anatomy definitions, planes, orientation, movement

QuestionAnswer
anatomy definition (and applied) structure and parts of an organism -Applied Anatomy: for diagnosing and treating
physiology definition function/purpose of a living organism and its components
axis definition midline of a structure
axial skeleton skeleton type, bones of head and trunk -spine is axis/midline
appendicular skeleton skeleton type, bones of the appendages -arms, legs
neuroaxis axis/midline of the brain

parts of the body 1. skull 2. upper extremities (shoulder to hand) 3. trunk/torso 4. lower extremities (pelvis down)
body planes 1. coronal plane (or frontal) 2. sagittal plane 3. transverse plane
coronal/frontal plane divides FRONT and BACK
sagittal plane divides LEFT and RIGHT
transverse plane divides UP and DOWN
differences in embryo orientation use do not use superior/inferior or anterior/posterior use: dorsal/ventral and rostral/caudal
lateral view of body viewing from side
anterior view of body viewing from front
anterior/ventral (rostral) toward front of body -anterior = head -ventral = torso
posterior/dorsal toward back of body -posterior refers to head dorsal refers to torso
superior/rostral toward the head
inferior / Caudal toward the feet
medial closer to midline of the body
lateral further from midline
proximal nearer to trunk/point of origin
distal farther from trunk/point of origin
superficial near surface of the body -not deep
deep more internal than superficical
supine laying on back -up
