Study Notes
Body Structure
- The human body is divided into systems and body parts
- Examples of body parts include the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
Anatomical Position
- The body is standing erect, also known as anatomical position
- The face and eyes are directed forward
- The arms are straight by the sides with palms facing forward
- The feet are close to each other
Anatomical Planes
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into right and left parts
- Coronal Plane: Divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
- Transverse Plane: Divides the body into upper and lower parts
Anatomical Terms Related to Position
- Superior/Inferior: Superior refers to structures above, inferior to structures below
- Anterior/Posterior: Anterior refers to structures in the front, posterior to structures in the back
- Medial/Lateral: Medial refers to the middle, lateral to the sides
- Proximal/Distal: Proximal refers to closer to the point of origin, distal further away from the point of origin
- Superficial/Deep: Superficial refers to close to the body's surface, deep refers to further away from the body's surface
Anatomical Terms Related to Movement
- Flexion/Extension: Flexion decreases the angle of the joint, extension increases the angle of the joint
- Abduction/Adduction: Abduction moves a limb away from the midline, Adduction moves a limb towards the midline
- Rotation: The rotation of the bone around its axis
- Elevation/Depression: Moving a structure upwards, moving a structure downwards
Anatomical Position
- The body is standing erect with the face and eyes directed forward
- The upper limbs are straight at the sides with palms directed forward
- The feet are close to each other
Anatomical Planes
- Sagittal plane: A vertical plane that divides the body into right and left parts
- Transverse plane: A horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower parts
- **Coronal plane:**A vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
Anatomical Terms Related to Position
-
Superior/inferior: Superior refers to a structure that is higher than another structure. Inferior refers to a structure that is lower than another structure.
-
Anterior / posterior: Anterior refers to a structure that is towards the front of the body. Posterior refers to a structure that is towards the back of the body.
-
Median / Medial/lateral: The median plane divides the body into equal right and left halves. Medial means closer to the median plane, while lateral means further away from the median plane.
-
Proximal/Distal: Proximal refers to a structure that is closer to the point of attachment. Distal refers to a structure that is further away from the point of attachment.
-
Superficial /Deep: Superficial means closer to the surface of the body. Deep means further away from the surface of the body.
-
Point 2 to point 1 is: d. Distal
- Distal refers to a structure that is further away from the point of attachment.
Anatomical Terms Related to Movement
- Flexion/extension: Flexion decreases the angle between bones. Extension increases the angle between bones.
- Abduction / adduction: Abduction moves a limb away from the midline of the body. Adduction moves a limb towards the midline of the body.
- Rotation: Rotation involves the movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis.
- Elevation/depression: Elevation means moving a structure upwards. Depression means moving a structure downwards.
