Overview of Anatomy and Physiology01:24

Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

34.6K
Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body's structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. The word "anatomy" comes from a Greek root that means "to cut apart." Human anatomy was first studied by observing the body's exterior and the wounds of soldiers and other injuries. Later, physicians were allowed to...

Anatomy of the Heart01:27

Anatomy of the Heart

119.4K
The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

Tooth Anatomy

2.1K
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The human digestive system is an intricate and essential network for nutrient absorption and waste elimination. It encompasses the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and several accessory organs.
Here's a detailed walkthrough of this complex system:

Anatomy of the Eyeball01:20

Anatomy of the Eyeball

9.5K
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

Anatomy of Chloroplasts01:07

Anatomy of Chloroplasts

119.1K
Green algae and plants, including green stems and unripe fruit, harbor chloroplasts—the vital organelles where photosynthesis takes place. In plants, the highest density of chloroplasts is found in the mesophyll cells of leaves.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The maxillary sinus is vital for multiple surgical and medical specialties.
  • A comprehensive review of its physiology, development, and imaging anatomy is necessary.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current literature on maxillary sinus physiology, development, and imaging anatomy.
  • To emphasize recent advancements and their clinical implications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies from 2000-2019, with emphasis on the last 5 years.
  • Focus on sinonasal cavity physiology, paranasal sinus development, and maxillary sinus imaging anatomy.

Main Results:

  • Recent imaging research offers new insights into maxillary sinus and midface development.
  • Mucociliary clearance is fundamental to sinus health, with paranasal sinuses forming part of a common mucosal airway.
  • Understanding neurovascular relationships and anatomical variants is critical for diagnosing sinusitis (rhinogenic and odontogenic) and managing surgical complications.

Conclusions:

  • Multimodality imaging is essential for reporting maxillary sinus and midface anatomy.
  • Radiologists require a strong grasp of the sinus's development, physiology, and anatomical relationships.
