  • ANATOMY: Greck word -Anatome meaning to cut up, Study of structures thar make up the body and how those structures relate with each other.
  • GROSS ANATOMY: studies body structures w/o the microscope.
  • SYSTEMIC ANATOMY: studies functional relationships of organs within a system.
  • MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY   Requires the use of microscope
  • HISTOLOGY The study of tissues focusing on the microscopic detail
  • CYTOLOGY Branch of biology concerned with the structure and function of cells
  • DEVELOPMENTAL ANATOMY Examines the anatomical changes that occur over the life span of the organism. How an organism’s anatomy changes during the processes of development, growth, and aging
  • EMBRYOLOGY Study of the development of the body from fertilization (sperm meets egg) to birth.
  • PATHOLOGY Examination of anatomy for the purpose of obtaining a medical diagnosis.
  • FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY Analysis of the shape / form of anatomical features with respect to its functional properties.
  • SYSTEMIC ANATOMY Looks at the anatomical features / functions of the body focusing on all of the organs and examines how they function as a whole:
  • REGIONAL ANATOMY Looks at a particular part of the body
    • Specific region: Abdominal region.
  • SURFACE ANATOMY Looks at the surface anatomical features of the body.
    • Focuses on the shape / landmark that reveal the underlying anatomy.
  • RADIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY - Uses Imaging techniques (X-ray / Ultrasound / CT Scan / MIU/ PET Scan) to identify / study infernal structures of the body.
  • PHYSIOLOGY: Study of HUMAN bodily functions
    Ex. Circulation/ Respiration/ Metabolism etc.
  • Cranial refers to features closer to the head
  • The front is referred to as anterior or ventral.
  • The back is referred to as posterior or dorsal.
  • Proximal refers to a feature that is closer to the torso.
  • Distal refers to a feature that is closer to the fingers/toes.
  • Medial and lateral refer to position relative to the midline, which is a vertical line drawn
  • Medial indicates a feature is closer to this line.
  • Lateral indicates features further from this line.
  • Anterior (or ventral) means "front of or in the front. Your abdominal muscles are on the anterior side of the body.
  • Posterior (or dorsal) means the opposite of anterior:
    "back of or "behind/on the back."
  • Superior (or cranial) a position above or higher than another part of the body
  • Inferior (or caudal) a position below or lower than another part of the body
  • Lateral - The side of the body.
  • Medial - The middle of the body.
  • Proximal - A position in a limb that is nearer to the trunk of the body.
  • Distal- A position in a limb that is farther to the trunk of the body.
  • Superficial - A position closer to the surface of the body.
  • Deep - A position farther from the surface of the body
  • Body planes - are imaginary surfaces or lines that divide the body into sections. It helps identify specific areas of the body.
  • The sagittal plane divides the body vertically into right and left sides
  • A vertical plane that runs directly down the middle of the body is called the midsagittal or median plane.
  • A vertical plane that divides the body into UNEQUAL right and left sides is called a parasagittal plane or longitudinal section.
  • The frontal plane divides the body into a front & back portion. It is also called coronal plane.
  • The transverse plane divides the body horizontally into an upper & lower portion. It is also called horizontal plane.
