Study Notes
Anatomical Terms and Positions
- Anterior refers to locations toward the front of the body.
- Superior describes positions near to the head.
- The distal part of a limb is located farther from the trunk or root of the limb.
- Medial indicates a position at the midline of the body.
- Parietal signifies being outside an organ or cavity.
- Lateral is used for locations near to the side of the body.
Anatomical Planes
- The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right sections, important for understanding lateral movement and anatomical positioning.
- Transverse (horizontal) or axial planes cut the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts, facilitating cross-sectional views in imaging and anatomical studies.
Skeletal System
- The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, providing support and protecting the brain and spinal cord.
Digestive System
- Three organs of the digestive system include the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
Circulatory System
- Heart components:
- Part 1 is likely the right atrium.
- Part 2 is likely the right ventricle.
- Part 3 is likely the left atrium.
- Part 4 is likely the left ventricle.
Nervous System
- The central nervous system comprises the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves, playing a crucial role in processing and responding to stimuli.
Functional Planes
- Coronal planes divide the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections, essential for assessing the frontal aspects of anatomy.
Anatomical Positioning
- Superficial refers to structures closer to the body surface, whereas deep indicates those further away from the surface.
- Central in anatomy describes a position toward the center of the body, often relating to organ placement or structural orientation.
Respiratory System
- Two key organs of the respiratory system are the lungs and trachea.
