Lecture 3 and 4 - 13/03/18 - anatomical basis of movement: bones and joints. Anatomy is the science that studies the structure of the human body, and the relationship of its parts to each other. Human anatomy is primarily the scientific study of the morphology (form and structure) if the adult human body. The study of anatomy is divided into: gross anatomy (studied by dissection, histology (microscopic, embryology (development, neuroanatomy (nervous system) Bone requires the same factors as any living organism: nutrients, oxygen, heat, pressure. Bone function: protect, support, movement, blood cell formation (e. g bone marrow, mineral storage (e. g calcium, phosphate, inorganic component) Classification of bones according to shape: long bone humerus of arm, look dog bone shaped, e. g, short bones carpals of wrist, flat bones parietal bone of skull. Osteons tubes inside of tubes: lamellae - filled with collagen fibres that run in the same directions.
