An Overview of Anatomy
Purpose:
The purpose of this lab and exercise is to explain the meaning of the anatomical position, why it used and to describe the body regions.
Safety concerns that need to be addressed are the use of a kitchen knife when cutting potatoes. When using the kitchen knife the area needs to be secure, no distractions should be near, safety goggles and gloves should be used during the entire experiment.
Exercise 1: Anatomical Position
QUESTION:
A. Explain why it is important to have a universally accepted anatomical position when studying the structure of humans.
By using one standard position when describing the human body descriptions and body regions that are labeled or discussed will not be confused. If something is posterior or inferior then there will be no confusion as to what is being described. This is why it is important to use the anatomical position.
Exercise 2: Surface Anatomy
A. Review Figure 3. Complete the table by placing each letter from the figure next to its corresponding body landmark.
Body Landmark Letter
Sural K
Popliteal D
Tarsal E
Calcaneal L
Brachial F
Cranial A
Acromial H
Buccal B
Axillary C
Olecrenal I
Occipital G
Lumbar J
B. Mr. Shmelgenbelcher has had a rough day. He woke up with a pain in his cervical region. He fell off his bike and bruised his crural region. He pulled a muscle in his inguinal region and was whacked by a revolving door in his scapular region. Describe where each of these areas of the body is located on poor Mr. Shmelgenbelcher.
Cervical region- Neck
Crural region- Leg
Inguinal region- Groin
Scapular region- Shoulder
Exercise 3: Body Orientation
A. Using the directional terms you learned in Exercise 3, fill in the following blanks
a. The nose is _medial_ to the ears.
b. The elbow is _proximal_to the shoulder and
