Human Anatomy and Physiology 1

Study Notes

Cervical Vertebrae

Typical cervical vertebrae structures include body, spinous process, transverse process, and vertebral foramen.
Function includes supporting the skull and allowing for a range of head movements.

Ankle and Foot Anatomy

Key structures in the ankle: tibia, fibula, talus, and supporting ligaments.
Foot anatomy includes metatarsals, phalanges, and arches for weight distribution and movement.

Bone Anatomy

Essential components of bone: diaphysis (shaft), epiphysis (ends), medullary cavity, and periosteum (outer layer).
Compact and spongy bone types facilitate strength and lightweight structure.

Shoulder and Upper Limb

Shoulder structures: scapula, clavicle, humerus, and associated joints.
Upper limb includes radius and ulna in the forearm, aiding mobility and manipulation.

Vertebral Anatomy

Basic vertebral structures: body, neural arch, processes for muscle attachment, and intervertebral discs.
Vertebral groups include cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions.

Skull Anatomy

Key skull features include frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital bones.
Lateral view highlights zygomatic arch and mandible structure.

Pelvic Structures

Pelvic anatomy involves ilium, ischium, pubis, and pelvic inlet/outlet measurements.
Provides support for weight-bearing activities and female reproductive organs.

Thoracic Vertebrae

Thoracic vertebrae possess additional facets for rib articulation and a longer spinous process.
They play a crucial role in protecting the thoracic organs.

Carpal Bones

Specific carpal bones include scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
These bones provide the structure and mobility of the wrist.

Lower Body Bones

Includes femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.
Key for locomotion and supporting body weight.

Anterior Skull Features

Distinctive features of the anterior skull include nasal cavity, orbits, and maxilla.
Important for sensory functions and facial structure.

Scapula Anatomy

Scapula features include acromion, coracoid process, spine, and glenoid cavity.
Vital for arm movements and shoulder stability.

Thoracic Cage

Comprised of ribs, sternum, and thoracic vertebrae.
Functions to protect vital organs and support breathing.

Hip Structures

Key components: acetabulum, ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Crucial for maintaining balance and mobility during locomotion.

Inferior Skull Features

Inferior view highlights the mandible, occipital condyles, and foramina for nerve passage.
Important for understanding cranial nerve pathways.

Bone Structure Miscellanea

Variations in structure allow for diverse functions within systems including support, protection, and blood cell production.
Each type of bone has unique features tailored to its specific role in the body.
