2. OBJECTIVE
β’ Application of medical terminology in relation to general anatomy.
β’ Brief History
β’ Medical terminology
β’ Anatoical planes,Directions and Movements.
3. Brief history
β’ Hundred BC and Second century Scientist,doctors and
artist would experiment and practice on dead body.
β’ Cadavers were positioned flat on their back,thus making it
easier to draw and reference from that position.
β’ Many artist sch as Leonardo da Vinci began to stdy,draw
and diagra the han body.
4. Meaning
β’ It is a greek word Anatome β Meaning Ctting up.
β’ Anatomy- the study of the structre of body pparts and their
relationship to one another.
5. DEFINITION
βIt is the branch of science which involves the
stdy of different structre of the human body
and their relationship with each other.β
9. Position
β’ supine position-when person lying on his back,palm
and face directed upward and feet together.
β’ prone position-person lying on his belly,face directed
downward.
β’ lithotomy position-
οpatient lying on back
οboth feet kept on foot rest
οthighs are seperated
10. position contined....
β’ anterior-near to front
β’ posterior-nearer to the back
β’ superior-near to the head
β’ inferior-near to the foot
β’ medial- nearer to the median
plane
β’ lateral-away to the medial plane
β’ sperficial-toward skin/srface
β’ deep-away fro the skin
11. Anatomical Planes
β’ medial plane/Sagital plane-a plane passing throgh the
center of the body dividing into eqal right and left
halves.
β’ sagital planes-a vertical plane parallel to the medial
plane.
β’ coronal planes-a vertical plane at right angle to the the
median plane dividing body into anterior and posterior
parts.
β’ transverse plane- a plane at right angle to the vertical
plane dividing body into upper and lower part.
β’ obliqe plane-a plane which is not making 90 degree to
the other plane.
12. Movements
β’ Flexion- Bending the joint or decreasing
the angle between two bones.
β’ Extension - Straightening a joint or
increasing the angle between two bones.
β’ Hyperextension- Excessive extension of
the parts at a joint beyond anatomical
position.
