  1. Introduction to Anatomy Forensic Anatomy

  2. Organization of the Body

  3. Levels of Organization atoms→molecules→macromolecules/organelles→cells→tissues→organs→systems→organism

  4. Tissues • A group of cells that perform a limited number of specialized function • Epithelial tissues • Connective tissues • Muscle • Nervous

  5. Anatomical Position & Terms

  6. Anatomical Position &Bilateral Symmetry Anatomical Position – erect; palms, head and feet forward Bilateralsymmetry – right and left sides are mirror images

  7. Body Cavities A. Dorsal (back) 1. Cranial 2. Spinal B. Ventral (front) 1. Thoracic a. Mediastinum b. Pleural 2. Abdominopelvic a. Abdominal b. Pelvic

  8. Body Regions Axial– head, neck, torso/trunk Appendicular- extremities Abdominal Axillary Brachial Antebrachial Carpal Digital Cephalic Cervical Inguinal Pelvic Mammary Thoracic Gluteal Lumbar Temporal

  9. Abdominopelvic Regions 4 Quadrants Doctors divide torso into quadrants to describe the site of pain and/or locate internal pathology (tumor) 1. right upper quadrant (RUQ) 2. left upper quadrant (LUQ) 3. right lower quadrant (RLQ) 4. left lower quadrant (LLQ)

  10. Directional Terms Superior – toward thehead Inferior – toward the foot Anterior/ventral – front Posterior /dorsal– back Medial– toward the center (midline) Lateral– toward the side/away from midline Proximal– toward or nearest the trunk or point of origin Distal – away from or farthest from trunk or point of origin Superficial – on the surface Deep – inside, away from surface

  11. Body Planes Sagittal – lengthwise, front to back, divides body into left and right sides, midsagittal (sagittal section in middle) Frontal– lengthwise, side to side, divides body into anterior and posterior portions; frontal plane Transverse – crosswise, divides body or parts into upper and lower parts; horizontal plane
