Studying structure is anatomy. Studying function is physiology. Something can have numerous physiological purposes.
A cell is made of a nucleus and cytoplasm, made of a watery matrix cytosol, and organelles. Cells comine to form a tissue. All tissues are epithelium, connective, muscle, or nerve. Tissues grouped to perform a function form organs. An organ system is a serious of organs together. The human body has 10 organ systems. Together they form an organism. A series of humans connected electromagnetically by their language centers and other portions of the brain and body circuitry form the human organism.
Superior is to the upper end of the body in the same plane. Inferior means below. Ventral or anterior refers to the front of the body. The Anterior portion of the Caribbean is the 'front' to European powers. Antilles? It may not be technically a fact but i will remember it that way.
Posterior or dorsal refer to the backside. Medial is the middle. Lateral is to the side. Proximal is of proximity to the center. A proximal item to closer to the source. A distal item is more distant from the source.
Ipsilateral is the same side of the body. Contralateral is different sides of the body.
Superficial vs deep.
Planes: sagittal. From superior to inferior. Vertical. Mid-sagittal means equal on both sides. Parasagittal is not equal on both sides. Transverse is horizontal. Frontal or coronal is into dorsal and ventral portions. Oblique is odd cuts.
Armpit is axillary. Arm is brachial. Front of elbow is antecubital. The cubit is from the elbow to the tip of the finger. About 18". Before the cubit is the elbow. The back of the elbow is olecranal. The forearm is literally antebrachial. The wrist is a carpal. The hand is metacarpal. After the wrist. Palm of hand is palmar or volar. The thumb is a pollex! Fingers are phalangial. Phalanxes from the hand. German: catchers. The thigh is femoral. The femoral artery can be used in the heart and is located in the thigh. The front of the knee is patellar. The back of the knee is popliteal. That'd suck. The leg is crural. Probably more specifically referred to in actuality, but crural nonetheless. The foot is pedal. Ankle is tarsal. The tarsus. The top of the foot is the dorsum. Dorsal is the back portion... of the foot. The top. The 'great toe' is the hallux. Like pollex of the foot. Toes are phalangeal to the foot. The groin is inguinal.
The head is cephalic. Cephalitis = pride. The skull is cranial. Frontal = forehead. Above eyes = superio-orbital. The eye is an orbit. The ear is otic, like the otic nerve. The cheek is buccal. The chin is mental, like the thinker. The neck is cervical, like an opening. If you cut a head off there is a hole there called the neck. The nape of the neck is nuchal, which is just fine. The chest is thoracic like the thorax of an insect. The naval is umbillical. The hip is coxal.
The shoulders are acromial. Acrobatics involve shoulder use. The upper back is the scapular. The lower back is the lumbar. There are actually 5 regions of the spine involving the acronym CTLSC. The buttocks are gluteal. the calf is sural. Between the hips is also sacral. Hence the sacroiliac. The sole of the foot is plantar, where plantars warts go. The heel of the foot is calcaneal.
The body cavities: Dorsal Cavities. Cranial cavity in the skull. The vertebral cavity is the spinal column for that fluid and bone.
The Ventral Cavities: The Thoracic Cavity and the Abdominopelvic Cavity are in the ventral aspect of the body. They are seperated by the diaphraghm.
Inside the Thoracic Cavity is the Mediastinal Cavity, holding the heart, between the stinal areas, Pleural Cavities. Lungs are pleural. Pleurisy. The right lung has 3 lobes. The left lung has two and has the cardiac notch where the heart fits.
