Introduction to Anatomy
Anatomy is… • The study of structure • We study what it is, what it’s shaped like, what it’s made of • “What is does” is left for physiology next semester
Microscopic vs. Gross Anatomy Microscopic Gross • Structures that cannot be viewed with the naked eye • AKA macroscopic anatomy • anything that can be seen with the naked eye
Approaches to gross anatomy • Comparative anatomy examines similarities and differences of different species
Approaches to gross anatomy • Developmental anatomy investigates the changes in structure from conception through maturity • Embryology is specifically concerned with development before birth
Approaches to gross anatomy • Regional anatomy examines structures in a particular region of the body (e. g. , skin, bones, muscles) • Surface anatomy examines superficial anatomic markings and internal body structures as they relate to the skin covering them • Systemic anatomy studies gross anatomy of each system in the body (ex. digestive, urinary)
Structural organization of the body • Simplest level of organization is chemical level • atoms: the smallest units of matter • molecules: two or more atoms bounded together • Simplest level of LIFE is cellular level
How did we get here? • In the primordial soup, atoms bound together to make molecules • Then fat molecules bound together to make a fat ball with nucleotides inside • Then the nucleotides bound together into a chain and replicated themselves • Let this repeat itself over a billion years, and viola! Life!
Organization • Most basic level of life: cellular level of organization • Most basic organisms are unicellular • Not necessarily old species
red and white blood cells Cellular level of organization • In multicellular organisms, different types of cells have different neurons functions • different functions have different shapes osteocytes make bone muscle cells many types of cells in skin
Tissue level of organization • Cells with a common function are organized into tissues • One tissue may contain several types of cells • In some organisms, tissues not organized into organs red and white blood cells many types of cells in skin
Organ level of organization “brain” • Tissues with similar functions organized into organs teste sperm duct ovary ovariduct seminal vesicles copulatory organ proboscis for feeding gut nerve net
Organ level of organization
Organ system level of development • Organs with similar function work together in systems

What makes life? • A Cell! • Plasma membrane • DNA and other stuff inside
What else makes life? • Organization: complex structure and order • Metabolism: chemical reactions including breaking down molecules into digestible particles • Growth and development: increased size from assimilation of materials from the environment • Responsiveness: sense and respond to changes in the environment • Regulation: maintain a consistent internal environment • Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a steady state inside the body • Reproduction: produce new cells for growth, also replicate self
One more thing • Adaptation • At the population level, organisms adapt (Individuals DON’T adapt) • Each generation is different from the last • Each generation contains individuals whose ancestors were better at reproduction than another individual • Over many generations (thousands to millions of years) populations become altered in response to their environment
Anatomic position • Used when referring to parts of the body • Common point of reference • Standing, facing forward, feet straight head, head forward, arms at sides, palms facing forward, thumbs away from the body
Dividing the body • Planes are imaginary slices that divide the body • Help describe where things are in relation to other things
• Coronal plane Fig. 1. 5 • vertical • divides into front and back • Transverse plane • aka cross-sectional plane or horizontal plane • perpendicular to axis of body • separates into upper and lower (b) Coronal section • Midsaggital plane • vertical through center of body • separates into right and left halves (c) Transverse section • Saggital plane is to left or right of midsaggital (d) Midsagittal section
Dividing the body • Body parts can also be divided along planes Fig. 1. 6
Anatomic directions • Used to describe where things are in relation to other things • Anterior = front • toward the front surface of the body • The coyote’s nose is anterior to its eyes • Ventral = belly side of body • The coyote has a ventral gray patch • ventral = anterior in humans
Anatomic directions • Posterior = back • behind; toward the back surface • The coyote’s cheek lies posterior to its grin • Dorsal = booty side of body • The coyote has a dorsal tail The shark has a scary dorsal fin posterior = dorsal in humans
Anatomic directions • Superior = above • closer to the head • The coyote’s yellow eyes are superior to its tail • Inferior = below • closer to the feet • The coyote’s tail is inferior to its ears
Anatomic directions • Cranial = at the head end • closer to the head • The coyote’s ears are cranial to its shoulders • Caudal = at the tail end • closer to the tail; in humans, closer to the feet • The coyote’s tail is caudal to its ears
Anatomic directions • Medial = middle • toward the midline of the body • The coyote’s chest hair tuft is medial to the arm • Lateral = side • away from the midline of the body • The coyote’s cheeks are lateral to the nose
Anatomic directions • ipsilateral = on the same side • The coyote’s tail is ipsilateral to its raised eyebrow • contralateral = on the opposite side • The right hand is contralateral to the left foot
Anatomic directions • Proximal = closer to the point of attachment to the trunk • The coyote’s knee is proximal to the foot • Distal = farther from the point of attachment to the trunk • The coyote’s fist is distal to the elbow
Anatomic directions • Superficial = on the outside, closer to the outside • The dough boy’s skin is superficial to his intestines • Deep = on the inside, underneath another structure • The dough boy’s heart is deep to his ribs
Medical Imaging • Radiography (X-rays) • X-rays (high-energy radiation) sent through body • Pass through soft tissue, leaving image of hard tissues: bone, teeth, tumors
Medical Imaging • Sonography (ultrasound) • high-frequency sound waves penetrate body, bounce off tissues and return • inexpensive, portable, no harmful radiation • shows hard tissue and some soft tissue • not very sharp images (getting better)
Medical Imaging • Computed Tomography (CT) • • • uses low-intensity X-rays that pass through the body Produces images of dime-thick slices of the body Produces 3 -D image Sharper image that X-rays Visible Human Project
Medical Imaging • Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) • 3 -D, X-rays • Used to observe blood vessels • Radiographs taken before and after injecting an opaque medium into blood vessel • Useful in angioplasty (insertion of stent into blocked blood vessel)
Medical Imaging • Dynamic Spatial Reconstruction (DSR) • • Uses modified CT scanners Produces 3 -D images of organs provides info about movement of organ valuable for evaluating heart function
Medical Imaging • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) • provides image of soft tissues • not clear images of hard tissues • Uses magnet and causes protons in tissues to align • functional MRI (f. MRI) provides map of oxygen flow in the brain
Medical Imaging • Positron emission tomography (PET) • • Analyze metabolic state of tissues Patient injected with radioactive sugar Determine which tissues are most active Can determine if cancer has metastasized
