Study of the structural organization of the human body in relation to health
Is the foundation of the medical knowledge
Comes from Greek word
anatome– body cutting

Regional approach Systemic approach

Regional approach
Studies the boundaries, contents, structures etc. in a particular region
Including: bones, joints, muscles, fasciae,
blood vessels, lymphatic drainage, nerves.

The language of anatomy
Anatomy has special terminology Comes from Latin/Greek
e.g. Lavator - elevate/raise Labium - lip Pollicis - Pollex/thumb Peri - around Halucis halux - big toe
![Page 15: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Anatomical position Standing erect, Feet together, Arms by the side; Head, eyes, palms facing forward.
![Page 16: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Anatomical Position
The anatomical position is a standardized method of observing or imaging the body that allows precise and consistent anatomical references.
When in the anatomical position, the subject stands (Figure 1.5). standing upright facing the observer, head level eyes facing forward feet flat on the floor arms at the sides palms turned forward (ventral)

Reclining Position
If the body is lying face down, it is in the prone position.
If the body is lying face up, it is in the supine position.
![Page 20: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Basic body planes or sections
These terms are used for planes or sections that cut the body, organs, tissues, or cells
![Page 21: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

![Page 22: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Body Planes
Median plane A back to front vertical plane through the
midline. Divides the body into equal right and left
halves.
Sagittal plane Any plane parallel to the median plane Median is a form of sagittal planes Paramedian are typical sagittal planes
![Page 23: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Frontal plane Any vertical plane at right angles to the
median plane. Also called coronal plane.
Transverse plane Any horizontal plane at right angles to
both the sagittal and frontal planes.
![Page 24: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Terms of relationship
Superior and inferior A structure closer to the head than the other is
superior structure away from the head is inferior. In embryology the term cranial replaces superior
whereas caudal replaces inferior. Anterior and posterior
A structure nearer the front of the body is anterior; whereas the one nearer the back is posterior.
In embryology ventral replaces anterior; and dorsal replaces posterior.
![Page 25: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Medial and lateral A structure closer to the median plane is medial A structure away from the median plane is ;lateral A structure exactly in the midline is median.
Proximal and distal This is applied mainly to the limbs. A structure nearer to the point of attachment of the limb
is proximal, a structure away from the attachment is distal.
![Page 26: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Supine and prone Supine refers to the body lying on its back Prone refers to the body lying on its face.
Superficial and deep/profundus A structure nearer to the surface than the other is
superficial. A structure away from the surface is deep or
profundus.
![Page 27: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Terms of movement Flexion
Movement that decreases the angle of a joint.
Extension Movement that increase the angle
Abduction Movement away from the median plane Abduction of the fingers refers to
spreading the fingers

Adduction Movement towards the median plane of the body
Opposition Specific movement where the thumb tip touches
another finger tip e.g. when holds a pen, grasp a cup handle etc
Reposition Is when the thumb returns to its anatomical position

shoulders are elevated when raising the upper limb above.

![Page 33: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Body cavities and membranes Dorsal cavity divided into cranial and vertebral Ventral cavity containing viscera (visceral
organs) divided into two main cavities Thoracic cavity
2 lateral pleural cavities Central mediastinum containing pericardial
cavity Abdominopelvic cavity
Abdominal cavity Pelvic cavity
Serous cavities are slit-like spaces lined by serous membranes (serosa): Parietal serosa forms the outer wall of the cavity Visceral serosa covers the visceral organ
Other smaller cavities: in head, between joints
![Page 34: 1 introduction to anatomy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5879d2981a28ab842c8b5687/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

1.) parietal or
visceral
2.) pericardial, pleural, or peritoneal*
Naming of serous membranes (serosa) with 2 adjectives:
Parietal serosa forms the outer wall of the cavityVisceral serosa covers the visceral organ
Pericardial: heartPleural: lungsPeritoneal: abdominal
