Intro Anatomical language is one of the fundamental languages of medicine From Latin or Greek, but now are vernacularized The Terminologia Anatomica, drawn up by the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FCAT) in 1998, has served as our guide in preparing the 39th Edition of Grays Anatomy Including words are often used, possibly more so by clinicians than anatomists Vedio 5:40 2:52 Case 1 48 year-old woman with abdominal pain BP: 135/70 mmHg Temp: 98.5°F (36.9°C) RR: 16/minute HR: 76/minute, regular History PE Diagnosis Case 2 a 51-year-old male construction worker, comes to the office complaining of back pain BP: 120/85 mmHg Temp: 98.2°F (36.8°C) RR: 20/minute HR: 80/minute, regular History PE Diagnosis To avoid ambiguity, all anatomical descriptions assume that the body is in the conventional anatomical position, i.e. standing erect and facing forwards, upper limbs by the side with the palms facing forwards, and lower limbs together with the feet facing forwards (Fig. 1.1). Descriptions are based on four imaginary planes, median, sagittal, coronal and horizontal, applied to a body in the anatomical position. The median plane passes longitudinally through the body and divides it into right and left halves. The sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane. The coronal plane is orthogonal to the median plane and divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back). The horizontal (transverse) plane is orthogonal to both median and sagittal planes. Radiologists refer to transverse planes as (trans)axial. Convention dictates that axial anatomy is viewed as though looking from the feet towards the head.Body_ID: P001005Structures nearer the head are superior; cranial may be used when talking about the head. Structures closer to the feet are inferior; caudal is frequently used in embryology to refer to the tail end of the embryo. Medial and lateral indicate closeness to the midline, medial being nearer to the midline than lateral. External (outer)
