Human Anatomy Study Guide 2020

This document provides an overview of human anatomy. It begins with defining anatomy and its two main divisions: macroscopic anatomy which studies larger structures, and microscopic anatomy which studies tissues at the cellular and histological levels. Key anatomical terms like median plane, sagittal plane, and proximal/distal are introduced. The basic levels of biological organization from chemical to organismal are reviewed. The four main tissue types - epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous - are listed. The major organ systems like nervous, endocrine, digestive and others and their basic functions are outlined. Specific structures of the nervous system like the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves and spinal nerves are described. Finally, the endocrine system and its main

THE HUMAN ANATOMY

Anatomy is the science of the structure

Usually divided into 2


1. Macroscopic or Gross anatomy - study of
larger body structures.
× regional anatomy
× systemic anatomy
× surface anatomy
2. Microscopic anatomy
× cytology
× histology of the body.
Anatomical terms to remember:

Median plane - an imaginary vertical plane of section that passes


longitudinally through the body and divides it into right and left halves.

Sagittal plane - vertical plane through the body that is parallel with the
median plane

Anterior or ventral -nearer the front of the body.

Posterior or dorsal- nearer the back

Superior/cranial/cephalic -nearer the top or upper end of the body.

Inferior/caudal- nearer the lower end

proximal and distal are used to indicate, respectively, nearer to and


farther from the root or attached end of the limb.
Cell
Review the basic parts of cell and its
functions. Level of Organization
1. Chemical
2. Cellular
3. Tissue
4. Organ
5. System
6. Organismal

Tissue
4 types:
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Organs

Organ system includes nervous and endocrine for whole body control while skeletal and
muscular are for support and movement controls.
Other systems include digestive, circulatory, immune, respiratory, excretory, integumentary,
reproductive.

Nervous system
Central nervous system
Components are brain and spinal cord

Peripheral nervous sytem


Components include cranial nerves, spinal nerves, ganglia
