Document Summary
200 different pairs of cells in the body. 4 different type of tissues that make up the human body: regional anatomy usually done on cadavers. Studying one area that extracting out of cadaver. When dissecting whole cadaver: studying all of the systems. Can"t take away all muscles to study the bones and vs. need to study all the systems that you see: systemic anatomy preferred way to teach anatomy. Studying individual systems looking at each in isolation (i. e. , just looking at bones) Each are going to have a muscular attachment. Using anatomical directions (always use the patient"s direction), regions, and landmarks. I. e. , direction stab wound is on the right. Akin to having a 3d compass n, s, e, w plus up/down. Medial to lateral draw line through center of the body - axis of symmetry. If any system is closer to the center medial. If any system is further from midline lateral.
