Anatomy Sacrococygeal kyphosis

-is the study of the parts of the body


In relation to their function and dysfunction Front curvature - lordosis 
Back curvature - kyphosis 
Gross Anatomy
-study of body structures that can be studied Trunk 
Without microscope Upper portion - Thoracic Region
Middle: Sternal
Systemic anatomy Sides: Pectoral region
-approach to study anatomy by studying  Lower portion - abdominal region
Specific body systems Central: umbilical region

Regional Anatomy Pelvic region


-this approach is used to study anatomy by Inguinal region - is the region that connects
Regions of the body  The LE to the pelvic region
Pubic (genitals)
Surface Anatomy Perineal (between the anus and genital)
-this approach uses surface landmarks in
understanding the  Appendicular region
Internal body structures
Upper extremity
Anatomic Position  Axillary region - the attachment of the UE to 
-standard portion for studying anatomy The axial skeleton
-head is in midline Shoulder region (acromial region)
-the eyes are pointed forward Arm region (brachial region)
-the palms are turned up  Elbow region 
-the feet are pointed forward Front: antecubital
Back: olecranal
Positional terms Forearm region (antebrachial region)
Supine - the individual is lying Wrist (carpal)
On its back Hand region (manus)
Prone - the individual is lying face down Carpometacarpal
Metacarpal
Regional Terminologies Digits (fingers)
Thumb (pollex)

Dorsal  Abduction
Adduction
Directional terms
Internal
Layered structures External rotation
Superficial - it pertains to the surface, or
Near the surface Body cavities
Intermediate - middle structure
Deep - below or far from the surface Cranial cavity
-space enclosed by the cranial bones of
Superior - structures at the top The skull
Inferior - structures below -houses the brain
Medial - close to the midline -is lined with soft tissue known as meninges
Lateral - away from the midline
Anterior - structures in front Vertebral cavity
Posterior - structures at the back -it is enclosed within the vertebral column
Proximal - near attachment site -encloses the spinal cord
Distal  - far from the attachment site -is also lined by meninges

Ipsilateral Thoracic Cavity


Contralateral -superiorly : first rib
-inferiorly : dome of the diaphragm
Planes and Sections of the Body -lateral borders: ribs and muscles of the thorax
-anterior : sternum
Sagittal plane - divides the body into left and right -posterior border: vertebral column
portions -divided into four portions

Midsagittal section - the view produced Pericardial cavity


When dividing the body into left and right halves -it houses the heart
-it is found between the lungs within the 
Coronal plane (frontal) Thoracic cavity
-divides the body into front and back portions -is lined by a serous membrane known
As pericardium
Frontal or coronal section - view produced when
the (2) pleural cavity
Body is divided into front and back halves -houses the lungs
-they are found lateral to the heart and
Transverse plane - divides the body into Mediastinum
Upper and lower portions -is lined by a serous membrane known as
The pleura
Transverse section - it is the view
Produces when the body is divided into Mediastinum
Top and bottom halves -central portion of the thoracic cavity
-encloses midline structures such as trachea,
Oesophagus, thyroid glands, thymus gland

Abdominopelvic cavity
-cavity that lies under the diaphragm
-lined by a serous membrane known as
Peritoneum

Abdominal cavity (superior portion)


-encloses the most of the organs of the 
Digestive system (stomach, liver, pancreas,
Small intestine, and some large intestine

Pelvic cavity (inferior portion)


-encloses organs of the reproductive and urinary
system
Except KIDNEYS
-encloses portion of the large intestine,
Ureter, urethra, reproductive organs

*KIDNEYS ARE RETROPERITONEAL

Serous membrane
-double-layered, fluid filled membranes
 Parts of the serous membrane
Outer parietal layer
Cavity with fluid content
Inner visceral layer
