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.
