  1. MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY ANATOMY Al Ma`arefa College

  2. Objectives: • Define anatomy and its divisions. • Define the anatomical position of the body. • Explain the significance of anatomical position of the body in the science of medicine. • Define anatomical planes of the body. • Explain why directional terms are relative and must be used in reference to body structures or a body in anatomical position. • Explain how anatomical terms are derived.

  3. Levels of Structural Complexity

  4. HUMAN ANATOMY Anatomy is the study of the structure of human body parts and describe their relationships to one another. Divisions: • Gross anatomy or Macroscopic (organs and systems) • Embryology or Developmental Anatomy • Histology or Microscopic (tissues and cells) • Living anatomy (radiological anatomy, surface anatomy, applied and clinical surgical anatomy) • Comparative Anatomy :compares structure of human beings with other creatures especially vertebrates.

  5. HUMAN ANATOMY Divisions: Regional Anatomy: • Upper Limb • Lower Limb • Thorax • Abdomen and Pelvis • Head and Neck.

  6. HUMAN ANATOMY Divisions: Systemic Anatomy: • Integumentary • Skeletal • Articular • Muscular • Nervous • Circulatory • Cardiovascular • Lymphoid

  7. HUMAN ANATOMY Divisions: Systemic Anatomy: • Digestive • Respiratory • Urinary • Reproductive • Endocrine

  8. ANATOMIC TERMINOLOGY • ANATOMICAL POSITION • ANATOMICAL PLANES • ANATOMICAL ADJECTIVES • ANATOMICAL MOVEMENTS

  9. ANATOMIC POSITION All structures are described and named with reference to the anatomical position. In the anatomical position, the body is • Standing erect • The eyes look straight to the front • Face and palms of the hands directed forwards • The upper limbs hang by the sides of trunk • The lower limbs are parallel with the feettogether and the toes pointing forwards

  10. ANATOMIC PLANES • Median Sagittal ( Midsagittal ) Plane:A vertical plane passing between the anterior midline and posterior midline, dividing the body into right & left halves. • Parasagittal ( Paramedian ) Plane:Any plane parallel to median sagittal plane

  11. ANATOMIC PLANES coronal vertical, perpendicular to median Horizontal (transverse) parallel to floor, perpendicular to median, coronal

  12. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVESAre arranged as pairs of opposites Anterior (Ventral ) & Posterior (Dorsal ) • Anterior: Towards the front of the body • Posterior: Towards the back of the body

  13. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVESAre arranged as pairs of opposites Superior( Cranial ) & Inferior (Caudal ) Superior: Towards the head Inferior: Towards the feet

  14. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Proximal & Distal • Proximal: Nearer the trunk • Distal: Away from the trunk

  15. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Medial & Lateral • Medial: Towards the midline of the body • Lateral: Away from the midline of the body

  16. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Superficial & Deep • Superficial: Nearer the surface of the body • Profundus (Deep): Away from the surface of the body

  17. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Central & Peripheral • Central: Towards the central axis of the body • Peripheral: Away from the central axis of the body

  18. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Ipsilateral & Contralateral • Ipsilateral: Of the same side • Contralateral: Of the Opposite side

  19. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Flexor Surface & Extensor Surface • Flexor Surface: The anterior surface in the upper limb and the posterior surface in the lower limb • Extensor surface: The posterior surface in the upper limb and the anterior surface in the lower limb

  20. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Palmar & Dorsal Surfaces of Hand • Palmar Surface: Anterior surface • Dorsal Surface: Posterior surface

  21. ANATOMIC ADJECTIVES CONT. Planter & Dorsal Surfaces of Foot • Planter Surface: Lower surface • Dorsal Surface: Upper surface

  22. Term used for describing bony feature • Elevation • Linear elevation • Sharp elevation • Rounded or irregular elevation • Depressions • Pit, impression, fovea, fossa, groove, notch • Openings • Smooth articular surface • Facet, condyle, head, capitulum or trochlea
