperitoneal, endothoracic fascia), and retinacula

    Activity: Types of Skin Sensations

    • (Activity from presentation)

    Why Deep Fascia is Important

    • Limits spread of infection and malignant disease
    • Surgical clearance may require extensive dissection if a fascial plane is crossed.

    Musculoskeletal System

    • Muscles + tendons
    • Bones + cartilage
    • Ligaments

    Muscles

    • Activity: Types of muscles (voluntary/involuntary)
    • Activity: List muscle types

    Skeletal Muscles

    • 40% body weight.
    • Each skeletal muscle has a contractile part (head/belly) and a non-contractile part (tendon/aponeurosis)

    Naming Muscles

    • Shape (e.g., deltoid, rhomboid, etc.)
    • Depth (e.g., superficial, profundus, etc.)
    • Position (e.g., anterior, posterior, etc.)
    • Attachment: sites of muscle connection (e.g., to bones)
    • Size: (e.g., major, minor, longus, brevis)
    • Action (e.g., flexor, extensor, etc.)
    • Number of Heads or Bellies

    Muscle Contraction

    • Leads to ~70% shortening of muscle length
    • Long parallel fibers shorten the most, but are not the most powerful
    • Powerful contraction depends on number of muscle fibers (cells)

    Types of Muscles

    • (Discussion from the presentation)

    Testing Muscle Power

    • Used to diagnose muscle or nerve diseases
    • Bilateral comparison of muscle strength
    • Patient performs movements while examiner resists the effort

    Testing Muscle Tone

    • Slight muscle contraction even in a relaxed state.
    • Abnormal tone: Hypotonia (flaccid paralysis), Hypertonia (rigidity, spasticity)

    Why Muscle Tone Is Important

    • Gives muscle firmness
    • Assists in joint stability
    • Assists in posture maintenance

    Tendons

    • Strong connective tissue cords connecting muscle to bone
    • Vary in shape and size in different muscles
    • Mostly collagen, with blood vessels and nerves

    Tendons: Common Problems

    • Strains (tear, twist, or pull) - common in arms and legs
    • Tendonitis (inflammation) - often due to repetitive activities, overuse or aging

    Bones

    • Strong & rigid connective tissue consisting of:
      • Cells
      • Fibers (not detailed)
      • Matrix (organic materials and minerals, not detailed)

    Functions of Bones

    • Locomotion
    • Support and protection
    • Storage of hemopoietic tissues and fats
    • Storage of metabolic calcium & phosphate

    Bone Classification by Structure

    • Compact bone: solid outer shell of mature bones
      • Important for strength
      • Provides rigid articular surfaces
      • Thickness varies between/within bones, decreasing with age
    • Trabecular (cancellous, spongy) bone: branching network of trabeculae; providing support to compact bone and reducing weight

    Bone General Structure (Long Bones)

    • 2 ends (epiphysis)
    • Shaft (diaphysis)
    • 2 Metaphysis

    Bone Classification by Shape

    • Long bones: length > width; compact bone outer, spongy bone inner; head, neck, and shaft regions
    • Short bones: roughly cuboidal; mostly cancellous bone surrounded by thin layer of compact bone; found in hand/foot
    • Flat bones: thin inner/outer layers of compact bone, separated by cancellous bone; found in skull, scapula
    • Irregular bones: irregular shape, thin inner/outer layers of compact bone separated by cancellous bone; found in bones of skull, vertebrae, pelvic bones
    • Sesamoid bones: within tendons, reducing friction and altering direction of tendinous pull; e.g., patella

    Homework Questions

    • Are bones vascular structures?
    • Do bones have innervation?
