Study Notes
Introduction to Gross Anatomy
- Gross anatomy involves studying structures visible to the naked eye without microscopy.
- Originated from the 14th-century Latin term "anatomia" meaning dissection.
Anatomical Position
- Anatomical Position is crucial for standardized communication in anatomy.
- Defined as the body standing erect, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward.
- Feet are placed close together with toes pointing forward.
Anatomical Planes and Axes
- Cardinal planes of the body include sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes.
- Axes of motion correspond to the planes:
- Sagittal axis for flexion and extension.
- Frontal axis for abduction and adduction.
- Vertical axis for rotation.
Terms of Movement
-
Flexion and Extension:
- Flexion decreases the angle between body parts.
- Extension increases the angle.
-
Plantar and Dorsiflexion:
- Plantar flexion points toes downward.
- Dorsiflexion points toes upward.
-
Abduction and Adduction:
- Abduction moves limbs away from the midline.
- Adduction moves limbs toward the midline.
- Lateral Flexion: Bending the body to the side.
-
Radial and Ulnar Deviation:
- Radial deviation moves the wrist away from the body.
- Ulnar deviation moves the wrist towards the body.
-
Inversion and Eversion:
- Inversion turns the sole of the foot inward.
- Eversion turns the sole outward.
- Circumduction: Circular movement of a limb.
-
Rotation:
- Medial rotation turns a limb towards the body.
- Lateral rotation turns a limb away from the body.
-
Pronation and Supination:
- Pronation rotates the forearm so palms face down.
- Supination rotates the forearm so palms face up.
-
Protraction and Retraction:
- Protraction moves a part forward.
- Retraction moves a part backward.
- Opposition and Reposition: Movement of the thumb towards and away from the fingers.
Approaches in Anatomy
- Systemic Anatomy: Studies body systems.
- Anatomical Regions: Divides the body into specific areas.
- Clinical or Applied Anatomy: Focuses on practical applications in medicine.
Terms of Laterality and Depth
- Laterality: Refers to the sides of the body (left and right).
- Depth: Involves superficial (near the surface) versus deep (further away) descriptions.
Medico-legal Body Diagram
- Useful for identifying injuries or lesions in legal contexts.
- Incorporates anatomical terminology for precision in cases.
Lecture Objectives
- Ability to create precise anatomical descriptions from clinical images.
- Understand and illustrate cardinal planes and axes of the body.
- Define essential anatomical terms and categorize body structures into regions and systems.
