Sub disciplines of Anatomy
gross, regional, systemic, surface, microscopic, developmental, embryology, pathological, radiographic, functional morphology
The hierarchy of structural organization
chemical->cellular->tissue-> organ->organ system-> organismal level
Tissue level (4 types)

-epithelial: covers/lines


-connective : supports/protects organs


-muscle: provides movement


-nervous: fast communication through electrical pulses

12 organ systems
integumentary (skin), skeletal (blood cells formed in bones/stores minerals), muscular (produces heat), nervous (activates appropriate muscles/glands), endocrine (secretes hormones-growth, reproduction, nutrient use, metabolism), cardiovascular (pumps/carries oxygen, co2, and nutrients), reproductive
12 organ systems
lymphatic (picks up fluid leaked from b.v. & returns it to the blood), immune (house wbc involved in immunity, attacks system against foreign substances), respiratory (keeps blood supplied with oxygen &removes co2), digestive (indigestible food are eliminated as feces), urinary (eliminates nitrogenous wastes, regulates water, electrolytes, & acid-base balance of blood)
regional terms

axial and appendicular

1. saggital plane


2. parasaggital plane




3. median/midsaggital plane





1. divides body into L & R


2. to the side of the midline


3. exactly the midline

1. frontal plane/coronal




2. transverse plane









1. anterior/posterior


ventral/dorsal




2. superior/anterior






Prone




supine

laying on belly




laying on back



inner and outer tubes

inner- mouth->anus, includes respiratory/digestive organs




axial skeleton/muscles (head, neck, trunk: pelvis, abdomen, thorax), shows evidence of segmentation

Body cavities

dorsal, ventral- house/support organs, compartmentalize organs, diseases cannot spread
dorsal

subdivided into:


cranial cavity (encases brain)


vertebral canal (runs through the vertebral column to enclose the spinal cord)

ventral organs
lungs, heart, intestines, kidneys (visceral organs)
visceral organs (viscera)
internal organs of the chest and abdomen
ventral divisions

thoracic cavity - superior (toward the head), surrounded by the ribs&muscles of the chest wall


------diaphragm separates-----


abdominopelvic cavity- inferior, surrounded by abdominal wall and pelvic girdle

thoracic cavity

3 parts


pleural cavity- around the lung


mediastinum- central band of organs, contains the heart and is surrounded by...


pericardial cavity- houses other major thoracic organs such as the esophagus/trachea around the heart

abdominopelvic cavity

2 parts


abdominal cavity- superior (toward head) contains liver, stomach, kidneys and other organs


pelvic cavity- inferior (away from the head) contrains bladder, some reproductive organs, and the rectum

serous membranes

pleura (lung), pericardium (heart), peritoneum (abdominal viscera)




line the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, double layer, secretes serous fluid, cover visceral organs, reduces friction



parietal serosa
lines cavity
visceral serosa
lines organ (lung, heart, abdominal viscera)
dif types of serous cavities/membranes

parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium, parietal pleura, visceral pleura, parietal peritoneum, visceral peritoneum




parietal serosa is continuous with the visceral serosa

body membranes
cover, separate, support visceral organs/line body cavities

cutaneous membrane




synovial membrane




mucous membrane

skin-dry membrane but secretes oil




lining of movable joints




secrete mucus (lube/protection) *respiratory/digestive systems

abduction




adduction

flexion




extension

rotation
body part that moves around the axis (transverse plane)

pronation




supination

inversion




eversion

plantar flexion




dorsiflexion

circumduction
opposition

elevation




depression

dilate


constrict

bone features

cavities- soft tissues- arteries, veins, nerves


articulations- areas with cartilage


projections- attachment points for tendons and ligaments



skeleton


bones, cartilage, joints (articulations, ligaments)



appendicular skeleton

bones of the upper/lower limbs

joint

two bones connect
origin

attaches to stationary bone usually proximal (nearer to the center of the body)

insertion


attaches to moveable bone usually distal (farther from the center of the body)



actions

the action of a muscle can be inferred by the position of the muscle relative to the joint it crosses
compact bone

riddles with passageways for blood vessel/nerves
osteon/haversian system

long, cylindral structures oriented parallel to the long axis of the bone and to the main compression stresses
lamella

a layer of bone matric in which collagen fibers/mineral crystals align and run in a single direction




vertebrates share these

1. tube with in a tube body plan 2. bilateral symmetry 3. dorsal hollow nerve cord 4. notochord & vertebrae 5. segmentation 6. pharyngeal pouches
medial/lateral rotation
