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
