• -Study of Structure
• -Greek for "cut up" or "cut open"

-The study of function

-Structures too small to be seen with the unaided eye

Structures that CAN be seen with the unaided eye

Examines similarities and differences in anatomy of species.

Study of Structure changes within an individual from conception through maturity

• – Study of developmental changes occurring prior
• to birth

1. Regional Anatomy- study of structures within a single region....head, neck or abdomen

2. Systemic Anatomy- study of structures involved with a specific activity....digestion or reproduction

3. Surface Anatomy- study of internal structures as their locations relate to regions of skin or other surface markings

-An actual cut or slice through a structure

-or a piece remeved by slicing a structure

-Imaginary flat surfaces passing through the body or an organ

• 1. Coronal(frontal) plane{kawr-uh-nl}
• - divides the body into anterior(front) and posterior(back) parts

• 2. Transverse(horizontal) plane{trans-vurs}
• -divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior(lower) parts

• 3. Midsagittal(median) plane
• -divides the body into equal left and right halves
• *safittal planes divide the body into unequal left and right parts
• 

• Head, neck, trunk(vertical axis of the body)
• 

• Upper and lower limbs(appendages)
• 

*Cranial: formed by skull bones

• *Vertebral[vur-tuh-bruhl]: formed by vertebral column bones
• 

*Thoracic[thaw-ras-ik]the superior cavity

• *Abdominopelvic: the inferior cavity(physically seprated by the diaphram
• 

*Parietal layer[puh-rahy-i-tl]-lines the internal surface of the body wall

• *Visceral layer[vis-er-uhl]-covers the external surface of organs in the cavity
• 

• Thoracic Cavity[thawr-uh-kuhl]
• the heart is located in a middle compartment called mediastinum
• 

*Visceral -on surface of heart

• *Parietal pericardium-surrounding heart
• 

*Abdominal Cavity-superior

• *Pelvic Cavity-inferior
• 

*largest cavity, it is divided

*2 sagittal/2 horizontal planes

• *9 regions 
• 

• *Abdominopelvic Quadrant cavity can also be divided into 4 quadrants
