IN THE NAME OF ALLAH Human body
2
Introduction to the Human Body
3
Anatomy –The study of the structure of the human body
4
Branches of anatomy –Microscopic anatomy (histology) –Surface anatomy –Developmental anatomy(Embryology ) –Gross anatomy –Radiographic anatomy
5
Gross Anatomy –Regional Anatomy –The study of specific areas of the body (Limb. Head and Neck, Trunk) –Systemic Anatomy Study of the specific organ systems
6
Systems Integumentary Nervous Skeletal Endocrine Muscular Cardiovascular Urinary Respiratory Reproductive Digestive
7
Microscopic Anatomy Involves studying anatomical structures that cannot be seen with the unaided eye 1. Cytology - cells 2. Histology - tissue
9
Organ Systems of the Body (1)

12
Anatomical position –Person stands erect with feet together and eyes forward –Palms face anteriorly with the thumbs pointed away from the body
13
Anatomical Position Hands at sides, palms forward
15
Body Planes Sagittal –Divides the body into right and left parts –midsagittal or medial – sagittal plane that lies on the midline Frontal or coronal –Divides the body into anterior and posterior parts Transverse or horizontal (cross section) – Divides the body into superior and inferior parts

Banana Sectioned into Planes
22
Directional Terms Superior and inferior – toward and away from the head, respectively Anterior and posterior – toward the front and back of the body Medial, lateral, and intermediate – toward the midline, away from the midline, and between a more medial and lateral structure
23
Proximal and distal – closer to and farther from the origin of the body part Superficial and deep – toward and away from the body surface
24
Alternate Terms Ventral (= Anterior) Dorsal (= Posterior) Cranial – head Caudal – tail
27
Orientation and Directional Terms Table 1.1 (1 of 3)

Body Cavities Dorsal cavity Ventral cavity
32
Figure 1.8c
33
Body Cavities Dorsal cavity protects the nervous system, and is divided into two subdivisions –Cranial cavity – within the skull; encases the brain –Vertebral cavity – runs within the vertebral column; encases the spinal cord
34
Body Cavities and Membranes Ventral body cavity –Thoracic cavity – divided into three parts Two lateral parts each containing a lung surrounded by a pleural cavity Mediastinum – contains the heart surrounded by the pericardial sac
35
Body Cavities and Membranes –Abdominopelvic cavity – divided into two parts Abdominal cavity – contains the liver, stomach, kidneys, and other organs Pelvic cavity – contains the bladder, some reproductive organs, and rectum
