2
Systemic anatomy
Organized by organ systems
Skeletal (osteology)
Articular (arthrology)

Nervous (neurology)
3
Anatomical position
Head and toes face forward
Upper limbs at sides palms face anteriorly
Lower limbs close and parallel toes face anterior
4
Anatomical planes
Median - right and left halves
Sagittal - parallel to median
Frontal (coronal) - anterior posterior
Transverse - upper (superior) and lower (inferior)
5
Terms of laterality
Bilateral - paired structures having right and left sides
Unilateral - occurring on only one side
Ipsilateral - occurring on the same side of the body
Contralateral - occurring on the opposite side of the body
6
Skeletal system two main parts
Axial
- the head neck and trunk (ribs sternum vertebrae and sacrum)
Appendicular
- limbs and shoulder/pelvic girdles
