2.  What is Anatomy?  Anatomy is the study of structure of body and the physical relationships involved between body systems  Branches  Gross Anatomy  Microanatomy  Embryology  Radiologic Anatomy  Surface Anatomy  Osteology  Neuroanatomy

3.  Study of anatomy at macroscopic level

4.  Study of Anatomy at microscopic level

5.  Study of development from fertilization to fetus stage

6.  Study of Anatomy using radiographs, MRI, CT scans, ultrasound etc.

7.  Study of anatomical structures without dissection

8.  Study of Bones

9.  Study of nervous system

10.  Is the standard reference point in which all positions, movements, and planes are described  Standing erect  Body is upright  Head facing forwards  Arms at the sides  Palms facing forwards  Feet together

11.  Median / Sagittal  Right & Left  Coronal  Anterior & Posterior  Transverse  Upper & Lower

12.  Medial / Lateral  Anterior (Ventral)/ Posterior (Dorsal)

13.  Superior  Refers to a structure being closer to the head or higher than another structure in the body  Inferior  Refers to a structure being closer to the feet or lower than another structure in the body

14.  Distal  Refers to a structure being further away from the root of the limb than another structure in the limb  Proximal  Refers to a structure being closer to the root of the limb than another structure in that limb

15.  Superficial  Refers to a structure being closer to the surface of the body than another structure  Deep  Refers to a structure being closer to the core of the body than another structure

16.  Supine  Lying face up  Prone  Lying face down  Unilateral  Pertaining to one side  Bilateral  Pertaining to both sides

17.  Flexion  Bending a joint or decreasing the angle between two bones  Extension  Straightening a joint or increasing the angle between two bones  Adduction  Moving a body part towards the midline of the body  Abduction  Moving a body part away from the midline of the body

18.  Pronation  Turning the arm downward  Supination  Turning the arm  Opposition  Movement of the thumb across the palm of the hand.

19.  Rotation  Turning on a single axis  Circumduction  Circular motion  Medial rotation  Rotation toward the midline  Lateral rotation  Rotation away from the midline  Lateral Flexion  Side-bending

20.  Retraction  Moving a part backward  Protraction  Moving a part forward  Elevation  Raising a part  Depression  Lowering a part

21.  Inversion  Turning the sole of foot inward  Eversion  Turning the sole of foot outward  Dorsiflexion  Ankle movement bringing the foot towards the shin  Plantarflexion  Ankle movement pointing the foot downward
