    Study Notes

    Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

    • This lecture covers basic anatomy and physiology, including terminology, body planes, regions, levels of organisation, and body systems.
    • The study of anatomy focuses on identifying and describing the physical structure and parts of organisms.
    • Physiology examines the normal functions of living organisms and their parts.
    • Anatomy is structure, and physiology is function.

    Session Aims

    • Define anatomy and physiology.
    • Use anatomical terminology to describe body planes, directions, and regions.
    • Identify the levels of organisation within the body.
    • Identify body systems and describe their functions.
    • Define anatomy and its subdivisions.
    • Use word roots to understand anatomical terminology.
    • Define the anatomical position.
    • Use anatomical terminology to describe body directions, regions, and planes.
    • Identify the levels of structural organisation in the human body.
    • Describe the systems of the body and their functions.

    Defining the Terms

    • Anatomy is the study of the physical structures and parts of living organisms.
    • Physiology is the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of organisms and their parts.

    Anatomy in Edinburgh

    • Edinburgh has a strong reputation for anatomical study.
    • The Surgeons' Hall Museum and the Anatomical Museum (open monthly) in the city are open to the public.
    • These museums contain anatomical artifacts and historical information related to anatomical study.

    Burke and Hare

    • Burke and Hare were infamous characters in Edinburgh in 1828.
    • They committed a series of murders, selling bodies to medical schools for dissection.
    • Their crimes led to the Anatomy Act of 1832
    • Life masks and books believed to be made from their skin are kept in Surgeons' Hall Museum.

    The Anatomical Position

    • The anatomical position is a standing position with feet slightly apart and palms facing forward.
    • It is used as a standard reference point for describing the location of body parts in relation to each other.
    • The arms are to the side of the body, head forward and thumbs away from the body.

    Directional Terms

    • Superior: Toward the head.
    • Inferior: Away from the head.
    • Anterior: Front of the body.
    • Posterior: Back of the body.
    • Medial: Towards the middle of the body.
    • Lateral: Away from the middle of the body.
    • Proximal: Close to the point of attachment.
    • Distal: Far from the point of attachment.
    • Intermediate: Between two structures.

    Planes of the Body

    • Sagittal: A vertical plane dividing the body into right and left halves.
    • Coronal (Frontal): A vertical plane dividing the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) halves.
    • Transverse (Axial): A horizontal plane dividing the body into top and bottom halves.

    Body Regions

    • The five regions are: head, neck, torso (trunk), upper extremities, and lower extremities.
    • The torso includes the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
    • The upper extremities include the arms, shoulders, and armpits.
    • The lower extremities consist of the legs, buttocks, thighs, knees, ankles and feet.

    Body Cavities

    • Body cavities are enclosed spaces that house internal organs.
    • The major cavities are cranial (brain), vertebral (spinal cord), thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities.
    • The location of different organs in each cavity.

    Abdominopelvic Regions and Quadrants

    • The abdominopelvic regions and quadrants refer to the divisions into smaller areas for easily describing where an internal organ can be found.

    Fill in the Correct Terms (Practice Questions)

    • Contains practice questions with anatomical and directional terminology.

    Levels of Organisation

    • Describes the levels of structural organization of the human body including: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system and organism.

    Body Systems

    • This section covers the various organ systems of the body.
    • Each system is described in terms of its components and functions, including functions of the: Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Endocrine, Nervous, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, and Reproductive systems.
