● Anatomy ○ Science of structure of human body ○ Relationship within human organs and parts ○ Why is it important? ■ Primary of clinical practices ■ Understanding of pathology ■ Imaging of patients ■ Surgical intervention ● Gross anatomy ○ Structure visible on bare eye ○ Regional (body area) ■ ex) upper chest area (Thoracic) ● examination of skin, pectoral muscles, rib, intercostal space ● lungs, pleura, heart ● nerves, blood vessels ■ ex) Lower limb ● Femur, tibia, fibula ● Hip, knee, ankle ● Quadricepts ● Hamstring , calf ○ Systemic (body systems) ■ ex) Cardio vascular systems ● Study on heart , arteries and veins ● Capillaries positioning within body ● No other system other than systemic is altered ■ ex) Digestive systems ● Microscopic anatomy ○ Histologically + Cytologically ○ Histology ■ Study in tissue ■ ex) histological slides on Epithelia cells ○ Cytology ■ Study in cells ○ Developmental Anatomy ■ Embryology ■ Fertilization => birth => growth ■ Congenital anomalies ○ Clinical Anatomy ■ Imaging surgery ● Standard anatomical position = crucial for consistency ○ Stand upright ○ Feet parallel + not spread out together ○ Upper limbs on side ○ Palms facing forwards ○ Head + eye in anterior fashion ● Planes on Body structures ○ Sagittal ■ Divided by right - left ○ Midsagittal ■ Equal halves ○ Frontal ■ Divided into anterior-posterior ○ Transverse (axial) ■ Divided by superior-inferior ○ Obliques = angled cut ex) usually used for CT and MRI imaging ● Oblique axial CT on heart ● Oblique coronal MRI of the hips ● Oblique fracture on tibia (in the most bottom) ○ Breaks running diagonally on shaft ○ Not as straight transverse
