Study Notes
Introduction to Anatomy
- A superficial cut penetrates only the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis.
- The skin consists of two layers: the epidermis (superficial) and dermis (deep).
Terms of Comparison
- Cephalic refers to the head or upper part of the body.
- Superior indicates a position above, while Inferior means below.
Movement Types
- Extension increases the angle between body parts in a sagittal plane, resulting in a straightened position.
- Rotation involves turning a body part around its longitudinal axis without significant movement through space.
- Internal Rotation brings the anterior surface of a limb closer to the median plane.
Anatomical Positions
- The umbilicus is positioned infero-medially to the nipple, indicating it is nearer to the feet and the midline of the body.
- The pelvis is relatively inferior (caudal) to the thoracic region, indicating its lower position in the body hierarchy.
Joints and Movement
- Joints are areas where two or more bones come together, enabling movement.
- Ipsilateral refers to structures on the same side of the body relative to a reference point.
Body Planes
- The coronal plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
Major Body Tissues
- Glandular tissue, a specialized epithelial tissue, produces and secretes substances; it is important to distinguish it from other tissue types such as connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Pancreas Functionality
- The pancreas functions in both the digestive and endocrine systems, producing digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin and glucagon.
Lumbar Region
- The lumbar region corresponds to the lower back, located between the thoracic region and sacrum.
