  1. Human AnatomyIntroduction

  2. What is Anatomy? • Study of the STRUCTURE of the Human Body • Closely related to PHYSIOLOGY! • Physiology is the study of the FUNCTION of the human body

  3. Gross Anatomy Structures that can be seen with the eye Muscles, bones, various organs Microscopic Anatomy Structures that cannot be seen with the eye Need to use a microscope Cytology = study of cells Histology = study of tissues Divisions of Anatomy

  4. What are you made of ?

  5. Ways to Study Anatomy • Regional Anatomy – study one region of the body at a time and learn everything about the region • Systemic Anatomy – study one body system at a time. This is the approach we will use in this course

  6. Anatomical Organization • Cells • Tissues • Organs • Organ Systems • Organism

  7. Organ Systems • 1. Integument • 2. Skeletal • 3. Muscular • 4. Nervous • 5. Endocrine • 6. Cardiovascular • 7. Lymphatic • 8. Respiratory • 9. Digestive • 10. Urinary • 11. Reproductive

  8. Four-footed body directions

  9. Planes and Sections • Sagittal section – divides the body into right and left sides • Mid-sagittal section = straight down the center of the body • Frontal section – divides the body into front and back sides • Transverse (cross) section – cut straight across the body

  10. Planes and Sections

  11. Body Cavities

  12. Body Cavities

  13. Body Quadrants • Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ) • Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ) • Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ) • Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)
