INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY
PERIS MACHARIA.
Slide 1.1
The Human Body – An Orientation
• Anatomy – study of the structure and
shape of the body and its parts
• Physiology – study of how the body
and its parts work or function
Subdivisions of anatomy
a) Gross anatomy= or macroscopic anatomy/
morphology/-topographic anatomy
b) Histology= or microscopic anatomy/
histomorphology
c) Embryology:- developmental anatomy
d) Radiological anatomy- this is the transition from
laboratory to the live anatomy in the ward set up.
NB> All this have Clinical correlates
.
• Gross Anatomy
• Large structures

(stimuli)

• Analyzes information
• Determines appropriate response
• Effector
• Provides a means for response to the
stimulus
.
Slide 1.20a
Feedback Mechanisms
• Negative feedback
• Includes most homeostatic control mechanisms
• Shuts off the original stimulus, or reduces its
intensity
• Works like a household thermostat
Feedback Mechanisms
• Positive Feedback
• Increases the original stimulus to push the variable
farther
• In the body this occurs only in blood clotting and child
birth
The Language of Anatomy
Slide 1.21
• Special terminology is used to prevent
misunderstanding
• Exact terms are used for:
• Position
• Direction
• Regions
• Structures
What is anatomical position?
• This is the position of standard reference when describing a
human body.
• It’s the standard used by clinicians when performing clinical
examination on patients.
The person stands upright with the:
• Head, gaze (eyes), and toes directed anteriorly
(forward).
• Arms adjacent to the sides with the palms facing anteriorly.
• Lower limbs close together with the feet parallel and the
toes directed anteriorly.
www.LabScience.org
Anatomical Planes
• Anatomical descriptions - four imaginary planes
• The median plane, is a longitudinal plane
• Divides the body into right and left equal halves.
• Sagittal planes are vertical planes parallel to the median
plane dividing the body into right and left but unequal
parts
• Frontal (coronal) planes are vertical planes at right
angles to the median plane, dividing the body into anterior
(front) and posterior (back) parts
• Transverse planes(axial planes) are transverse planes
through the body at right angles to the median and frontal
planes, dividing the body into superior (upper) and inferior
(lower) parts.

Orientation and Directional Terms
Slide 1.23
Table 1.1 (cont)
• Anterior and posterior:- Represents front and back of the body
respectively.
• Ipsilateral represent:- Represents the same side of the body e.g. the
left hand and foot are ipsilateral
• Contralateral: Refers to the opposite side of the body e.g. the left
hand and right foot are contralateral
•In describing the HAND and FOOT the following terms are
used
For the hand, the palmar and dorsal surfaces are used in place of
anterior and posterior.
For the foot, the plantar and dorsal surfaces are used instead of lower
and upper surfaces respectively.

TERMS RELATED TO MOVEMENT
What is a joint?:-A site where two or more bones come together and articulate.
1. Flexion: Movement in a sagittal plane e.g. flexion of the elbow joint
2. Extension: Straightening the joint and usually takes place in opposite direction to
flexion.
3. Lateral Flexion: Movement of the trunk in the coronal plane.
4. Abduction: Movement away from the midline
5. Rotation: It is a movement of a part of the body around its long axis.
6.Circumduction: Combined movements of Flexion, extension, abduction and
adduction.
7.Protraction: Specifically Jaw -move forward while retraction is to move backward.
8.Inversion: Movement of the foot so that the sole faces in the medial direction.
9.Eversion:- Is the opposite movement of the foot so that the sole faces in a lateral
direction.

MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
D
The skeletal, articular (joints) and the muscular systems collectively
constitute a super system, the locomotor apparatus because they
must work together to produce locomotion of the body. into three
areas of study including:
1. OSTEOLOGY:- study of bones
2. MYOLOGY:- study of muscles
3. ATHROLOGY:- study of joints
A) Osteology
The subdivisions of body skeleton:
The skeleton is divided into two parts:-
a) Axial skeleton:- Skull, verterbral column and thoracic cage.
b)Appendicular skeleton:- Bones of the limbs.
LECTURE ONE.pptx edited by pantic miazga oguda
LECTURE ONE.pptx edited by pantic miazga oguda
Cartilage and Bones
• The skeleton is composed of cartilages (avascular and
flexible) and bones.(Compact)
• All bones have a superficial thin layer of compact bone
around a central mass of spongy medullary bone, except
where the latter is replaced by a medullary (marrow)
cavity.
• The periosteum and perichondrium nourish the external
aspects of the skeletal tissue of a bone and cartilage
respectively.
BONE CLASSIFICATION
• Bones are classified according to their
shape(morphology) or method of development
• Long bones are tubular (e.g., the humerus in the arm).
• Short bones are cuboidal and are found only in the ankle
(tarsus) and wrist (carpus).
• Flat bones usually serve protective functions (e.g., those
forming the cranium protect the brain).
• Irregular bones (e.g., in the face) have various shapes
other than long, short, or flat.
• Sesamoid bones (e.g., the patella or knee cap) develop in
tendons and occur where tendons cross the ends of long
bones in the limbs; they protect the tendons from excessive
wear
Classification of bone according to their
developmental origin
(a)Intramembranous (Dermal) bone: Develops from
direct transformation of condensed mesenchyme, e.g.,
bones of skull.
(b)Intracartilaginous (Endochondral) bone:
Replaces a preformed cartilage model, e.g., bones of limb
and thoracic cage.
(c) Membranocartilaginous bone: Develops partly
in membrane and partly in cartilage, e.g., clavicle,
mandible scapula.
A) LONG BONES
Long bones: Characterized by elongated tubular shaft.
Having a central medullary cavity and expanded
articular ends (epiphyses), e.g., humerus, radius, femur
etc.
There are three main parts of long bones including:
(a)Epiphysis: Ends of a long bone which ossifies from
secondary centres.
(b)Diaphysis:- shaft of a long bone which ossifies from a
primary centre.
(c)Metaphysis:- The epiphysial ends of diaphysis. It is the
zone of active growth of bone.
