Study Notes

Dr. Ali Albasam is a lecturer in the Department of Anatomy. He is summarizing the objectives and goals of the Anatomy course.
The Anatomy course is a foundational biological course in which students learn the structural and functional relationships of the human body.
Students are taught through lectures, dissections, models, videos, and interactive software.
At the end of the course, students should be able to form hypotheses based on presentations of lost or impaired function.
The course covers the developmental events of anatomy, including prenatal and postnatal development.
Students learn to differentiate between bones, joints, and joint movements, and to identify the anatomy of the heart, blood vessels, and the brain and spinal cord.
The course covers the study of the structures and their functions in the human body, referred to as anatomy and physiology.
Anatomy means "to cut up" or "to cut open," and it is the scientific discipline that deals with the study of structures and their arrangements in the human body.
The course covers surface anatomy, which is the study of structures that are perceptible to touch, and clinical anatomy, which emphasizes aspects of bodily structure and function important in the practice of medicine.
Students learn about the different types of anatomy, including gross anatomy (the study of structures visible to the naked eye), developmental anatomy, comparative anatomy, and microscopic anatomy.
The course covers the history of anatomy, including early Greek and Roman contributions.
The human body is made up of different levels of organization, including the chemical and cellular levels, tissue and organ levels, and organ system and organism levels.
The human body is made up of four main types of tissue: epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscle tissue.
Muscle tissue produces movement and maintains posture. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and visceral.
Muscles are elongated structures made up of muscle cells, and contraction of muscles is due to the movement of microfilaments.
Muscles are named based on their location, size, and direction of muscle fibers. For example, the rectus abdominis muscle is a straight muscle located in the abdomen.
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and produce movement. They are striated, multinucleated, and voluntary.
Cardiac muscle is responsible for the heart's contraction and is striated, one central nucleus, and involuntary.
Smooth muscle is responsible for the contraction of internal organs and is non-striated, one central nucleus, and involuntary.
The naming of skeletal muscles follows a consistent pattern, with names based on the direction, size, and location of the muscles. For example, the biceps muscle is a large muscle located in the front of the upper arm, and its name comes from the Latin word for "bent" or "curved."
