1 General Anatomy 104750_S_001_018_Kap_1:_ 04.01.2010 12:55 Uhr Seite 1 1 1 General Anatomy Three general principles are recognizable in the architecture of the human organism: 1. The principle of polarity: Polarity is reflected mainly in the formal and functional contrast between the head (predominantly spherical form) and the extremities (radially arranged skeletal elements). In the phylogenetic development of the upright position of the human body, polarity developed also among the extremities: The lower extremities provide the basis for locomotion whereas the upper extremities are not needed anymore for locomotion, so they can be used for gesture, manual and artistic activities. 2. The principle of segmentation: This principle dominates in the trunk. The anatomical structures (vertebrae, pairs of ribs, muscles, and nerves) are arranged segmentally and replicate rhythmically in a similar way. 3. The principle of bilateral symmetry: Both sides of the body are separated by a midsagittal plane and resemble each other like image and mirror-image. There are also different principles in the architecture and function of the inner organs: The skull contains the brain and the sensory organs. They are arranged like mirror and mirror-image and are the basis of our consciousness. Horizontal section through the head at the level of the eyes. The thorax contains the organs of the rhythmic system (heart, lung), which are only to some extent bilaterally organized. The conscious- ness (feeling, etc.) is located in- between. In the abdominal cavity, the most important abdominal organs (intesti- nal tract, liver, pancreas) are arranged unpaired. Their functions remain subconscious.

  • Anatomy of the Axilla
    Anatomy of the Axilla Axilla(Arm pit) AXILLA • A pyramid-shaped space between the upper part of the arm and the side of the chest through which major neurovascular structures pass between neck & thorax and upper limbs. • Axilla has an apex, a base and four walls. Axilla is a space ▪4 Sided pyramid ▪Apex connected to the neck=Inlet ▪Base Arm pit= Outlet ▪Anterior wall ▪Posterior wall ▪Medial wall ▪Lateral wall Boundaries of the Axilla ▪ Apex: 1 C L ▪ Is directed upwards & A R medially to the root of I B the neck. V I ▪ It is called C LE • Cervicoaxillary canal. ▪ It is bounded, by 3 bones: • Clavicle anteriorly. • Upper border of the scapula posteriorly. • Outer border of the first rib medially. Base • Axillary fascia and Skin of the arm pit Anterior wall 1. Pectoralis major 2. Pectoralis minor 3. Subclavius muscles 4. Clavipectoral fascia Pectoralis Major provides movement and support in – the front of the shoulder. The muscle has two heads; the clavicular head originates from the more midline half of the clavicle, and the sternocostal head originates from the manubrium and sternum (chest bone). This muscle inserts into the lateral lip of the intertubercular sulcus on the humerus. When the two heads of the pectoralis major act together, they flex, adduct and medially rotate the arm at the glenohumeral joint. The pectoralis minor muscle is a small triangular – shaped muscle that lies deep to pectoralis major muscle and passes as three muscular slips from the thoracic wall (ribs III to V) to the coracoid process of the scapula.

As part of the effort to reduce the number of recognized synonyms, the Latin synonym peripheralis was removed. The older, more commonly used of the two neo-Latin words was retained. Radialis Radial Radial Ulnaris Ulnar Ulnar Fibularis Peroneus Fibular Fibular Peroneal As part of the effort to reduce the number of synonyms, peronealis and peroneal were removed. Because perone is not a recognized synonym of fibula, peronealis is not a good term to use for position or direction in the lower limb. Tibialis Tibial Tibial Palmaris Volaris Palmar Palmar Volar Volar is an older term that is not used for other references such as palmar arterial arches, palmaris longus and brevis, etc.

    G. KYALYAN R. PETROSYAN HUMAN ANATOMY Adapted course for foreign students Volume I The weight-bearing and locomotor system Yerevan 2000 INTRODUCTION THE SCIENCE OF HUMAN ANATOMY The science of human anatomy is the study of the form and structure of the human body (and the organs and systems which form it) and the regularities of the development of this structure in relation to its function and external environment. The study of anatomy previously dealt with a single problem: how the body is built. The object of the old descriptive anatomy was description of the structure of the body. In modern anatomy, however, description is a means rather than an end, one of the methods used the studying the human body structure. This method gives modern anatomy its descriptive aspect. Modern anatomy, however, attempts to explain not only how the organism is formed, but why it is so formed. To answer this second question, it is necessary to investigate both internal and external relationships of the organism. Anatomy, therefore, studies not only the structure of the modern adult human being, but investigates the human organism in its historical development. With this in mind, the following three points shut be considered. 1. The development of the human genus in relation to the evolutionary process of the lower life forms. This study is called phylogenesis (Gk. phylon genus, genesis development) and uses the data of comparative anatomy, which compares the structures of various animals and man. 2. The formation and development of the human being in relation to the development of society.
