10
The Human Body’s Jobs Reproduction Defense barrier –Skin & microbes –Bone, muscle and soft organs Input/output –Oxygen & fuel consumption, hydration –Waste elimination
11
The Human Body’s Jobs Movement & biomechanics –Muscles, connective tissues, skeleton, skin Art form?
12
Anatomic Position: Standard Reference Enables same perspective to view body in 3 dimensions
14
Anatomy Standards Planes of reference Positional relationships Movement definitions –Joint movements, limb movements, whole body movements
15
Sagittal planes
17
Coronal plane relationships

23
Dorsiflexion Plantarflexion Inversion (supination) Eversion (pronation)
25
Abduction AdductionExtension Flexion
27
Body Regions To Study Head & neck Torso Upper limb Pelvis Lower limb
37
Structural Concepts Biologic design consists of balance between tension and compression structural elements in viruses, cells, organs and whole animals. –Tensegrity = tension integrity –Buckminster Fuller & geodesic domes.
38
Musculoskeletal System Tensile elements = muscles, ligaments, tendons, joint capsules, menisci, and fascia. Compression elements = bones.
39
Tensegrity Allows Torque Reduction
