A First Look at Anatomy
„
„
Anatomy is the study of structure.
The word anatomy is derived from
Greek and means “to cut up” or “to cut
open.”
ƒ Anatomists examine the relationships
among parts of the body along with the
structure of individual organs.
1-2
Introduction to Anatomy
„
Physiology
ƒ The scientific discipline that studies the
function of body structures.
ƒ Structure and function cannot be
completely separated.
ƒ Form is related to function.

Levels of Organization in
the Human Body
„
The simplest level of organization within
the body is the chemical level, which is
composed of atoms and molecules.
ƒ Atoms are the smallest units of matter.
1-5
Levels of Organization in
the Human Body
„
Molecules
ƒ Two or more atoms combine to form a
molecule, such as a protein, a water
molecule, or a vitamin.
„
Macromolecules
ƒ Larger and more complex molecules such
as DNA and proteins.
1-6

Levels of Organization in
the Human Body
„
At the cellular level, specialized
structural and functional units called
organelles permit all living cells to share
some common functions.
1-7
Levels of Organization in
the Human Body
„
Large molecules join in specific ways to
form cells, the basic units of structure
and function in organisms.
ƒ The cell is the smallest structural unit that
exhibits the characteristics of living things
(organisms), and it is the smallest living
portion of the human body.
1-8
Levels of Organization in
the Human Body
„
Tissues
ƒ Groups of similar cells with a common
function form tissue.
ƒ Tissues are precise organizations of similar
cells that perform specialized functions.
1-9

Levels of Organization in
the Human Body
„
Organs
ƒ Different tissue types that work together to
perform specific, complex functions form
an organ.
ƒ Organ Systems
ƒ The organ system level consists of related
organs that work together to coordinate
activities and achieve a common function.
ƒ There are 11 organ systems in the human
body.
1-10
Levels of Organization in
the Human Body
„
Organism
ƒ All body systems function interdependently
in a single living human being, the
organism.
1-11
The Four Types of Tissues in
the Human Body Are:
„
Epithelial tissue covers exposed
surfaces and lines body cavities.
ƒ Example: The inner lining of the digestive
system
1-12

The Four Types of Tissues
„
Connective tissue protects,
supports, and interconnects body
parts and organs.
ƒ Can be solid (such as bone), liquid (such
as blood), or intermediate (such as
cartilage).
1-13
The Four Types of Tissues
„
Muscle tissue produces movement.
ƒ Skeletal muscle

and progesterone)

Anatomical
Terminology
„
„
„
Anatomic position is a
specific body position in
which an individual stands
upright with the feet
parallel and flat on the
floor.
The head is level, and the
eyes look forward toward
the observer.
The arms are at either side
of the body with the palms
facing forward and the
thumbs pointing away from
the body.
1-28
Anatomical Terminology
„
„
A plane is an imaginary surface that
slices the body into specific sections.
The three major anatomic planes of
reference are the coronal, transverse,
and sagittal planes.
1-29
Sections
and Planes
A coronal plane, also
called a frontal plane,
is a vertical plane that
divides the body into
anterior (front) and
posterior (back) parts.
1-30
10
Sections
and Planes
„
A transverse plane, also
called a cross-sectional
plane or horizontal
plane, cuts
perpendicularly along
the long axis of the body
or organ separating it
into both superior
(upper) and inferior
(lower) parts.
1-31
Sections
and Planes
„
A sagittal plane or
median plane,
extends through
the body or organ
vertically and
divides the
structure into right
and left halves.
1-32
Sections and Planes
„
„
„
A sagittal plane in the body midline is a
midsagittal plane.
A plane that is parallel to the midsagittal
plane, but either to the left or the right of it,
is termed a parasagittal (or sagittal) plane.
A minor plane, called the oblique plane,
passes through the specimen at an angle.
1-33

Directional Terms of the
Body
„
Directional terms are precise and brief,
and for most of them there is a
correlative term that means just the
opposite.
1-34
Relative and Directional
Terms of the Body
„
Relative to front (belly
side) or back (back
side) of the body :
ƒ Anterior = In front of;
toward the front surface
ƒ Posterior = In back of;
toward the back surface
ƒ Dorsal =At the back
side of the human body
ƒ Ventral = At the belly
side of the human body
1-35
Relative and Directional
Terms of the Body
„
Relative to the head
or tail of the body:
ƒ Superior = Toward the
head or above
ƒ Inferior = Toward feet
not head
ƒ Caudal = At the rear or
tail end
ƒ Cranial = At the head
end
1-36
12
Relative and Directional
Terms of the Body
„
Relative to the midline
or center of the body:
ƒ Medial = Toward the
midline of the body
ƒ Lateral = Away from the
midline of the body
ƒ Deep = On the inside,
underneath another
structure
ƒ Superficial = On the
outside
1-37
Relative and Directional
Terms of the Body
„
Relative to point of
attachment of the
appendage:
ƒ Proximal = Closest
to point of
attachment to trunk
ƒ Distal = Furthest
from point of
attachment to trunk
1-38
Body Regions
„
The human body is partitioned into two
main regions, called the axial and
appendicular regions.
ƒ the axial region includes the head, neck,
and trunk which comprise the main vertical
axis of our body
ƒ our limbs, or appendages, attach to the
body’s axis and make up the
appendicular region

Body Cavities
and Membranes
„
The posterior aspect
of the body has two
enclosed cavities
ƒ A cranial cavity is
formed by the
cranium and houses
the brain.
ƒ A vertebral canal is
formed by the
individual bones of
the vertebral column
and contains the
spinal cord.
1-43
Body Cavities
„
Both the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
are lined with thin serous membranes, which
are composed of two layers:
ƒ A parietal layer lines the internal surface of the
body wall.
ƒ A visceral layer covers the external surface of
organs (viscera) within the cavity.
ƒ Between the parietal and visceral layers of the
serous membrane is a thin serous cavity,
containing a lubricating film of serous fluid.
1-44
Body Cavities and
Membranes
„
„
Constant movement of the organs
causes friction.
The serous fluid reduces friction and
helps the organs move smoothly
against both one another and the body
wall.
1-45

46
Body Cavities and Membranes
„
„
The median
space in the
thoracic cavity is
called the
mediastinum.
It contains the
heart, thymus,
esophagus,
trachea, and major
blood vessels that
connect to the
heart.
1-47
Body Cavities and
Membranes
ƒ Within the mediastinum, the heart is enclosed
by a two-layered serous membrane called the
pericardium.

The Thoracic Cavity
„
The right and left sides of the thoracic
cavity contain the lungs; they are lined
by a two-layered serous membrane
called the pleura.
ƒ The outer layer is the parietal pleura; it lines the
internal surface of the thoracic wall
ƒ The inner layer is the visceral pleura; it covers
the external surface of the lung
ƒ The narrow, moist, potential space between
them is called the pleural cavity

Abdominopelvic Cavity
„
The abdominopelvic cavity consists
of an abdominal cavity and a pelvic
cavity.
1-52
The Abdominopelvic Cavity
„
The peritoneum
is a moist, twolayered serous
membrane. that lines
the abdominopelvic
cavity.

Abdominopelvic Regions
„
The abdominopelvic
cavity is partitioned
into 9 smaller,
imaginary
compartments.
