Document Summary

Henry grey (1858): published anatomy text, dissected human body and labeled it. Anatomy: means dissection, gross anatomy means you can see with naked eye. Regional anatomy: take a region and look at all the structures in that region: 11 systems in body, you look at each one in this perspective, sometime regions are not clearly defined, so more general. Anatomical nomenclature landmarks: clear communication and consistency, uses anatomical directions, regions, and, always reference back to the anatomical position even if they aren"t in that position. Anatomical position: always about the patient, right means patient"s right, medial (towards midline), lateral (away from midline, superior (higher), inferior (lower, anterior (front), posterior (back) Planes of reference: frontal: divides in anterior/posterior, sagittal: dissects into a left/right half, midsagittal lies on midline of body. Parasagittal plane is off the midline: transverse: horizontal, parallel to ground, dissects into superior/inferior sections.
