Anatomy!

The study of the structure and organization of living organisms, including humans.

*Branches of Anatomy:*

1. *Gross Anatomy*: Study of visible structures, such as organs and tissues.


2. *Microscopic Anatomy*: Study of microscopic structures, such as cells and
tissues.
3. *Comparative Anatomy*: Study of similarities and differences between species.
4. *Developmental Anatomy*: Study of embryonic development and growth.
5. *Neuroanatomy*: Study of the nervous system.

*Human Anatomy:*

1. *Skeletal System*: 206 bones, including skull, vertebral column, ribcage, and
limbs.
2. *Muscular System*: Over 640 muscles, including voluntary and involuntary
muscles.
3. *Circulatory System*: Heart, blood vessels, and blood.
4. *Nervous System*: Brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
5. *Respiratory System*: Lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm.
6. *Digestive System*: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large
intestine.
7. *Endocrine System*: Hormone-producing glands, such as pancreas and thyroid.
8. *Integumentary System*: Skin, hair, nails, and associated glands.

*Key Concepts:*

1. *Tissues*: Groups of similar cells, such as epithelial, connective, muscle, and


nervous tissue.
2. *Organs*: Structures composed of two or more types of tissues, such as heart,
liver, and lungs.
3. *Systems*: Groups of organs working together, such as circulatory and digestive
systems.

*Anatomical Directions:*

1. *Proximal*: Closer to the center of the body.


2. *Distal*: Farther from the center of the body.
3. *Medial*: Toward the midline of the body.
4. *Lateral*: Away from the midline of the body.
5. *Superior*: Above.
6. *Inferior*: Below.
7. *Anterior*: Front.
8. *Posterior*: Back.

*Anatomy Resources:*

1. *Textbooks*: "Gray's Anatomy" and "Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy".


2. *Online Resources*: Kenhub, Anatomy360, and GetBodySmart.
3. *Dissection and Lab*: Hands-on experience with human cadavers or animal
specimens.
