Study Notes
Anatomical Planes
- Coronal Plane: Divides the body into dorsal (upper) and ventral (lower) parts.
- Midsagittal Plane: A vertical plane that divides the body into equal right and left halves.
- Parasagittal Plane: A plane parallel to the midsagittal plane, dividing the body into unequal right and left parts.
Types of Anatomy
- Systemic Anatomy: Involves the study of body systems such as the Digestive and Respiratory systems.
- Applied Anatomy: Focuses on the practical application of anatomical knowledge in fields like medicine and surgery.
Anatomical Orientation
- Transverse Plane: Perpendicular to the long axis of the body, dividing it into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts.
- Horizontal Plane: Parallel to the dorsal (back) and ventral (front) surfaces of the body.
Directional Terms
- Caudal: Describes a position towards the tail end of the body.
- Superficial: Refers to structures located closer to the surface of the body.
- Abaxial: Implies a position away from the axis of the digit (finger or toe).
- Lateral: Indicates a position away from the median plane.
- Distal: Refers to a position that is further away from the trunk of the body.
