5. Ch 1: Introduction to Anatomy
Chapter Objectives
Define study of Anatomy
Identify the levels of organization
Understand anatomical and directional terminology to be used during course
Review body cavities and lining membranes
Immerse yourself into the language of Anatomy

6. Anatomy (= to cut open) Gross Anatomy Microscopic Anatomy
Developmental Anatomy (study of first 2 months of development: _?_)
Comparative Anatomy

7. Gross Anatomy Surface Anatomy (Ch 12)
Regional Anatomy (superficial and internal features in specific area of body, e.g. head and neck....)
Systemic Anatomy (11 organ systems)

8. 11 Organ systems different organs work together to provide specialized functions
Body Coverings
Support & Movement
Integration & coordination
Transport
Absorption / Excretion
Reproduction

9. Cytology (mostly EM pictures) Histology
Microscopic Anatomy
Cytology (mostly EM pictures)
Histology

10. Anatomy at Different Scales (Metric Scale)

11. Levels of Organization:
See figs. 1.3 & 1.4
COHN – 99.5%
99.9% =

12. Anatomy & the Importance of a Precise Vocabulary
Language of Anatomy based mostly on ?
Also Eponyms (= ?)

13. Superficial Anatomy
Generally consider body in Anatomical Position while studied
Two other positions: supine and prone
Anatomical Directions
Anterior vs. ?; medial vs. ?; superior vs. ? Etc
Proximal vs. distal

14. Anatomical Regions:
Take words apart!

15. In the clinic: Abdomino-pelvic Regions

16. Sectional Anatomy 3 sectional planes: transverse ( or cross) section
frontal (or coronal) section
sagittal section (mid- and para-)

17. Fig 1.14
Body Cavities
Dorsal
Ventral

18. Clinical Discussion: Sectional Anatomy and Clinical Technology
Avoid “cutting open”
Computers integrate raw data transmitted by electrical signals
Radiological procedures:
X-rays CT
MRI

19. Traditional: X-rays X-ray of skull Radiodensity of different tissues
Since 1895
X-ray of skull
Radiodensity of
different tissues
Varies: Denser tissues absorb more radiation
Disadvantage?
Best for bones and some tumors and tuberculosis nodules in lungs

20. X-rays and Contrast Medium
Use of
heavy elements such as _______,
iodinated molecules etc.etc.
Barium sulphate (BaSO4) insoluble

21. Clinical Discussion: The visible Human
Produce series of sections in one sectional plane at small intervals
Combine to reconstruct the 3-D object (serial reconstruction)
Allows for very exact analysis of complex structures
Male sectioned at 1 mm intervals,
female at 0.33 mm intervals.
