What is Anatomy? What are the approaches to studying anatomy? - correct answer ✔✔
Anatomy is the setting in which the events of life occur.
Approaches to studying anatomy:
• Systemic - the systems (organ systems) in our body and how they work together. Ex. Digestive
system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system. Liver (organ) part of the digestive system
(organ system)
• Regional - Regions: Thorax, Upper Limb, Abdomen/pelvis, lower limb, head and neck
• Clinical - Mostly pathological (when anatomy fails): trauma, injury, congenital (born with it)
• Comparative - Using a comparative model. Ex. Using animal model rabbit model and cadaver.
What is Anatomicomedical terminology? What are the 3 types? - correct answer ✔✔
Anatomical language adheres to an international standard, permitting accurate communication
among scientists and medical professionals.
1. Colloquial terms (e.g., collar bone versus clavicle)
2. Common clinical terms (e.g., eustachian tube versus pharyngotympanic tube)
,3. Eponyms: terms incorporating the names of people (e.g., Adam's apple versus laryngeal
prominence)
What is the Anatomical Position? What are the 2 important variations? - correct answer ✔✔
The standard reference (starting) point in which all positions, planes, and movements are
described.
• Erect posture
• Hands at the side
• Palms and feet facing forward
Always assume anatomical position.
Two important variants on anatomical position:
When a subject is lying down rather than standing up, the subject might be in:
1. Supine position: lying face up
2. Prone position: lying face down
Name all the Anatomical Directions and their descriptions. - correct answer ✔✔ Superior
(rostral): above; toward the head (rostral - toward the beak/nose)
Inferior (caudal): Below (caudal - toward the tail)
Anterior (ventral): in front (ventral - toward the belly)
Posterior (dorsal): behind (dorsal - toward the back)
Lateral: away from the midline
Medial: toward the midline
Superficial: on the surface (closer to the surface)
Intermediate: between a superficial and deep structure
Deep: further from the surface (surface - skin (integument))
, Proximal: close to the point of attachment (ex. Between limb and trunk)
Distal: farthest from the point of limb attachment
How does the anatomical terms of positional relationship change with movement? Ex. From
Supine to prone? Ex. From supine to standing? - correct answer ✔✔ ex. supine to prone
Vary With position:
- left vs. right
Dont vary with position:
- dorsal vs. ventral
- superficial vs. deep
- Superior vs. Inferior
- medial vs. lateral
ex. supine to standing
Vary with position:
- nothing changes
Dont vary with position:
ALWAYS THINK OF ANATOMICAL POSITION
What are the Anatomical descriptors specific to the hands and feet? - correct answer ✔✔
Hands: Palmar versus dorsal
Feet: Plantar versus dorsal
Name all the Anatomical Planes and their descriptions. - correct answer ✔✔ Sagittal - divides
into left and right
Mid-sagittal - right on the midline
