Better depiction of Anatomy or Physiology?

System Function Matching!

• PROTECTS!

Integumentary System

• SUPPORT!• BLOOD CELLS

FORMED WITHIN BONES

Skeletal System

• MOVEMENT!• PRODUCES HEAT

Muscular System

• CONTROL SYSTEM!

Nervous System

• SECRETES HORMONES THAT REGULATE GROWTH, REPRODUCTION, AND METABOLISM

Endocrine System

• TRANSPORTATION!

Cardiovascular System

• DEFENSE!

Lymphatic System

• GAS DELIVERY AND EXCHANGE (O2 AND CO2)

Respiratory System

• PROCESSES FOOD• ABSORBS NUTRIENTS

Digestive System

• EXCRETES WASTES, WATER, AND SALTS

Urinary/Excretory System

• PRODUCES SEX CELLS AND HORMONES

Reproductive System

Male

Female

What is the term for largest classification of anatomy structures?

Gross

• Gross Anatomy– The anatomical position (see

right)– Directional and regional

terms

Anatomical Position

Body erect, feet together, palms facing forward, thumbs away from body.

Note: when talking about right/left, you are talking about the patients right or left side, not your own.

• Axial: head, neck and trunk. Contains dorsal and ventral cavities.

• Appendicular: upper and lower limbs

Divisions of the Body

• Describes the location of one part of the body in relation to another.

Relative Positions

• Superior: above another part or closer to the head

• Inferior: below another body part or closer to the feet

• Anterior (ventral): towards the front of the body (breastbone anterior to spine)

• Posterior (dorsal): towards the back of the body (spine posterior to the breastbone)

• Medial: toward the middle of the body

• Lateral: away from the middle, towards the outer side of the body

• Proximal: closer to the point of attachment to the trunk (elbow is proximal to the wrist)

• Distal: farther from the point of attachment to the trunk (knee is distal to the thigh)

• Superficial: toward or at the body surface• Deep: away from the body surface, more internal

Body planes and sections - cut into sections along a flat surface called a plane

(also called XS – cross section)

(also called coronal)

Body planes

• Body is 3D

• Can be split into three planes

• Sagittal• Coronal• Transverse

Sagittal Plane• Plane splitting the body

into two parts (left and right)

• Sagittal section is a cut made longitudinally along the body

• If it splits into two equal parts = midsagittal

Coronal Plane

• Plane which splits body into anterior and posterior section

• Ie. Facelift

Transverse Plane

• Separates body along horizontal plane

• Also called a cross section

• Will divide an organism into superior and inferior parts

Body Cavities

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Scheme_body_cavities-en.svg

Cavities• Opening within body

which protects internal organs, and allows transfer of materials/information

• 2 Divisions– Dorsal– Ventral

Dorsal Cavities

• Made up of two smaller cavities

• 1) Cranial Cavity – holds and protects brain

• 2) Spinal Cavity – column which runs through vertebra and protects spinal chord

Ventral Cavities Thoracic Abdominopelvic

Ventral Cavities• 1) Thoracic – chest area

(holds heart, lungs, and diaphragm)

• 2) Abdominopelvic – lower torso (holds digestive and reproductive organs)

Bovine Pleural Cavity Collapsed Lung in Pleural Cavity

Pleural cavity is the space between the membranes covering the chest wall and lungs.
