Introduction
Ⅰ. Definition of Anatomy
Anatomy is a important fasic medical course which deals with the morphology, structure andfunction of human body. Though the primary concern of anatomy is the morphology and structure of the body, and structure and function should always be considered together.
Ⅱ. Classification of Anatomy
1. Gross Anatomy: Systemic Anatomy, Surface Anatomy, and Regional Anatomy.
2. Comparative Anatomy: deals with structure and function related man and animals.
3. Development Anatomy: Study the development of the body from the fertilized age to the maturity.
4. Microscopic and Electro-microscopic Anatomy: Some structure of the body is observed by the microscopy and TEM.
Ⅲ. Anatomical Terms
1. Anatomical position
Body is standing erect .
Face and eyes are directed forward .
Hands are by both sides with palms directed forwards .
Feet are pointed forwards so that the hells and greater toes together .
2. The terms
Anterior------front or belly side
Posterior------back side
Superior------upper part
Inferior------lower part
Lateral------farther midline
Medial------nearer midline
External------outer side of body wall or body cavity
Internal------inner side of body wall
Superficial------nearer body surface
Deep------farther body surface
Proximal------nearer source or attachement of a structure
Distal------farther source
3. Axes and Planes
Sagittal axis: from the anterior to the posterior.
Sagittal plane: divides the body into left and right parts.
Median plane: a sagittal plane which passes through the body and divides it equal.
Coronal axis: from the left to the right, vertical to the sagittal axis.
Coronal plane: divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
Vertical axis: from superior to inferior, vertical to the sagittal and coronal axis.
Transverse plane: divides body into the superior and inferior parts, at the right angle to both the sagittal and coronal plane.
PARTⅠTHE LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM
The locomotor system includes the bones, articulations and skeleton muscles.
Chapter 1 Osteology
Section 1 Introduction
Bones in adult are 206 in number, which are divided into 3 parts: the bones of the skull, trunk and extremities.
Ⅰ. The General Morphology and Classification of Bones
1. Long bones: a shaft and two ends; tuber-like; medullary cavity; mutrient foramen.
2. Short bones: for example, carpal and tarsal bones.
3. Flat bones: broad and flat, for example, ribs, sternum, scapulae, and many bones of the skull .
4. Irregular bones: varied in shape, include many of the cranial bones, vertebrae, hip bones and so on .
Ⅱ. The Structure of bones: Living bones consist of bony substance, periesteum and bony marrow, and with abundant blood vessels and nerves.
1) Bony substance: compact bone and cancellous bone.
2) Bony periesteum: outer layer or fibrous membrane and inner layer or vascular membrane.
3) Bony marrow: red and yellow marrow in different age .

Section 4 The Bones of the Limbs
The appendicular skeleton include the bones of the upper and lower limbs.
Ⅰ. Bones of the Upper Limb includes shoulder girdle and bones of the freely movable upper limb.
Ⅰ） The Should Cirdle It consist of the scapula and clavicle.
1. The clavicle It is S-shaped, and joins the trunk with the upper limb. The rounded medial end, termed sternal end, termed sternal end, joint the manubrium by sternoclavicular joint. The flattened lateral (or acromial) end articulates with the scapula.
2. The scapula which is a triangular flat bone situated on the thorax. It has three borders, the meadial, lateral and superior borders; Three angles: the superior, inferior and lateral; and two surfaces: the anterior or costal and the posterior or dorsal surfaces. There is a notch on the superior border, termed scapular notch, lateral to this, a thick bent coracoid process projects forward. The lateral angle of the scapula is a thickened one, which has a concave articular surface, the glenoid cavity. There two tubercles above and below the cavity, termed the supraglenoid and infraglenoid tubercles. The inferior angle is lower end of scapula, at the level of the seventh rib, which is a landmark in the back for determination of the order of the ribs. The costal surface is concave know as subscapular fossa. The spine of scapula is a triangular crest on the dorsal surface. The supraspinus fossa and infraspinus fossa are above and below the spine. The acromin is a triangular bony plate, which has an oval small focet for articulation with the clavicle.
