Anatomy
Anatomy
↳ Structure in which the human life occurs
Types of Anatomy
3 types of Anatomy
1. Regional
2. Systemic
3. Clinical
Regional Anatomy
Regional anatomy :- Organizes a human body into regions, areas, zones
Major body regions are :- (i) Head (ii) Trunk (iii) A pair of Upper Limbs (iv) A pair of Lower
Limbs (v) Neck
↓
Trunk consists of thorax, abdomen, back, pelvis/perineum
Subregions/Areas and Zone -
E.g :- Head is the region , Face will be subregion, Eyeballs will be zones
U.L is the region, Hand is the subregion, Fingers are the zones
Regional anatomy can also be described thru surface. (Surface Anatomy)
Surface anatomy gives the knowledge of what lies under the skin of the human body.
The aim of surface anatomy is to visualize and distinguish any unusual abnormalities or
findings in clinical practice.
Physical Examination
It is the clinical application of surface anatomy.
Palpation is the clinical technique, used with listening and observing
Instruments like Ophthalmoscopy - observe the features of eyeballs
Stethoscope - Listening to sounds in hearts and lungs
,In Depth physical examination can be done thru Radiography, endoscopy, sectional
imaging
Radiography and sectional imaging
Provides useful information about normal structure in the human body, effects of muscle
tone, body fluids and pressure.
Diagnostic radiography reveals effect of trauma, aging, pathology
Endoscopic Techniques
A flexible optic fiber devices is inserted into the internal organs such as stomach
To learn regional anatomy, computer help is there but then there is prosections → Carefully
prepared dissection for
demonstrating of anatomical structure
, Systemic Anatomy
Divides the human body into systems.
It is the study of the body’s organ systems that has various complex functions.
Various type of systems are :-
A. Integumentary system (dermatology)
Consists of skin, hairs, nails and sweat glands and subcutaneous tissue
