Lecture_2 [ANATOMY AND MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY] MSC. NABAA SALAH Directional term: In general, directional terms are grouped in pairs of opposites based on the standard anatomical position. Superior and Inferior. Superior means above, inferior means below. The elbow is superior (above) to the hand. The foot is inferior (below) to the knee. Anterior and Posterior. Anterior means toward the front (chest side) of the body, For example, the abdominal muscles are anterior to the spine. Ventral is similar to anterior; it means toward the abdomen. Posterior means toward the back, the spine is posterior to the abdominal muscles. The term dorsal has a similar meaning as posterior. Median, Medial and Lateral. Median: At the midline of the body. The nose is a median structure. Medial means toward the midline of the body, the big toe is medial to the little toe. Lateral means away from the midline, the little toe is lateral to the big toe. Proximal and Distal Proximal means closest to the point of origin or trunk of the body, the shoulder is proximal to the elbow. Distal means farthest away, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. Proximal and distal are often used when describing arms and legs. Superficial and Deep. Superficial means toward the body surface, the skin is superficial to the muscles. Page 1 Lecture_2 [ANATOMY AND MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY] MSC. NABAA SALAH Deep means farthest from the body surface, the abdominal muscles are deep to the skin. Other directional terms: . Intermediate – means between—your hearts is intermediate to your lungs. Caudal – at or near the tail or posterior end of the body. Cranial _ close to the top of the skull. Visceral – may be used instead of deep. Unilateral: On only one side of the body, like the stomach and liver. Bilateral: On both the left and right sides of the body, such as the eyes, the kidneys, and the arms and legs. Ipsilateral: On the same side of the body. For example, the right ear and the right eye are ipsilateral. Contra lateral: On opposite sides of the body. The right ear is contralateral to the left ear. Body planes: An anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the human body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements. In human and animal anatomy, three principal planes are used: Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane) This is a vertical plane that divides the body into equal right and left halves. Basically, we cut the person in a straight, vertical line from the head through the belly button and down to the toes. The Sagittal Plane, therefore, creates equal right and left halves of our body. Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane) Page 2 Lecture_2 [ANATOMY AND MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY] MSC. NABAA SALAH A vertical plane running from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions. Axial Plane (Transverse Plane) A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts. Page 3 Lecture_2 [ANATOMY AND MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY] MSC. NABAA SALAH Page 4 .

Reproductive System Reference Sheet 3: GLOSSARY Anus – The opening in the buttocks from which bowel movements come when a person goes to the bathroom. It is part of the digestive system; it gets rid of body wastes. Buttocks – The medical word for a person’s “bottom” or “rear end.” Cervix – The opening of the uterus into the vagina. Circumcision – An operation to remove the foreskin from the penis. Cowper’s Glands – Glands on either side of the urethra that make a discharge which lines the urethra when a man gets an erection, making it less acid-like to protect the sperm. Clitoris – The part of the female genitals that’s full of nerves and becomes erect. It has a glans and a shaft like the penis, but only its glans is on the out side of the body, and it’s much smaller. Discharge – Liquid. Urine and semen are kinds of discharge, but the word is usually used to describe either the normal wetness of the vagina or the abnormal wetness that may come from an infection in the penis or vagina. Duct – Tube, the fallopian tubes may be called oviducts, because they are the path for an ovum.

General Signs and Symptoms of Abdominal Diseases
General signs and symptoms of abdominal diseases Dr. Förhécz Zsolt Semmelweis University 3rd Department of Internal Medicine Faculty of Medicine, 3rd Year 2018/2019 1st Semester • For descriptive purposes, the abdomen is divided by imaginary lines crossing at the umbilicus, forming the right upper, right lower, left upper, and left lower quadrants. • Another system divides the abdomen into nine sections. Terms for three of them are commonly used: epigastric, umbilical, and hypogastric, or suprapubic Common or Concerning Symptoms • Indigestion or anorexia • Nausea, vomiting, or hematemesis • Abdominal pain • Dysphagia and/or odynophagia • Change in bowel function • Constipation or diarrhea • Jaundice “How is your appetite?” • Anorexia, nausea, vomiting in many gastrointestinal disorders; and – also in pregnancy, – diabetic ketoacidosis, – adrenal insufficiency, – hypercalcemia, – uremia, – liver disease, – emotional states, – adverse drug reactions – Induced but without nausea in anorexia/ bulimia. • Anorexia is a loss or lack of appetite. • Some patients may not actually vomit but raise esophageal or gastric contents in the absence of nausea or retching, called regurgitation. – in esophageal narrowing from stricture or cancer; also with incompetent gastroesophageal sphincter • Ask about any vomitus or regurgitated material and inspect it yourself if possible!!!! – What color is it? – What does the vomitus smell like? – How much has there been? – Ask specifically if it contains any blood and try to determine how much? • Fecal odor – in small bowel obstruction – or gastrocolic fistula • Gastric juice is clear or mucoid. Small amounts of yellowish or greenish bile are common and have no special significance. • Brownish or blackish vomitus with a “coffee- grounds” appearance suggests blood altered by gastric acid.

O’Connor, UK Philippe Peetrons, Belgium Monique Reijnierse, The Netherlands Philipp Remplik, Germany Enzo Silvestri, Italy Elbow Note The systematic scanning technique described below is only theoretical, considering the fact that the examination of the elbow is, for the most, focused to one quadrant only of the joint based on clinical findings. 1 ANTERIOR ELBOW For examination of the anterior elbow, the patient is seated facing the examiner with the elbow in an extension position over the table. The patient is asked to extend the elbow and supinate the fore- arm. A slight bending of the patient’s body toward the examined side makes full supination and as- sessment of the anterior compartment easier. Full elbow extension can be obtained by placing a pillow under the joint. Transverse US images are first obtained by sweeping the probe from approximately 5cm above to 5cm below the trochlea-ulna joint, a Pr perpendicular to the humeral shaft. Cranial US images of the supracondylar region reveal the superficial biceps and the deep brachialis mu- Br scles. Alongside and medial to these muscles, follow the brachial artery and the median nerve: * the nerve lies medially to the artery. * Legend: a, brachial artery; arrow, median nerve; arrowheads, distal biceps tendon; asterisks, articular cartilage of the Humerus humeral trochlea; Br, brachialis muscle; Pr, pronator muscle 2 distal biceps tendon: technique The distal biceps tendon is examined while keeping the patient’s forearm in maximal supination to bring the tendon insertion on the radial tuberosity into view.

Hand, Elbow, Wrist Pain
Physical and Sports Therapy Hand, Elbow, Wrist Pain The hand is a wondrously complex structure of tiny bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons which work together to perform tasks. The wrist and elbow are stabilizing joints that support the steady use of the hand and provide attachment points for the muscles that control the hand and wrist. All three of these areas are prone to injury from overuse or trauma. Their complexity requires the skills of an expert for proper rehabilitation from injury. Some Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Issues Include: Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow: Tendonitis, or inflammation of the tendons, at the muscular attachments near the elbow. Symptoms typically include tenderness on the sides of the elbow, which increase with use of the wrist and hand, such as shaking hands or picking up a gallon of milk. Tendonitis responds well to therapy, using eccentric exercise, stretching, and various manual therapy techniques. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the Median Nerve at the hand/base of your wrist. Symptoms include pain, numbness, and tingling of the first three fingers. The condition is well-known for waking people at night. Research supports the use of therapy, particularly in the early phase, for alleviation of the compression through stretching and activity modification. Research indicates that the longer symptoms are present before initiating treatment, the worse the outcome for therapy and surgical intervention due to underlying physiological changes of the nerve. What can Physical or Occupational therapy do for Hand, Wrist, or Elbow pain? Hand, wrist, and elbow injuries are commonly caused by trauma, such as a fall or overuse.

Stretching and Positioning Regime for Upper Limb
Information for patients and visitors Stretching and Positioning Regime for Upper Limb Physiotherapy Department This leaflet has been designed to remind you of the exercises you Community & Therapy Services have been taught, the correct techniques and who to contact with any queries. For more information about our Trust and the services we provide please visit our website: www.nlg.nhs.uk Information for patients and visitors Muscle Tone Muscle tone is an unconscious low level contraction of your muscles while they are at rest. The purpose of this is to keep your muscles primed and ready to generate movement. Several neurological causes may change a person’s muscle tone to increase or decrease resulting in a lack of movement. Over time, a lack of movement can cause stiffness, pain, and spasticity. In severe cases this may also lead to contractures. Spasticity Spasticity can be defined as a tightening or stiffness of the muscle due to increased muscle tone. It can interfere with normal functioning. It can also greatly increase fatigue. However, exercise, properly done, is vital in managing spasticity. The following tips may prove helpful: • Avoid positions that make the spasticity worse • Daily stretching of muscles to their full length will help to manage the tightness of spasticity, and allow for optimal movement • Moving a tight muscle to a new position may result in an increase in spasticity. If this happens, allow a few minutes for the muscles to relax • When exercising, try to keep head straight • Sudden changes in spasticity may

ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY AND PERITONEUM Dr. Milton M. Sholley SUGGESTED READING: Essential Clinical Anatomy 3 rd ed. (ECA): pp. 118 and 135141 Grant's Atlas Figures listed at the end of this syllabus. OBJECTIVES:Today's lectures are designed to explain the orientation of the abdominopelvic viscera, the peritoneal cavity, and the mesenteries. LECTURE OUTLINE PART 1 I. The abdominopelvic cavity contains the organs of the digestive system, except for the oral cavity, salivary glands, pharynx, and thoracic portion of the esophagus. It also contains major systemic blood vessels (aorta and inferior vena cava), parts of the urinary system, and parts of the reproductive system. A. The space within the abdominopelvic cavity is divided into two contiguous portions: 1. Abdominal portion that portion between the thoracic diaphragm and the pelvic brim a. The lower part of the abdominal portion is also known as the false pelvis, which is the part of the pelvis between the two iliac wings and above the pelvic brim. Sagittal section drawing Frontal section drawing 2. Pelvic portion that portion between the pelvic brim and the pelvic diaphragm a. The pelvic portion of the abdominopelvic cavity is also known as the true pelvis. B. Walls of the abdominopelvic cavity include: 1. The thoracic diaphragm (or just “diaphragm”) located superiorly and posterosuperiorly (recall the domeshape of the diaphragm) 2. The lower ribs located anterolaterally and posterolaterally 3. The posterior abdominal wall located posteriorly below the ribs and above the false pelvis and formed by the lumbar vertebrae along the posterior midline and by the quadratus lumborum and psoas major muscles on either side 4.
