Study Notes
Week 4: Body Structure & Positions
- Learning Objectives: Students should be able to recognize anatomical terms, reproduce anatomical regions, and identify anatomical positions.
Definition of Human Anatomy
- Anatomy is the branch of biology studying human body structure and its parts.
- Basic anatomy studies all body features and parts.
- Clinical anatomy studies the human body in relation to diseases and congenital anomalies.
Divisions of Anatomy
- Gross (Macroscopic) anatomy: Studies body features visible to the naked eye.
- Tissue (Microscopic) anatomy (Histology): Studies features only visible with a microscope.
- Embryology (Developmental anatomy): Studies gametogenesis (sperm and egg formation), fertilization, and embryo development until birth, including congenital anomalies.
- Surface anatomy: Studies the boundaries of internal organs on the outer body surface (drawing internal organs on the body surface).
- Radiological anatomy: Studies how different body parts appear on radiology images.
Regions of the Human Body
- Head and neck
- Upper limbs
- Lower limbs
- Trunk (anatomically divided into):
- Thorax
- Abdomen
- Pelvis
- Perineum
Systems of the Human Body
- Digestive system: Responsible for digestion and absorption.
- Cardiovascular system: Circulates blood throughout the body.
- Respiratory system: Involved in gas exchange and olfaction (smell).
- Urinary system: Filters urine from blood, conveying it outside the body.
- Nervous system: Controls voluntary movement, sensations, and other body systems.
- Musculoskeletal system: Responsible for movement.
Anatomical Position
- Body standing upright.
- Face and eyes forward.
- Upper limbs by the sides, palms facing forward.
- Lower limbs close together, toes forward.
Questions (True/False)
- Macroscopic anatomy = naked-eye view
- Microscopic anatomy = Histology
- Embryology = intrauterine development
- Surface anatomy = outer body surface
- Radiological anatomy = imaging
