Human Anatomy - Wikipedia Outline of human anatomy - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_human_anatomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to human anatomy: Human anatomy – scientific study of the morphology of the adult human. It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision. Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes, and includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues), and cytology (the study of cells). 1 Essence of human anatomy 2 Branches of human anatomy 3 Anatomy of the human body 3.1 General anatomy 3.2 Bones 3.3 Joints 3.4 Muscles 3.5 Alimentary system 3.6 Respiratory system 3.7 Thoracic cavity 3.8 Urinary system 3.9 Genital systems 3.10 Abdominopelvic cavity 3.11 Endocrine glands The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, by Rembrandt; depicts an 3.12 Cardiovascular system anatomy demonstration using a cadaver. 3.13 Lymphoid system 3.14 Nervous system 3.15 Sense organs 3.16 The integument 4 History of human anatomy 5 Organizations 6 Anatomists 7 See also 8 External links Main article: Human anatomy Human body 1 of 43 1/7/2017 11:26 AM Outline of human anatomy - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_human_anatomy Gross anatomy Microscopic anatomy Cytology Histology The following list of human anatomical structures is based on the Terminologia Anatomica, the international standard for anatomical nomenclature.

  • Using Nutrient Foramina to Differentiate Human from Non-Human Long Bone Fragments in Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology
    Using nutrient foramina to differentiate human from non-human long bone fragments in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology Brigida Corrieria and Nicholas Márquez-Granta* Cranfield Forensic Institute, Cranfield University, Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, Shrivenham SN6 8LA, United Kingdom Abbreviated title: Human/nonhuman bone differentiation using nutrient foramina Corresponding author: Nicholas Márquez-Grant, PhD, [email protected], tel. +44 (0) 1793 314466 ABSTRACT Long bone shaft fragments can be found isolated in archaeological and forensic contexts, such as in mass fatality incidents. When diagnostic morphological landmarks are not visible, the assessment of a human or non-human origin of a bone fragment can be challenging. Further methods need to be developed. In long bones, the presence of a nutrient foramen on fragments that do not show any diagnostic landmarks can make the assessment of the origin of the bone still possible. In this paper, human long bones were compared to those of the following species: chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), duck (Cairina moschata), sheep (Ovis aries), pig (Sus scrofa domesticus), and deer (fallow deer, Dama dama, and roe deer, Capreolus capreolus). Macroscopic evaluation of location, direction and appearance, and micro-CT scanning in order to measure angle and shape of canal entrance, were applied in this study to differentiate human from non-human nutrient foramina on long bone shafts. Observations regarding the location and direction of nutrient foramina were proven to be different between human and non-human bones; however, these two features might not be exploitable in cases of highly fragmented bones. The foramina appearance was the most reliable for the origin identification, although the shape of the canal entrance and its angle at the cortical bone, obtained 1 from micro-CT scans, were also useful parameters.

ISSN 2321-4287 Original Research Article DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.16965/ijar.2017.197 AN OSTEOLOGICAL STUDY OF NUTRIENT FORAMINA IN RADIUS AND ULNA WITH ITS EMBRYOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Spatika Ashwini 1, Prathap Kumar.J *2, Shailaja Shetty 3. 1 Intern, Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. *2 Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. 3 Professor & HOD, Department of Anatomy, Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. ABSTRACT Background: The knowledge of variations of the position nutrient foramina and hence nutrient arteries is important for the orthopedicians and radiologists for various procedures. The incidence of normal position of nutrient foramina and nutrient artery in the shaft of long bone is 99%. Aims and Objectives: Nutrient artery provides the main source of blood supply to the long bones in the human body. The nutrient artery enters the shaft of the long bones, through a foramen termed ‘nutrient foramen’. The nutrient artery passing through the nutrient foramen plays a pivotal role in the growth and development of the long bones. The presence, position, number, direction and distances from the various landmarks on the bone have clinical significance. The present study was done on the radius and ulna of South Indian population to know the number, position of nutrient foramina and to discuss the embryological basis and clinical significance of the variations. Materials and Methods: The present study consists of forearm bones: 69 radii and 84 ulnae which were taken from Department of Anatomy, Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore, India and studied keenly for the number, position, direction and distance of nutrient foramina in relation to length and from the proximal epiphysis of the long bones were noted with osteometric board and digital vernier calipers and also the direction of nutrient foramina were noted with a probe.

    International Journal of Current Research and Review Research Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31782/IJCRR.2019.11154 A Study on the Anatomical Variations in Diaphyseal Nutrient Foramina of IJCRR Section: Healthcare Sci. Journal Impact Humerus and its Clinical Implications Factor: 5.385 (2017) ICV: 71.54 (2015) Chintala Durga Sukumar Associate Professor, Department of Anatomy, Nimra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ibrahimpatnam, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. ABSTRACT Aim: The study is aimed to determine number, location and direction of nutrient foramen, to assess whether nutrient foramen obeys rule of ossification, that is directed away from the growing end of the bone or not. Methodology: The study constituted n = 122 (68 right, 54 left) humeri collected from the Department of Anatomy, Nimra Insti- tute of Medical Sciences, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. All the measurements were taken using standard anthropometric techniques. Results: Number, direction and location of nutrient foramen in relation with surfaces and zones of humeri were determined. Majority 79.51% of the humeri had single nutrient foramen, 13.93% double, 3.28% triple, whereas 3.28% humeri no nutrient foramina. Majority 85.24% of the nutrient foramina were located on antero-medial surface, followed by 10.65% on posterior surface and 6.56% on anterolateral surface of shaft of the humerus. In majority 85.24% of bones foramina were present in zone II, followed by zone I (9.02%), then zone III (5.74%). All foramina were found to be directed towards the lower end of humeri. Conclusion: The results confirm that the knowledge of the number and position of the nutrient foramina in humerus would be very useful in providing clinical information in preventing intra-operative injury of nutrient artery during orthopedic surgeries and will be relevant as reference for surgical procedures.

Therefore, data regarding distribution of nutrient foramina is crucial to obtain a vascularized bone graft and to avoid damaging blood supply of a bone. Present study focuses on morphological details of nutrient foramina of ulna in South Indian population. Material and Methods: Present study was conducted on 200 dry, adult ulnae bones, irrespective of age and sex. Bones were obtained from department of Anatomy, Apollo Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Hyderabad. Laterality of bones was determined. Location and number of nutrient foramina on diaphysis was noted. Total length of the bone and distance of nutrient foramina from proximal end of bone were recorded. Foraminal index of all bones was calculated using Hughes formula. Statistical analysis of data was done applying descriptive statistics. Results: All bones had at least one nutrient foramen, directed to the proximal end of bone.
