Anatomical Directional Terms

This series of courses covers the structure of the body’s parts – their forms and how they are organized – and their function, anatomical and disease state terminology.

Upper chest, sub sternal radiating to neck and jaw, sub sternal radiating down left arm, epigastric, epigastric radiating to neck, jaw, and arms, neck and jaw, left shoulder ad down both arms, and intrascapular

- Regional anatomy, all the structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as the abdomen or leg, are examined at the same time.

If you were to perform a physical assessment, which body system would be a top

The musculoskeletal system provides support for the body as it provides protection, protecting the body from any possible damage. The limbs of the body, e.g. arms, legs, hips and shoulders help support and keep the body held up. Many other bones support different parts of the body such as the rib cage supports and protects all the organs which are located inside the rib cage, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys and others. The shape of the skeleton allows us to cope with

Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone, but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions, like the genioglossus muscle, for example, originates at the chin (geneion) and inserts in the tongue (glossus). Some muscles are named for the arrangement of the fascicle groups. For example the rectus abdominus is the straight muscle that is in the adbominus.

of the skin, skeletal muscles, bones and joints. The visceral division on the other hand carries

Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals

In the fetal pig, an anterior structure would be the head, whereas posterior refers to the tail end of the pig.

The transverse plane divides a structure into superior and inferior parts. The frontal plane divides a structure into anterior and posterior parts.

In this assignment I’m going to talk about the structure of the main tissues which are found within the body as well as what their role is in the terms of two named organs of the body. Tissues are a collection of similar cells that group together to carry out a specific function within the body. There are four different types of tissue found in the human body which include; epithelial tissue; connective tissue; muscle tissue and nerve tissue.

Identify the major surface muscles located in the body. Where are the orgins and insertions of these muscles? List the intended actions as well as an exercise or movement for each. A minimum of fifteen muscles is required.

The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones containing the appendage bones, the pectoral and pelvic girdles. It is responsible for the ability of movements and the protection of the major organs in the human body.

The musculoskeletal system is a made up of the muscular system and the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides the internal framework for the body, it protects the organs by enclosing it and anchors skeletal muscles so that the muscles can contract thus causing movement. The skeleton is divided into two divisions: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 94). The Axial skeleton are the bones that have formed the longitudinal axis of the body which is made up of the skull, the vertebral column and the thoracic cage (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 98). The Appendicular skeleton are the bones of limbs and griddles that are attached to the axial skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 103).
