1. Anatomy Study of the humen body & divided into
Macroanatomy or gross anatomy
Microanatomy & divided into:
Histology
Emberiology

2. The humen body is divided into : Head ,Neck , Trunk , & Limb The trunk is sub divided into chest or thorax &Belly or abdomen . The abdomen is subdivided into : Abdomen proper Pelvis .

3. Anatomical position: Sections used during dissection:
Median or sagittal plane:
Coronal or frontal plane:
Transverse or Horizontal plain or cross section:

5. Terms of position : Anterior or venteral Posterior or dorsal
Superior or cranial
Inferior or caudal
Medial
Lateral
Internal & External
Superficial & Deep
Proximal & Distal

6. In describing the Hand : Palmar in place of anterior Dorsal in place of posterion . In describing the foot : Planter in place of lower Dorsal in place of upper surface

7. Ipsilateral : means the same side
Ipsilateral : means the same side . Note: any section parallel to sagittal plane called parasagittal plane .

8. Basic structure Skin : Divided into two distinct parts : A) The epidermis B) The dermis The epidermis is a stratified epithelium . On the palm of the hand & the sole of the feet , the epidermis is thick , while in the other areas of the body it is thin .

9. The dermis: Is compose of dense connective tissue containing many blood vessels lymohatic vessels & nerves . The dermis is connected to the underlying deep fascia or bones by the superficial fascia which also called subcutaneous tissue .

11. In the dermis the bundles of collagen fibers are mostly arranged in parallel rows . They run in the limbs longitudinally and circumferentially in the neck & trunk The appendages of the skin are the nails , hair follicles , sebaceous glnds & sweat glands .

12. Fascia: Divided into two types : 1- Superficial fascia 2- Deep fascia Superficial fascia or subcutaneous tissue : Is mixture of loose areolar & adipose tissue. Deep fascia : Is a membranous layer of connective tissue that invests the muscles & other deep structures .

13. Muscle There are three types of muscles : 1- Skeletal muscle ( voluntary & striated muscle) 2- Smooth muscle (involuntary muscle) 3- Cardiac muscle (striated involuntary muscle.
