Anatomy

ANATOMY

• is the scientific discipline that investigates the structure of the body.

• anatomy means to dissect, or cut apart and separate, the parts of the body for study

• covers a wide range of studies, including the structure of body parts, their microscopic organization, and the processes by which they develop. 

• examines the relationship between the structure of a body part and its function.

TWO BASIC APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF ANATOMY

SYSTEMIC ANATOMY

REGIONAL ANATOMY

SYSTEMIC ANATOMY

• study of the body by systems.

• is the approach taken in most introductory textbooks.

• Examples: circulatory system, nervous system, skeletal system, and muscular system.

REGIONAL ANATOMY

• study of the organization of the body by areas.

• it is the approach taken in most medical and dental schools.

• Example: head, abdomen and arm are studies simultaneously.

TWO GENERAL WAYS TO EXAMINE THE INTERNAL STRUCTURES OF A LIVING PERSON

SUFRACE ANATOMY

ANATOMICAL IMAGING

Both surface anatomy and anatomical imaging provide important information for diagnosing disease. 

SURFACE ANATOMY

• the study of external features.

• EXAMPLES: bony projections, which serve as landmarks for locating deeper structure.

ANATOMICAL IMAGING

• create pictures of internal structures.

• EXAMPLES:  x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
