Study Notes
- The purpose of the lecture is to identify: the meaning of anatomy and parts of the body, anatomical terms, and different positions.
Anatomy
- Anatomy is the study of the body's structure.
- The term "anatomy" originates from the Greek word "Anatome," signifying dissect or cut apart.
Parts of the Human Body
- The main parts are Head, Neck, Trunk, and Extremities.
- The trunk includes the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis with external genitalia.
Extremities
- The upper limb includes the shoulder joint, arm, elbow joint, forearm, wrist joint, hand, and fingers.
- The lower limb includes the gluteal region, hip joint, thigh, knee joint, leg, ankle joint, foot, and toes.
Anatomical position
- It means standing erect with arms straight by the sides.
- The legs are close together, with eyes and palms facing forward.
Body Positions
- Supine is lying on the back.
- Prone is lying on the front with the face downwards.
Anatomical Planes
- Median (sagittal) plane is a vertical plane that bisects the body anteroposteriorly through the midline into two equal right and left halves.
- Paramedian (parasagittal) plane is a vertical plane parallel to the median plane, dividing the body into unequal right and left parts.
- Coronal plane is a vertical plane dividing the body into anterior and posterior parts.
- Horizontal (transverse) plane divides the body into upper and lower sections.
Anatomical Terms
- Medial means towards the median plane.
- Lateral means away from the median plane.
- Superior (cranial or cephalic) means towards the head.
- Inferior (caudal) means towards the feet.
- Proximal means near or towards the trunk.
- Distal means away or far from the trunk.
- Anterior (ventral) means towards the front of the body.
- Posterior (dorsal) means towards the back of the body.
- Superficial means towards the surface of the body.
- Deep means away from the surface of the body.
- Ipsilateral refers to the same side of the body.
- Contralateral refers to the opposite side of the body.
Anatomical Movements
- Flexion is approximation of ventral surfaces, decreasing the angle between them.
- Extension is when ventral surfaces move away from each other, increasing the angle between them.
- Adduction is moving toward the midline.
- Abduction is moving away from the midline.
- Medial rotation is the movement of a ventral surface towards the midline, involves pronation in the forearm so the palm faces backwards.
- Lateral rotation is the movement of a ventral surface away from the midline, involves supination in the forearm so the palm faces forwards.
- Elevation is moving up.
- Depression is moving down.
- Protraction is moving anteriorly.
- Retraction is moving posteriorly.
- Circumduction is a combined rotatory movement involving extension, abduction, flexion, and adduction.
