Human Anatomy text that correspond to the exercises in the Wise: Human Anatomy Laboratory Manual,
6th edition.
Organs, Systems, and Organization of the Body
INTRODUCTION
In this exercise, you should introduce the field of anatomy with directional terms and general discussions of the
systemic study of anatomy. Comparisons of organ systems with regional anatomy are useful for students, and
students should list what organs belong to what system and what constitutes an organ. Torso models and organ
models are good to set out so that students can begin to associate organs with organ systems.
When discussing the atomic level of organization, having available MRIs from local hospitals or physicians allows
students to examine the importance of anatomic study from various perspectives and technologies. It is also
important to compare directional terms for quadrupeds with those for humans, as superior and inferior are specific
terms for humans. The terms anterior/ventral and posterior/dorsal are synonymous in humans while the anterior
end of a quadruped is toward the nose and the dorsal side is along the vertebral column.
Planes of sectioning are also important concepts in the study of anatomy. Illustrations of organs that have been
sectioned or thin sections of organs embedded in plastic make good tools for discussing sectioning planes.
Likewise, the use of torso models for the discussion of body cavities provides a good visual medium for
demonstration.
Most students have an intuitive sense and some familiarity with the regions of the body. Particular notice should be
given to the specific use of "arm" (from the shoulder to the elbow) and "leg" (from the knee to the ankle) used in
anatomy. Descriptions of the abdominal region are also reasonably comprehensible. The term "hypochondriac"
comes from the Greek words meaning "under the cartilage." In earlier times the hypochondriac area was thought to
be the center of melancholy.
