Topic: Superficial anatomy


  
 Anatomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pathological anatomy (or morbid anatomy) is the study of diseased organs, while sections of normal anatomy, applied to various purposes, receive special names such as medical, surgical, gynaecological, artistic and superficial anatomy.
From a utilitarian point of view the study of humans is the most important division of special anatomy, and this human anatomy may be approached from different points of view.
So intricate is the human body that only a small number of professional human anatomists, after years of patient observation, are complete masters of all its details; most of them specialize on certain parts, such as the brain or viscera, contenting themselves with a good working knowledge of the rest.

The objects of the study of superficial anatomy are to show, first, the form and proportions of the human body and, second, the surface landmarks which correspond to deeper structures hidden from view.

Medially, it may reach into the pterygopalatine space, and an extension lies superficial to the temporalis muscle and its tendon separated from the superficial fat pad by the deeper layer of temporal fascia.
Another function of anatomy is to define terms that are understood by all so that communication about surgical techniques, outcomes, and ideas can be universal.
The malar fat pad (see Image 9) lies superficial to the SMAS and overlies the orbicularis oculi, zygomatici, and levator muscles.

 More Facts and Fallacies: Diagnostic Ultrasound and the Musculoskeletal Practitioner
Many refereed journals have references to normal superficial anatomy of soft tissues in the adult back.2,3,4,5,12,13,68,72 There is ample clinical and empirical evidence showing superficial paraspinal soft tissue structures in normal and injured states.
The sonographer will eventually be able to scan and even interpret (though not in their scope of practice) the images and those of the physicians ordering the studies, just as they have in all other areas of DUS medicine.
Thus, if the physics of DUS, pathophysiology, and especially the detailed anatomy and cross-sectional anatomy are understood, with diligent study a physician can learn to scan musculoskeletal areas proficiently and eventually be able to understand the changes associated with injury and pathology.

 The WeeklyPress@Philly1.Com -- "A Graphic Viewpoint" - Medical Illustrations of Frank H. Netter, MD -- 05/11/05 -- ...
It is possible that one of the first representations of human anatomy was in 15,000 BC when a human hand was painted on a wall of the Lascaux caves in France.
Considered without equal in the field of 20th century medical illustration and anatomy art, Dr. Frank H. Netter created designs that can be found on the walls of doctor's offices and in medical textbooks throughout the world; his Atlas of Human Anatomy is that most widely used by medical professionals.
But you don't have to be a medical student or practitioner to be engaged by the exhibit of Dr. Netter's original illustrations, currently on display through July 21st at the University of Sciences in Philadelphia.
