STOCK UP ON NAPS
To stay healthy, especially during the influenza
season, get the recommended seven to eight
hours of sleep a night. This will help keep your
immune system in fighting shape, and also
protect you from other health issues including
heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. If your
sleep schedule is interrupted by a busy
workweek or other factors, try to make up for the
lost rest with naps. Taking two naps that are no
longer than 30 minutes each —one in the
morning and one in the afternoon—has been

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY
THE ORGAN
SYSTEMS
ANATOMICAL LANDMARKS
The standard anatomical reference for the
human form is the anatomical position. When the
body is in this position, the hands are at the sides
with the palms facing forward, and the feet are
together. A person lying down in the anatomical
position is said to be supine when face up, and
prone when face down.
BODY REGIONS
The illustration shows the terms for the different
regions of the body. These terms are used
extensively when performing clinical
examinations and medical procedures.
DIRECTIONAL TERMS
Directional terms are generally grouped in pairs of
opposites. All terms are based on the body being in
the anatomical position—standing erect, arms at the
sides, with face, palms, and feet facing forward. Keep
in mind, too, that the terms right and left always
refer to the patient’s right and left side.

Your skeletal system includes the bones of the
skeleton and, the cartilages, ligaments, and
other connective tissues that stabilize or
interconnect the bones. This system has five
primary functions:

The skeletal system provides structural support
for the entire body. Individual bones or groups of
bones provide a framework for the attachment of
soft tissues and organs.
