Study Notes

Anatomy

Anatomy is the study of the structure of the human body and the relationship of its constituent parts to each other.
The cell is the basic unit of the human body. Cells tend to group together in similar appearance and function, forming tissues.
Tissues form organs, and organs form systems, which work together to perform complex functions.
The main approaches to studying anatomy are regional, systemic, and clinical (applied).

Regional Anatomy

This approach focuses on specific body parts, regions, or subregions.
It examines the arrangement and relationships of various systemic structures (muscles, nerves, arteries etc.) within a specific region.

Systemic Anatomy

This approach recognizes the organization of body organs into systems working together for complex functions.
Key systems include integumentary, skeletal, articular, muscular, nervous, circulatory, digestive, and respiratory.

Integumentary System

Consists of the skin and its appendages.

Skeletal System (Osteology)

Consists of bones and cartilages.

Articular System (Arthrology)

Consists of joints and their associated ligaments.

Muscular System (Myology)

Consists of muscles that cause movement.

Nervous System (Neurology)

Composed of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves and ganglia).

Circulatory System (Angiology)

Includes the cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels) and lymphatic systems which work together to transport bodily fluids.

Digestive System (Gastroenterology)

Includes organs and glands associated with ingestion, mastication, digestion, absorption of food, and elimination of solid waste.

Respiratory System

Includes air passages and lungs supplying oxygen to the blood and eliminating carbon dioxide.

Urinary System (Urology)

Consists of kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra which filter and remove excess bodily fluids.

Reproductive System

Consists of gonads (ovaries and testes), and the ducts involved in transporting reproductive cells (eggs and sperm).

Endocrine System (Endocrinology)

Consists of discrete ductless glands (such as the thyroid gland)

Clinical Anatomy

Emphasizes the application of anatomical knowledge to medicine.

Anatomical Position

Erect standing position, eyes forward, arms at sides with palms of hands facing forward and perpendicular to the body.

Anatomical Planes

Median sagittal plane divides the body into equal right and left halves.
Paramedian sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane.
Coronal plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
Horizontal or transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower parts.

Terms of Position

Anterior (ventral): structures closer to the front.
Posterior (dorsal): structures closer to the back.
Superior: structures closer to the head.
Inferior: structures closer to the feet.
Medial: structures closer to the midline.
Lateral: structures farther from the midline.
Proximal: structures closer to the point of attachment.
Distal: structures farther from the point of attachment.
Superficial: structures closer to the surface of the body.
Deep: structures farther from the surface of the body.

Flexion: Decreasing the angle of a joint.
Extension: Increasing the angle of a joint.
Abduction: Moving a limb away from the midline.
Adduction: Moving a limb toward the midline.
Rotation: Turning a bone around its long axis.
Circumduction: Moving a limb in a circular motion.
Lateral Flexion: Bending the trunk sideways.

Additional topics:

Skin: Its layers (epidermis and dermis) function, and appendages.
Hairs and follicles: Their structure and distribution on the body.
Sweat glands: Their structure and function in temperature regulation.
Nails: Their structure and function.
Bones (osteology): Various types (long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid, pneumatic) of bone, structure and functions.
Joints: Classification into fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial, and common types of synovial joints with descriptions.
Muscles : Different forms (strap, fusiform, unipennate, bipennate, multipennated, circumpennate) and their functions.
Fat (adipose)
