Introduction to Anatomy: Describe to a partner or your PAL facilitator what the word anatomy means to you. Look at the Bio 22 exam schedule. Then, choose 3-4 study strategies from below while setting *realistic* goals for when each will be complete before the ﬁrst exam. Creating hand-written or hand-drawn ﬂashcards. Rephrasing lecture notes in my own words. Follow-up lectures notes by reading the textbook. Completing the assigned coloring book pages. Reviewing written notes. Reviewing review questions for speciﬁc lectures. Reviewing quizzes. Visiting oﬀice hours. Attending a study group. Teaching someone a topic from each lecture. Remember: • Deﬁne the terms "prone" and "supine.” Use each in an example sentence of when these terms might be used. • List three examples of directional terms used in anatomy. Understand: • Explain the diﬀerence between the terms "superior" and "inferior" with examples. • Describe why it is important for medical professionals to use precise regional terms in anatomy. Apply: • • With your partner or PAL facilitator, identify whether a speciﬁed body part is proximal or distal. For example, point to your kneecap and your shin. Imagine a surgical procedure and explain how directional terms might be crucial for communication between medical professionals. Analyze: • Compare and contrast the terms "lateral" and "medial" in the context of body anatomy. • Analyze the importance of body planes in interpreting medical imaging scans. Create: • Develop a short scenario where understanding directional terms is vital for a medical diagnosis. • Create a diagram illustrating the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes of the body. Evaluate: • Assess the signiﬁcance of using regional terms to avoid confusion in medical documentation. • Evaluate the impact of accurate anatomical language in the communication between healthcare professionals. Case Study Question: A motorcycle accident patient presents with a complex injury involving both the lacerations and debris imbedded in the upper arm and a broken bone in the forearm. Discuss how accurate usage of directional terms (e.g., proximal, distal, deep, superﬁcial) and regional terms (e.g., brachium, antebrachium) would be crucial for understanding and communicating about the speciﬁc location and nature of the injury. How might mastering these anatomical terms aid in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient?
