Study Notes
Week 1 - Terminology and Anatomical Positions
- Anatomy is the study of body structure
- Physiology is the study of how body parts interact
- Structure and function are interconnected (e.g., red blood cells, pectus excavatum)
- Anatomical position: Subject stands erect, facing forward, arms at sides, palms forward, feet flat.
- Axial region: Core of the body (head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvic, and back of the neck areas)
- Appendicular region: Limbs (upper and lower) - includes armpit, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, palm, thumb and thigh, knee, leg, foot, and ankle.
Directional Terms
- Ventral: Toward the front/belly
- Dorsal: Toward the back/spine
- Anterior: Towards the front
- Posterior: Toward the back
- Cephalic: Towards the head
- Rostral: Towards the forehead/nose
- Caudal: Towards the tail/inferior end
- Superior: Above
- Inferior: Below
- Medial: Toward the midline
- Lateral: Away from the midline
- Proximal: Closer to the point of attachment
- Distal: Farther from the point of attachment
- Ipsilateral: On the same side of the body
- Contralateral: On opposite sides of the body
- Superficial: Closer to the body surface
- Deep: Farther from the body surface
C146 - Body Cavities, Planes, and Sections
- Body cavities compartmentalize organs for protection and change in shape/size.
- Dorsal cavity: Cranial (brain) and Vertebral (spinal cord)
- Thoracic cavity: Heart and lungs (pericardial and parietal cavities)
- Abdominopelvic cavity: Abdominal (stomach, intestines) and Pelvic (bladder, reproductive)
- Thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities are separated by the diaphragm.
Subdivisions of the Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Cavity
- Thoracic Cavity: Two pleural cavities (each containing a lung) and mediastinum (containing heart, trachea, esophagus). Pericardial cavity surrounds the heart.
- Abdominopelvic Cavity: Abdominal cavity contains stomach intestines, spleen, and liver (superior). Pelvic cavity contains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum (inferior).
Four Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions
- Four quadrants: Right upper, left upper, right lower, and left lower.
