Anatomy: Terms, Fascia, and Movements

The document provides an overview of anatomical terms, body positions, planes, and descriptions of muscle structures. It details various types of body tissues, including epithelial and connective tissues, as well as the classifications of fascia: superficial, deep, and visceral. Each fascia type has distinct functions and characteristics related to the support and organization of muscles and organs within the body.

ANATOMICAL TERMS
DESCRIBING THE MUSCLES
 Origin: The relatively fixed end of muscle during
natural movements of the muscle
 Insertion: The relatively mobile end of the muscle
during natural movements of the muscle
 Belly: The fleshy part of the muscle which is
contractile in function
 Tendon: The fibrous and non-contractile part of
the muscle which attaches muscle to the bone.
 Aponeurosis: It is a flattened tendon arising from
the connective tissues around the muscle.
THE BODY TISSUES
1. Epithelial tissues
 that lines or cover structures. it is either:
 One layer (Simple)
 Multiple layer (Transitional or stratified
2. Connective tissues
 Smooth CT;

 Cartilagenous CT: two types: White


fibrocartilage and Yellow fibrocartilage
 Bony CT: two types Compact bone and
Spongy bone

Body fascia
 A fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue,
primarily collagen, beneath the skin that
attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates
muscles and other internal organs. Fascia is
classified by layer, as
 1. superficial fascia
 2. deep fascia, 3. visceral or parietal fascia
SUPERFICIAL FASCIA

 Superficial fascia is the lowermost layer of the


skin in nearly all of the regions of the body.
 It consists mainly of loose areolar and fatty
adipose connective tissue
 Surrounds organs and glands,
neurovascular bundles,
 It serves as a storage medium of fat and water;
Superficial fascia is present, but does not contain
fat, in the eyelid, ear, scrotum, penis and clitoris.
DEEP FASCIA

Deep fascia is a layer of dense


fibrous connective tissue which surrounds
individual muscles, and also divide groups of
muscles into fascial compartments.
This fascia has a high density of elastin fiber
. Deep fascia was originally considered to be
avascular. Deep fascia is also richly supplied
with sensory receptors.
VISCERAL FASCIA

 Visceral fascia (also called subserous fascia)


suspends the organs within their cavities and
wraps them in layers of connective
tissue membranes. Each of the organs is covered
in a double layer of fascia:
 The outermost wall is known as the parietal layer
 The innermost of the organ is known as
the visceral layer.
