• Modern Anatomy Dates in Time

  -First idealized and explored in the 16th century
  -credit: Andreas Vesalivs

• Methods of Studying Anatomy

  -INSPECTION: surface appearance
  -PALPATION: "hands on"     "palpating swollen lymph node"
  -AUSCULTATION: listening, natural sounds made by the body
  -PERCUSSION: "taps"   check for abnormal resistance by listening to emitted sounds for abnormalities (pockets of fluid, air, scar tissue)   
  -DISSECTION: cut, separate tissues, reveals relationships between tissues

• Positron Emission Tomography (PET scan)

  -assesses the metabolic state of tissue to distinguish which tissues are most active at a given moment
  -inject radioactively labeled glucose, emitting positrons
  -shows extent of tissue death from a heart attack
  -dead tissue absorbs no glucose so appears dark in image

• Male Reproductive System

  -principle organs: testes, epididymides, spermatic ducts, seminal vesicles, prostate glands, penis
  -production and delivery of sperm, secretion of sex hormones

• Female Reproductive System

  -principle organs: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, mammary glands
  -production of eggs, site of fertilization and fetal development, fetal nourishment, brith, lactation, secretion of sex hormones

• Locations of Abdominal Structures

  -Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ):
  -Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)
  -Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ): 
  -Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ):

• Terms of Dividing Planes for Abdominus

  -midclavicular line: Runs superior and inferior the hypochondriac, lumbar, and inguinal region (runs through midpoint of clavical)
  -subcoastal line: runs medial and lateral directly beneath the epigastric region (connects inferior borders of the lowest costal cartilages)
  -intertubicular line: runs medial and lateral directly superior the hypogastric region (passes from left to right betwen the tubercles of the hip bones)

• Squamous Cell Shape

  -thin, flat, scaly shape, often with a bulge where the nucleus is, like a fried egg "sunny side up"
  -line the esophagus
  -form surface layer (epidermis) of the skin

• Cuboidal Cell Shape

  -squarish-looking in frontal tissue sections 
  -about equal in height and width
  -liver cells good example

• Columnar Cell Shape

  -distinctly taller than wide
  -inner lining cells of the stomach and intestines
