Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

32.1K
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...

Anatomical Terminology01:20

Anatomical Terminology

24.5K
Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Skeletal Muscle Anatomy

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant type of muscle in the body. Tendons are the connective tissue that attaches skeletal muscle to bones. Skeletal muscles pull on tendons, which in turn pull on bones to carry out voluntary movements.

Gross Anatomy of Bone01:17

Gross Anatomy of Bone

8.6K
The two main features of a long bone are the diaphysis and the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.2K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Anatomical Positions01:11

Anatomical Positions

18.0K
In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomy Pedagogy

Background:

  • The medical education system is transitioning to competency-based models.
  • Anatomy classrooms are adopting innovative teaching strategies like team-based and flipped classroom models.
  • This study builds on prior research linking anatomy-based learning to student engagement and academic performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of anatomy-based learning, a flipped classroom model, on student academic performance.
  • To investigate the relationship between anatomy-based learning and student engagement.
  • To compare anatomy-based learning with traditional teaching methods in anatomy.

Main Methods:

  • A sequential mixed-methods design was utilized.
  • Quantitative data included student scores, gender, and stream.
  • Qualitative data involved thematic analysis of observations from anatomy laboratories.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in aggregate or final scores between anatomy-based learning and traditional streams.
  • Students in anatomy-based learning spent more time on task.
  • Anatomy-based learning students exhibited more self-directed and multimodal learning.

Conclusions:

  • While quantitative academic performance showed no significant difference, the flipped classroom model shows potential for enhanced student engagement.
  • Anatomy-based learning can foster individual preparation, team-based learning, and consensus-based learning.
  • Further research may explore optimizing flipped classroom models in anatomy education.
