Definitions
• Anatomy- From Greek “to cut open”
– Study of the structure of the body, either
regionally or systematically
• Physiology – branch of biological science
dealing with the function of organs and organ
systems
History of Anatomy
• Probably began with
early examinations of
sacrifice victims.
• First documented by
Egyptians ~1600 BC
• Egyptian anatomical
papyrus showed organs
(including blood vessels)
Hippocrates (~370 BC)
• Greek physician who
studied anatomy
• “Father of Anatomy”
• Hippocratic oath taken
by doctors at graduation
Galen
• 2nd Century AD
• Compiled anatomical
studies of earlier writers
• Also performed
vivisection on animals
Medicine during Medieval Times (5th 15th )
• When Rome fell, little
was done to advance the
studies.
• Cadavers were no longer
used
• Avicenna
()ابن سینا یا پورسینا
16th Century Contributions
• Began to compile
extensive drawings of
dissections of executed
cadavers
17th and 18th centuries
• Few dissections were allowed
• Only certain scientists were
allowed to perform them
• Doctors literally traveled from
dissection to dissection
19th Century
• Began studying
developmental anatomy
• England became the center
of anatomical research
• Anatomy Act of 1832
provided adequate supply
of corpses
• Gray’s Anatomy first
published 1858 (for
traveling doctors)
Modern Anatomy
• CAT scans, X-rays,
Genetic tests, MRI
Anatomy definition
• A branch of morphology which deals with the
structure of organisms.
• Study of the structures of the body and their
relationship to one another.
• This is generally divided into:
– Gross anatomy (that which can be seen with the naked eye)
– Histology (miscroscopic anatomy & internal structure of cells)
– Embryology (the developing organism within the uterus)
Gross Anatomy
• Systemic – gross anatomy of the body studied
by organ system
• Regional – all structures in one part of the body
(such as the abdomen or leg)
• Surface – study of internal structures as they
relate to the overlying skin
Organ systems - 1
•
•
•
•
Integument (skin)
Skeleton
Muscles
Nervous system
– Central (brain and spinal cord)
– Peripheral (the peripheral nerves)
• Endocrine (glands)
Organ systems - 2
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cardiovascular (heart, arteries and veins)
Lymphatic (lymph vessels and nodes)
Respiratory
Digestive
Urinary
Reproductive (male/female)
Anatomical terminology
• This generally relates to:
– Names of the organ systems or regions
– Names of body organs or their parts
– Anatomical planes
– Anatomical locations
Anatomical planes
Anatomical Planes
• Saggital – divides the body into right and left
parts
• Coronal or frontal– divides the body into
anterior and posterior parts
• Horizontal or transverse (cross section) –
divides the body into superior and inferior parts
Anatomical planes - 1
• Median or midsaggital plane
• Passing from front to
back in the long axis
of the body IN the
midline.
Anatomical planes - 2
• Saggital:
Saggital – divides the
body into right and
left parts

Anatomical planes - 3
• Coronal or frontal:

Anatomical planes - 4
• Horizontal or

section) :
divides the body into
superior and inferior
parts

Flexion/Extension
Other anatomical terms
•
•
•
•
Volar(relating to the palm of hand)
Plantar (the sole of the foot)
Superficial (towards the surface)
Deep (towards the centre)
Movements
Flexion
• Bending a joint or decreasing the
angle between two bones
Extension
• Straightening a joint or increasing
the angle between two bones
Hyperextension
• Excessive extension of the parts
at a joint beyond anatomical
position.
Movements
Movements
Adduction
• Moving a body part towards
the midline of the body
Abduction
• Moving a body part away
from the midline of the
body
Movements
Prone
• Lying face down
Pronation
Supine
• Lying face up
Supination
Movements
Retraction
• Moving a part backward
Protraction
• Moving a part forward
Movements
Rotation
• Turning on a single axis
Circumduction
• Tri-planar, circular motion
at the hip or shoulder
Internal rotation
• Rotation of the hip or
shoulder toward the
midline
External rotation
• Rotation of the hip or
shoulder away from the
midline
Movements
Lateral Flexion
• Side-bending left or
right

Visualising the living subject
• There are a number of ways of visualising the
anatomy of a living subject:
–
–
–
–
Surface anatomy
Medical imaging
Using scopes
Surgery
Radiological terminology -1
• Imaging techniques:
– X-ray
– computed axial tomography (CAT) CT scan
– Ultrasound scans (Sonography)
– Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Radiological terminology - 2
• X-rays depend on the difference in absorption of xrays by various tissues.
– Radiopaque means a lot of x-ray energy is absorbed
(causing the fils to be WHITE)
Like: bone, teeth, metal implants
– Radiolucent means little energy is absorbed (causing the
film to be BLACK)
Like: air, fat
Radiological terminology - 3
• Plain film
– X-ray without the use of artificial contrast.
• Contrast film
– X-ray where radiopaque contrast has been
introduced into a cavity, space or vessel.
• Examples:
–
–
–
–
Angiogram (x-ray of arteries, e.g. of the heart)
Venogram (x-ray of veins, e.g. of the legs)
Barium meal (x-ray of the upper digestive tract)
Myelogram (x-ray of the spinal cord and spinal nerves)
