    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.
