Module 1
INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY
I. Overview
Welcome to the first module of the course on General Anatomy. In this module, we will travel
back to your learnings in ANPHYD1. This module is diagnostic in nature wherein there will be a
self-assessment part on how well you understood anatomy and physiology during your first year
and how much do you still need to understand. The purpose of this is for you to be refreshed of
what you’ve already learned and at the same time this will give you a chance to be clarified of
areas that you do not still understand. This will serve as your foundation to get along with the
other modules.
Engage
This part should snag your interest, and offer the opportunity for you to share what you already
know about the topic. Try to make connections between your preexisting knowledge base and
the new ideas that will come down the pipeline in this lesson. Answer the pre-assessment.

After engage comes explore, in which you carry out hands-on activities. Through your
interactions with the adapted resource material, deepen your understanding of the content.
Individual Task. Read and understand chapter 1 of our adapted resource material. Then,
derive your answer to the following questions. Answer completely, do not use abbreviations.
You understand that searching from Google is easier but it will not help you develop higher
order thinking skills. The process of reading the adapted resource material will sharpen and
stimulate your thinking capability. Help yourself now or regret later – your choice!
1. What is anatomy?
Anatomy is the foundation of medical practice. Whether performing a physical
examination or employing the most recent imaging tools, anatomy guides the clinician
toward a better understanding of a patient's ailment. Anatomy is also essential for
dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and anyone else that works with patients
and starts with a clinical sign analysis. As a result, the capacity to accurately evaluate
a clinical observation is the pinnacle of anatomical knowledge.
5. Enumerate and describe briefly the three major groups of anatomical planes that
pass through the body in the anatomical position.
a. Coronal planes split the body into anterior and posterior sections and are
directed vertically.
b. Sagittal planes are vertically oriented but at right angles to coronal planes and
divide the body into right and left halves. A median sagittal plane is a plane
that runs through the center of the body, splitting it into equal right and left
halves.
8. What are the two other terms used to describe the position of structures in the body?
a. Superficial
b. Deep

organization and components will be discussed in the other chapters of the adapted
resource material?
a. Respiratory system
b. Digestive system
c. Urinary system
18. The vessel which is usually one per bone that directly enters the internal cavity of
the bone and supplies the marrow, spongy bone, and inner layers of compact bone.
Adjacent artery
20. A layer of cartilage that usually covers the articulating surfaces of the skeletal
elements. Hyaline cartilage
21. What are the two components of a joint capsule and their function?
a. Synovial joints are skeletal linkages in which the pieces involved are separated
by a narrow articular cavity
b. Solid joints are skeletal connections in which the neighboring surfaces are
connected together by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, most commonly
fibrocartilage.
22. What are the two components of a joint capsule and their function?
a. Synovial joints are skeletal linkages in which the pieces involved are separated
by a narrow articular cavity
b. Solid joints are skeletal connections in which the neighboring surfaces are
connected together by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, most commonly
fibrocartilage.
23. What are the additional structures within the area enclosed by the capsule or
synovial membrane and their function?
a. Articular discs absorb compression stresses, respond to changes in joint
surface shapes during motions, and extend the range of motion possible at
joints.
b. Fat pads are often found between the synovial membrane and the capsule and
move into and out of regions when joint shapes alter during movement.
c. Tendons are robust bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect muscle to
bone or muscle to muscle and are built to bear tension.
28. The skin is the largest organ of the body. It consists of the
a. epidermis
b. dermis
29. Fascia is connective tissue containing varying amounts of fat that separate, support,
and interconnect organs and structures, enable movement of one structure relative to
another, and allow the transit of vessels and nerves from one area to another. There
are two general categories:
a. Superficial fascia
b. Deep fascia
30. Give the three types of muscle tissue and their characteristics - whether they are
controlled voluntarily or involuntarily, whether they appear striated (striped) or
smooth, and whether they are associated with the body wall (somatic) or with organs
and blood vessels (visceral).
the heart
various structures
gastrointestinal,
respiratory,
genitourinary, and
urogenital systems.
31. What are the components of cardiovascular system and their function?
a. Heart- it pumps blood throughout the body
b. Blood vessels- closed network of tubes that transport the blood
34. Arteries are usually further subdivided into what three classes, according to the
variable amounts of smooth muscle and elastic fibers?
a. Large elastic arteries
b. Medium muscular arteries
c. Small arteries and arterioles
35. Veins are usually further subdivided into what three classes?
a. Large veins
b. Small and medium veins
c. Venules
37. It is a protein-coated lipid droplets, which are released from the epithelial cells and
enter the interstitial compartment. chylomicrons
39. The fluid in most lymphatic vessels is clear and colorless and is known as lymph
40. What is carried by lymphatic vessels from the small intestine that is opaque and
milky because of the presence of chylomicrons. chyle
43. Give the major lymphatic vessels that drain into large veins in the neck.
a. Right jugular trunk
b. Right subclavian trunk
c. Left jugular trunk

50. Give the connective tissue covering of the brain and spinal cord from external to
internal.
a. Dura mater
b. Arachnoid mater
c. Pia mater
51. Generally, all sensory information passes into the posterior aspect of the spinal
cord, and all motor fibers leave anteriorly.
52. A dermatome is that area of skin supplied by a single spinal cord level, or on one
side, by a single spinal nerve. Meanwhile, a myotome is that portion of a skeletal
muscle innervated by a single spinal cord level or, on one side, by a single spinal
nerve.
53. The visceral part of the nervous system, as in the somatic part, consists of motor
and sensory components. The visceral motor component is commonly referred to as
the autonomic division of the PNS and is subdivided into sympathetic and
parasympathetic parts.
For the Laboratory: Be familiar with the Chapter 1 figures given in our adapted resource
material. Go over the parts and locations. You may use other references for clarification and
will help you be adept of the given structures.
Explain
Elaborate
From there, you elaborate on your understanding, apply what you have learned to deepen
your skills. Please visit the given e-books. Answer the questions then check your answers on
the given key. Note the questions that you were not able to answer correctly and discover
why by going back to the lesson to be clarified.
Make sure you answer first before looking at the key answer or else you are defeating the
purpose to identify your strengths and weaknesses and target the areas that needs more
attention. You may go over all the exercises if needed. If you think you have already
mastered the topic, you may skip the other reference materials. Supposedly, the task will help
improve your learning.

Evaluate
In the final phase, evaluate, reflect on and provide evidence of your new understanding of the
material. Be ready with a summative assessment for both lecture and laboratory which will be
now graded to see how much you learned from the engage to elaborate activities. Schedule
will be announced, but usually it is given weekly and most probably last day of meeting in a
week.
