Study Notes

Anatomy Fundamentals

Anatomy refers to the study of the structure and organization of living things.
The term 'anatomy' originates from the Greek words 'ana' meaning "up" or "through" and 'tome' meaning "cutting".

Branches of Anatomy

Gross Anatomy: focuses on the study of the macroscopic structure of organs and organ systems.
Surface Anatomy: deals with the external body surface and anatomical landmarks.
Microscopic Anatomy: focuses on the study of microscopic structures of tissues and cells.

Organ Systems

The integumentary system is responsible for the distribution of parts or features on the surface of or within an organ or organism.

Biological Classification

Linnaean Taxonomy primarily involves the classification of living organisms into hierarchical groups based on their characteristics.
The order 'Artiodactyla' consists of cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, and pig, and is classified under the Linnaean system.

Embryology

Embryology is the science of the development of an embryo from the fertilization of the ovum to the fetal stage.

Topographical Anatomy

Regional/Topographical Anatomy emphasizes the position-relationship of anatomical structures in a body region.

Systemic Anatomy

Systemic Anatomy focuses on the study of organ systems, such as the circulatory system, which is responsible for the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products in the body.

Dissection

Dissection involves the detailed examination of the internal structure of an organism through systematic cutting and separation of its parts.

Classification

'Carnivora' is an order under the biological classification system.
Histology is the study of tissues, and Cytology is the study of cells.
