, Introduction to Anatomy
- History:
- Greeks did some anatomy, but for a long time, anatomy was not performed: taboo to cut
in other peoples’ bodies
- Doctors vs surgeons:
- Doctors studied from books and never looked at human body; performed blood
letting to restore imbalance of 4 humors (bodily uids)
- No anatomical images available to them
- Surgeons were not educated (e.g. barbers/butchers); cut the bodies
- 1543: Vesalius made rst anatomical atlas (De humani corporis fabrica)
- Renaissance: starting to open bodies to explore, instead of just relying on book
- See what you believe vs believing what you see
- Anatomy vs physiology:
- Anatomy = studying structure of the body
- Macroscopic to microscopic
- Clinical anatomy + anatomical embryology
- Physiology = studying bodily functions
- Biochemistry + biology + chemistry + genetics
- Structure <-> function
- Organizational levels: atoms -> protein -> laments -> cells -> muscle tissue -> organ ->
organ system -> organism
- Anatomy looks at organ + organ system + organism
- Organ systems:
- Integumentary (=everything that encapsulates us):
- Organs: skin, hair, sweat glands, nails
- Functions: protection against environmental hazards, regulation of body temperature,
providing sensory information
- Skeletal:
- Organs: bones, cartilage, ligaments, bone marrow
- Functions: support+protection for other tissues, storage of calcium and other
minerals, formation of blood cells
- Muscular:
- Organs: skeletal muscles
- Functions: generation of heat+movement+protection, support other tissues
- Nervous:
- Organs: brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, sense organs
- Functions: direct immediate responses to stimuli, coordination/moderation of
activities of other organ systems, providing+interpreting sensory information about
external conditions
- Endocrine (=all organs that produce hormones):
- Organs: pituitary+thyroid+adrenal glands, pancreas, gonads, endocrine tissues in
other systems
- Functions: direct long-term changes in activities of other organ systems, adjustment
of metabolic activity and energy use by body, control of many structural+functional
changes during development
- Lymphatic:
- Organs: spleen, thymus, lymphatic vessels/nodes, tonsils
- Functions: defense against infection+disease, return tissue uids to blood stream
- Digestive:
- Organs: teeth, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small+large intestine, liver,
gallbladder, pancreas
- Functions: process+digest food, absorb+conserve water, absorb nutrients, store
energy reserves

, - Reproductive:
- Male:
- Organs: testes, epididymis, ductus deferentia, seminal vesicles, prostate, penis,
scrotum
- Functions: sexual intercourse, and production of male sex cells (sperm), seminal
uids and hormones
- Female:
- Organs: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, labia, clitoris, mammillary glands
- Functions: sexual intercourse, provide milk to nourish newborn infant, support
developing embryo from conception to delivery, production of female sex cells
(oocytes) and hormones
- Cardiovascular:
- Organs: heart, blood, blood vessels
- Functions: distribution of heat and assistance in body temperature control, and
distribution of blood cells, water, and dissolved materials (incl. nutrients, waste
products, O2, CO2)
- Respiratory:
- Organs: nasal cavities, sinuses, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli
- Functions: deliver air to alveoli (=sites in lungs where gas exchange occurs), provide
O2 to bloodstream, remove CO2 from bloodstream, produce sounds for
communication
- Urinary:
- Organs: kidney, ureters, bladder, urethra
- Functions: excretion of waste products from blood, control water balance by
regulation of urine volume produced, storage of urine prior to voluntary elimination,
regulation of blood ion concentrations and pH
- Topography of human body is all described relative to anatomical stance
- Anatomical planes:
- Coronal = vertical plane dividing body into front and back section
- Sagittal = vertical plane dividing body into left and right section
- Transverse = horizontal plane dividing body into upper and lower section
- Anterior (=front=ventral) vs posterior (=back=dorsal)
- Superior (=top=cranial) vs inferior (=bottom=caudal)
- Proximal (=nearby) vs distal (=further)
- Medial (=midline) vs lateral (=further from midline)
The Heart
ANATOMY OF THE HEART
- The heart:
- Never rests; beats ~100,000x a day (70x/min)
- Pumps 8,000 L/day
- Is as big as your st
- Anatomical position of the heart:
- Located in the middle of the thorax, but bit turned to the left
- Base of the heart (incl. main vessels) — behind sternal angle (=little bump where 2nd rib
joins with sternum), centered a bit to the left
- Lower right point of the heart — 5th intercostal space parasternal on the right (=5th
space between the ribs, next to sternum on the right)
- Apex of the heart (inferior pointed tip) — 5th intercostal space midclavicular on the left
(=5th space between the ribs, at middle of clavicle on the left)
- The great vessels (arteries+veins) are connected to the superior end of the heart at its base
