Intro, Seperation Of The Body

Question 1

Microscopic Anatomy

Answer 1

The study of small anatomical structures that cannot be seen by the naked eye (Ex: Cells and Tissues)

Question 2

Macroscopic (Gross) Anatomy

Answer 2

The study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye. (Can be split further into 3 different sections)
Surface Anatomy (External body)
Regional Anatomy (Specific Regions of the body)
Systemic Anatomy (Specific organ systems)

Question 3

List the levels of organization of the human body from smallest to biggest

Answer 3

Cells —> Tissues —> Organs—> Organ Systems —> The human

Question 4

What is the definition of tissue? And what are the four major families of tissue

Answer 4

Tissues are a collection of similar cells that formed together to produce a specific function.
The 4 families of tissue are
1. Epithelial
2. Connective
3. Muscle
4. Nervous

Question 5

Give me the Anatomical names for the regions of the “Arm” and “Forearm”

Answer 5

Brachial (Arm), Ante-brachial (Forearm)

Question 6

What is the anatomical name of the thigh?

Answer 6

Femoral

Question 7

What is the anatomical name of the leg?

Answer 7

The Anterior Crural

Question 8

What is “Anatomical Position” and describe it

Answer 8

Anatomical position is when the figure is standing in an upright position where the hands are in a “Supinated form”.
(Always determine the left and rights of an anatomical figure from THEIR POV)

Question 9

Define “Supine”

Answer 9

Lying down with the face up
(The hand can hold Soup)

Question 10

Define “Prone”

Answer 10

Lying down with the face down

Question 11

What are the two Anatomical directions used when describing something in a “Lateral” position, from side to side

Answer 11

Posterior/Dorsal and Anterior/Ventral

Question 12

Anatomical direction relating something closer to the head?

Answer 12

Cranial or superior

Question 13

Anatomical direction for something closer to the “Tail” of the body?

Answer 13

Caudal or Inferior

Question 14

How do you describe of something is higher or lower than each other anatomically?

Answer 14

The term “Superior” is used to describe something higher, while “Inferior” is used to describe something lower

Question 15

How do you describe something relating it to the midline of the body?

Answer 15

The term “Lateral” is used to refer to something away from the midline of the body while “Medial” is used to refer to something closer to the middle of the body

Question 16

How to describe if something is closer or farther away anatomically?

Answer 16

The term “Proximal” is used to describe e something that is closer, while “Distal” is used to refer to something that is farther

Ex: The scapula is proximal to the elbow while the hand is distal to the elbow

Question 17

What are the three planes or “Sections” of the human body and describe how they are split

Answer 17

1. The Frontal/Coronal plane
   Split into Front-back sections or Anterior/posterior sections (Frontally/Coronally)
2. The Sagittal plane or “Side to Side” plane, splits the body from side to side. (Sagittally)
3. The Transversal or Cross-sectional plane, separates the body from “Up and Down” (Transversely/Horizontally)

Question 18

How are the three planes of anatomical reference correlated to axis of rotation?

Answer 18

The Sagittal plane rotates along the frontal axis
The frontal plane rotates along the Sagittal axis
The Transversal plane rotates along the Vertical axis
