4 Anatomy: Levels of Study
Gross, Developmental, Microscopic and Surface Anatomy
A Belgian physician, the father of anatomy
Andreas Versalius (1514-1564)
A person stands erect with feet together and eyes forward
Anatomical Position
3 Body Planes
Sagittal, Tranverse and Colonal Plane
Who houses the brain and spinal cord?
Brain is Cranial Cavity and for the spinal cord is Spinal Cavity
Toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of
Medial
Toward the head end or upper part of structure or the body; above
Superior (Cranial or cephalad)

The Division of Spinal Cord
Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar And Sacrum
Nine abdominopelvic regions
-Right hypochondriac region
-Epigastric region
-Left hypochondriac region
-Right lumbar region
-Umbilical region
-Left lumbar region
-Right iliac region
-Hypogastric region
-Left iliac region
lines internal body walls
Parietal serosa
Divides the body into left and right sides
Sagittal Plane
close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment to a limb to the body trunk
Proximal
- The sternum is (intermediate or medial) to the shoulders.
- The heart is (deep or superficial) to the ribs.
- The elbow is (proximal or distal) to the wrist.
- The knees are (inferior or superior) to the pelvis.
- The
- Medial
- Deep
- Proximal
- Inferior
Away from the body surface; more internal
Deep
concerns developmental changes that occur before birth
Embryology
The study of cell
Cytology
study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface
Surface Anatomy
What is Anatomy and Physiology?
Anatomy is the study of structures of body and their relationships while Physiology is the study of how the body and it’s parts work or function.
Larger stuctures or can be seen with a naked eye
Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy
Macro means?
Large
The study of tissues
Histology
Separates the serosae
Serous fluid
