The document defines anatomy as the science dealing with the structures of the body and the relationships between parts. It describes the symmetrical and asymmetrical arrangements of body parts and the anatomical position for studying the human body. Key body systems like the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and musculoskeletal systems are also mentioned along with anatomical planes and directions used to describe the human form.

2. DEFINITION-
 ANATOMY is a science that deals with the structures
of the body and the relationship of various parts to
each other. A knowledge of these structures is
necessary to understand their functions.

3. The arrangement of various parts of the
body may be-
 SYMMETRICAL-
Their arrangement on the right side and left side are similar
e.g. Limbs, Eye, Ear, Lungs etc.

4.  ASSYMMETRICAL-
Having two sides or halves that are not the same called
Asymmetrical. e.g. Spleen, Liver etc.

6.  The study of human body is done in anatomical
position. In this position, the body is erect, the head
is facing forward, arms by the sides and palms of hand
facing forwards.

7. Following are the imaginary
planes which are used to describe
the Human body

8.  Median line (mid saggital plane)- The plane which
divides the body into two halves.
 Medial- Nearer to median line.
 Lateral- Away from the median line.
 Superior- Nearer to the head.

9.  Inferior- Nearer to the foot.
 Anterior- Nearer to the front surface of the body.
 Posterior- Nearer to the back surface of the body.
 Proximal- Nearer to the origin of the structure.
 Distal- Away from the origin of the structure.

10. The subject matter of Anatomy
includes-
 Cytology study of cells.
 Osteology study of bones.
 Arthrology study of joints.
 Myeology study of muscles.
 Neurology study of nervous system.

11. BODY SYSTEM-

12.  CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM-

13.  RESPIRATORY SYSTEM-

14. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM-

15. MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM:
