Study Notes
Anatomy Branches
- Osteology is the branch of anatomy that deals with the structure and function of bones.
Skeletal System
- The axial skeleton provides support and protection for the body's internal organs.
- The hyoid apparatus provides a point of attachment for muscles of the tongue, pharynx, and larynx.
Bone Types
- Spongy bones have similar dimensions in length, width, and thickness and act as shock absorbers.
- Pneumatic bones contain air spaces or sinuses.
Comparative Anatomy
- Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species.
Microscopic Anatomy
- Histology is the study of the finer details of structure by using a microscope.
Developmental Anatomy
- Embryology is the study of the stages through which the organism develops from conception through birth, youth, and maturity to old age.
Splanchnology
- Splanchnology is the study of the visceral organs, which includes the digestive system, respiratory system, urinary system, male and female genital systems.
