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.
