Overview of Anatomy and Physiology01:24

Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

29.5K
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...

Skeletal Muscle Anatomy00:55

Skeletal Muscle Anatomy

90.4K
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 Bone

7.5K
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...

Gross Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles

16.2K
The connective tissues play a significant role in arranging the muscle fibers into a hierarchical structure that forms a complete muscle. Consider a muscle like the bicep brachii, commonly called the bicep. This muscle comprises thousands of muscle fibers enclosed by a protective layer of connective tissue called the endomysium. The endomysium is primarily composed of reticular fibers, a type of thin collagen fiber. It allows the exchange of nutrients and waste products at the fiber level,...

Anatomy of the Intestines

84.3K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Anatomical Terminology01:20

Anatomical Terminology

22.9K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pathology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Student-centered learning benefits from integrating anatomy into pathology curricula.
  • This study evaluates the impact of vertically integrated anatomy in pathology education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of a vertically integrated anatomy and pathology curriculum on student learning.
  • To determine if this integrated approach improves performance in pathology and anatomy knowledge retention.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 232 learners received a vertically integrated pathology curriculum.
  • Pre- and post-course test data were collected to evaluate learning outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Learners demonstrated significantly improved post-course performance compared to a control group (P < 0.05).
  • Significant gains were observed in pathology case problem-solving abilities (P < 0.05).
  • Enhanced retention of anatomy concepts was noted (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Vertically integrating anatomy within pathology instruction is an effective educational strategy.
  • This approach positively impacts both clinical pathology skills and foundational anatomy knowledge.
