What is anatomy?
subdivision of bio concerned with structure or morphology of body
Ana Tomy (greek)
ana= apart
tomy= cut
Dissect (latin)
Dis= apart
sectare = cut
Cytology
study of cells
histology
study of tissues
Gross Anatomy
study of structures visible to naked eye
Surface Anatomy
study of surface structures
Embryology
aka Dvlpmtal anatomy
development of body before birth
Comparitive Anatomy
comparing human structures to other animals
radiology
utilization of radiation to visualize internal body structures
anatomical pathology
study of tissue that departs from normal and is diseased
Organization of Body?
cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems -> body
Microanatomy includes what?
cells and tissues
Gross anatomy includes what?
organs, organ systems, and body
Systemic
collection of organs that perform related functions
12 Systems?
1. Circulatory
2. Nervous
3. Reproductive
4. Endocrine
5. Skeletal
6. Muscular
7. Lymphatic
8. Respiratory
9. Digestive
10. Urinary
11. Integumentary
12. Articular
Circulatory Structure & Function
S= heart & blood vessels
F= transport nutrients and O2 to cells, remove waste molecules that are excreted
Lymphatic Structure & Function
S= Lymphatic vessels, nodes, supporting lymphocytes, lymphoid organs
F= protects body from disease by purifying fluid, involves white blood cells that produce antibodies
Respiratory Structure & Function
S= trachea, bronchi, lungs, other resp. passageways
F= brings O2 into lungs, takes CO2 out
Digestive Structure & Function
S= mouth, esophagus, stomach, small & large intestine, teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladders, pancreas- MESS SILITT SLGP
F= recieves food and digests it into nutrient molecules -> enter cells
Urinary Structure & Function
S=kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra KUDU
F= rids body of nitrogenous wastes & helps regulate fluid level and chemical content of blood
Integumentary Structure & Function
S= skin, hair, nails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands
F= provides support and protects underlying tissues, helps regulate body temperature, contains receptors
Skeletal Structure & Function
S= bones
F= attachment for muscles, gives form and structure
Muscular Structure & Function
S= muscles and tendons
F= movement
Articular Structure & Function
S= joints
F= movement
Nervous Structure & Function
S= brain, spinal cord, nerves
F= conduct nerve impulses to muscles and glands, receive impulses
Endocrine Structure & Function
S= hormones
F= secrete chemicals that serve as messengers btw body parts, maintain proper functioning of reproductive organs
Reproductive Structure & Function
S= testes, other glands, penis, ovaries, oviducts, uterus, vagina, external genitalia
F= allows reproduction
8 Regional Subdivision of Body
1. Head
2. Neck
3. thorax
4. abdomen
5. pelvis
6. back
7. upper limb: pectoral, arm, forearm, hand
8. lower limb: gluteal, thigh, leg, foot
5 Criteria of Anatomical position
1. body longitudinal
2. upper limbs by side
3. eyes directed forward
4. palms directed forward
5. toes directed forward
Median/Midsaggital Plane
vertical plane passing through body dividing into equal left and right parts (1)
Sagittal Plane
any vertical plane dividing unequal left and right parts (infinite)
Frontal/Coronal Plane
any vertical plane at right angle to median plane dividing body into front and back parts (infinite)
Horizontal Plane
any plane at right angle to median and frontal planes that divide body into upper and lower parts (infinite)
Medial
closer to median plane
Lateral
Further from median plane
Anterior/Ventral
closer to front
Posterior/Dorsal
closer to back
Superior/Cephalic
nearer the upper/head region
Inferior/Caudal
closer to the lower/tail region
Proximal
closer to the attached end of the limb
Distal
further from the attached end of the limb
Internal
closer to the center of an organ/cavity
External
farther from the center of an organ/cavity
Superficial
closer to the surface of body
Deep
further from the surface of body
physiology
subdivision of bio concerned with functioning of body- explains physical and chemical processes that occur
