regional anatomy
you can go into a particular region and study all of the structures and its common when we do dissection anatomy
Have everything, all the systems in that region
systemic anatomy
you dont need to dissect but you study the system one at a time (11 systems), such as muscular system or cardiovascular system.
- Vessels are named after the regions they are located in. Pulse is taken from the femoral artery which is in the femoral region. Primary bone in that region is the Femur.
anatomical nomenclature
Always described by the patients point of view.
anatomical language
Clear communication and consistency.
Using anatomical directions, regions, and landmarks
anatomical position
Palms facing forward with arms to the side
Feet pointing forward with parallel legs
Head facing straight ahead.
medial
means towards the midline
Sternum is more medial compared to the humerus
lateral
means to the sides of the midline
Humerus is more lateral than the sternum
superficial
means closer to the surface of the body
deep
means more internal
superior
means towards the top
inferior
means towards the bottom
axial, proximal,distal
axial means the core of the body,
as you move towards the core of the body, you are becoming moreproximal, and as you move away you become moredistal.
Feet are more distal than the knees
If something is below the elbow it is distal and above is proximal
diff planes
Coronal (front plane)
○ Separates into posterior and anterior portions
Sagittal
○ Midsagittalis on the midline
○ Parasagittalis not on the midline
○ Separates into left and right side
Transverse
○ Separates into top and bottom portions
body cavities
Ventral Body Cavity (coelom)
○ Separatedbydiaphragm into thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
Thoracic
○ containsright pleural, mediastinum, left pleural cavity
○ Mediastinumalsocontainspericardial cavity
Abdominopelvic
○ Containsabdominal cavityandpelvic cavity
body compartments
- Separated by joints and fascia
Thigh has medial anterior and posterior
Lower leg has lateral anterior and posterior
Anterior is towards the front when in anatomical position
body organization
- 200 types of cells
- 4 types of tissues in the human body
- organs come together to form systems
