  1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY

  2. TheAnatomicalPosition • Standingupright • Facedirectedforward • Feettogether • Toespointedforward • Armshangingdown at thesides • Palms of handfacingforward

  3. PLANES • Imaginarystructure • Transectthehuman body • Describethelocation of thestructures & direction of themovements

  4. CoronalPlanes • Alsoknown as frontalplane • Orientedvertically • Devidethe body intoanteriorandposteriorparts

  5. SagittalPlanes • Orientedvertically • Runsthrough body fromanteriortoposterior • Devidethe body intorightandleftparts • Midsagittalplane (Medianplane): Sagittalplanepassingthroughthecentre of the body dividing it intoequalrightandlefthalves

  6. TransversePlanes • Alsoknown as horizontalplaneoraxialplane • Perpendiculartothecoronalandsagittalplanes • Devidesthe body intosuperiorandinferiorparts

  7. ANATOMICAL TERMİNOLOGY • Termswhichdescriberelationandcomparison • Termswhichdescribemovement

  8. Terms of Relation & Comparison • Anterior (ventral); Describetheposition of thestructuresrelativetothefront of the body • Posterior(dorsal); Describetheposition of thestructuresrelatedtotheback of the body • Medial; Describetheposition of thestructuresrelativetothemediansagittalplane • Lateral;Describethestructuresrelativetothesides of the body • Median; Describestructures on themedianplane

  9. Terms of Relation & Comparison • Superior (Proximal); Describestructures in referencetotheverticalaxis of the body • Inferior (Distal); Describestructures in referencetotheverticalaxis of the body • Cranial; Describestructuresrelativetohead • Caudal; Describestructuresrelativetotail

  10. Terms of Relation& Comparison • Superficial;Describestructuresrelativetosurface of the body • Intermediate • Profundus (Deep); Describestructures far awayfromthesurface of the body • Dorsum • Palmar • Plantar

  11. Terms of Movement • Flexion; physicalpositionortype of movementdecreasingtheanglebetweenbones of thelimb at a joint • Extension; Movementincreasingtheanglebetweenbones of he limb at a joint

  12. Terms of Movement • Abduction;movingawayfomthesagittalplane • Adduction: Movingtowardthesagittalplane • Elevation;raising a structure • Depression;Lowering a structure

  13. Terms of Movement • Pronation ( Medialrotation); • Placingpalmbackward in anatomicalposition • Supination(Lateralrotation); • Placingpalmforward in anatomicalposition • Eversion;Inwardroll of thefoot • Inversion; Outwardroll of thefoot (inversion) • Circumdiction
