INTRODUCTION This handbook contains much of the basic information about the bones, muscles, nerves, arteries, and veins of the body that is needed in a typical gross anatomy course. Such a course typically follows a regional approach, and so does the handbook. Within regions I have divided the material into small packets of information (a group of muscles; the pattern of arteries; etc.). I organize information visually, and so most packets consist of a drawing and some accompanying textual material, usually arranged on facing pages. I am often asked how one should study anatomy. I do not know how one should do it, I only know how I would study it. First I would divide up the material. In any particular region of the body the muscles can be divided into a number of groups, each containing a small number of muscles. Again I organize information visually so I usually have a drawing or an outline. I have already divided up the material for you. Then to study a group of muscles I would sketch them and label or note the origins, insertions, actions, and innervations. To study the pattern of arteries or nerves I would draw the pattern, name them, note the branching pattern, and where they go or what they do. All the drawings, in this handbook are simple enough that you can draw them. At first I might simply be copying my notes, but soon I would try to put the things down on paper from memory. If I could not remember some things, I would check my notes or look them up in the book, and try again until I had memorized the material and could put it down on a blank sheet of paper. If I can put it down on a blank piece of paper, I know I know it, and I know I can put it down on the test from memory. After having learned the muscles and the patterns of nerves and vessels, one other thing that I find helpful is to look over illustrations in anatomy texts and atlases and make sure you can understand them.

TERMS OF ORIENTATION ┌ Anterior - Toward the front, ventral. ┼ └ Posterior - Toward the back, dorsal. ┌ Dorsal - Pertaining to the back, therefore posterior. ┼ └ Ventral - Pertaining to the belly, therefore anterior. ┌ Superior - Higher than, situated above something else. ┼ └ Inferior - Lower than, situated below something else. Median - In the middle, referring to the midline of the body. ┌ Medial - Nearer to the midline of the body. ┼ └ Lateral - Farther to the side from midline of the body. ┌ Proximal - Nearest to the center of the body. ┼ └ Distal - Farthest from the center of the body. ┌ Superficial - At the surface. ┼ └ Deep - Below the surface.

TERMS OF MOVEMENT ┌ Extension - Movement that straightens a joint. ┼ └ Flexion - Movement that bends a joint. ┌ ABduction - Movement of a limb or the head away from the midline of the │ body, or in the case of digits away from the axis of the limb. ┼ └ Adduction - Movement of a limb or the head toward the midline of the body, or in the case of digits toward the axis of the limb. ┌ Protraction - Movement (often sliding) of a body part forward. ┼ └ Retraction - Movement (often sliding) that pulls a body part backward. ┌ Elevation - Movement that lifts a body part up. ┼ └ Depression - Movement that pushes a body part down. Rotation - Movement of a limb about its axis. Medial and lateral rotation move the front of the limb medially and laterally, respectively. Circumduction - Movement that combines two other movements to move a body part in circles. For example, swinging the upper extremity in a circle combines flexion, extension, adduction, and aBduction. Note: To avoid confusion it is advisable to say "ad-duct" and "a-bee-duct".

BASIC PRINCIPLES OSTEOLOGY - Osteological features include: Head - articular end of bone Condyle - rounded knob for articulation Process - bony prominence Tubercle - a small rounded process Tuberosity - a large rounded process Trochanter - another name for a tuberosity on femur Epicondyle - process above condyle for attachment of muscles and/or ligaments Crest - a ridge Foramen - a hole through a bone Fossa - a depression Sulcus - a groove for a nerve, blood vessel, or tendon MUSCLES Muscles can only pull! Tense - apply force without length change Contract - shorten in length to move body parts Muscles are usually named by conventions: Action - e.g., Adductor longus Form - Size - e.g., Adductor magnus Length - e.g., Adductor longus Shape - e.g., Deltoideus Location - e.g., Tibialis posterior Attachment - e.g., Pectineus Muscles have: 1 - Origin - The attachment of a muscle on the bone that is fixed, generally

the proximal end of the muscle. 2 - Insertion - The attachment of a muscle on the bone that is moved, generally

the distal end of the muscle. 3 - Action - What happens when the muscle contracts. The action is usually

described with a term of movement (e.g., flexion, extension, etc.) and the name of either the joint or the body part moved. Thus flex hip and flex thigh are equivalent.

4 - Innervation - Which nerve controls the muscle.

ARTERIES AND VEINS Arteries carry blood from the heart out to the body and veins return blood to the heart. The pattern of arteries and veins is described in the direction that blood flows. Large arteries branch into smaller arteries. Small veins join to become, or empty into, larger veins. Both are subject to topographic name changes, in which the name of a vessel changes after it has passed an anatomical landmark. Thus the External Iliac Artery becomes the Femoral Artery after passing under the Inguinal Ligament. Arteries and veins generally run together and have the same names. Therefore, if one learns the pattern of arteries one knows most veins as well. However, cutaneous veins do not accompany arteries. NERVES Nerves carry impulses from and to the brain. Nerves can be sensory, carrying impulses from receptors to the brain; motor, carrying impulses from the brain to muscles; or mixed, both sensory and motor. Nerves generally branch into smaller nerves, but small nerves can join to form a larger nerve. Nerves often run with arteries and veins, but the branching pattern of nerves usually differs from that of arteries and veins, and so the names of nerves usually differ from those of arteries and veins. VARIATIONS Variations on the pattern of structures presented in this handbook and most anatomy texts are common. Veins are particularly prone to variation, but nerves, arteries, and muscles also are variable. This will not be a problem in the lecture course because we will learn the "normal" pattern, but those in cadaver labs should be aware that variations occur and not be concerned by them.

C - Posterior tibial A. - passes down posterior crural compartment deep

to Soleus, passes behind medial malleolus, and splits into Medial and Lateral plantar Aa.

1 - Fibular A. - branches off Posterior tibial A. about 6 cm below

knee, and passes deep along fibula. 2 - Medial plantar A. - passes anteriorly toward base of metatarsal

I with Medial plantar N. 3 - Lateral plantar A. - passes anteriorly toward base of

metatarsal V with Lateral plantar N.
