topographical anatomy
organization of the human body as
major parts or segments
Head
Neck
Trunk
thorax, abdomen, back, & pelvis/perineum
Upper limbs & lower limbs
Anterior aspect of the leg
Dorsal body cavity
Ventral body cavity
Head & neck
Upper limb
Thorax
Abdomen
Back
Pelvis & Perineum
Lower limb
Neurocranium
Skeleton of the face
transitional area between the head and the trunk
joins the head to the trunk and limbs
major conduit for structures passing between them.
several important organs with unique functions located here
shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand
Shoulder
area of upper limb attachment to trunk
Arm
between shoulder & elbow joint
Forearm
between elbow joint & wrist joint
Hand
distal to the wrist joint
proximal segment of the limb
overlaps parts of the trunk (thorax and back) and lower lateral neck
area of transition between the neck and the arm
irregularly shaped pyramidal space
Arm
first segment of the free upper limb
between shoulder & elbow
1 bone
Forearm
second longest segment of the limb
between elbow & wrist (L. carpus)
2 bones
Hand
L. manus
part of the upper limb distal to the forearm
Wrist
Palm
Dorsum of hand
Digits (fingers)
between the neck and abdomen
.
forms the osteocartilaginous thoracic cage
protects the thoracic viscera and some abdominal organs.
12 pairs of ribs & associated costal cartilages
12 thoracic vertebrae & intervertebral discs
Sternum
between thorax & pelvis (pelvic inlet)
organs of the alimentary
system and part of the
urogenital system
Containment of the
abdominal organs and their
contents
provided by
musculoaponeurotic walls
anterolaterally, diaphragm
superiorly, muscles of the
pelvis inferiorly
posterior aspect of the body
provides the musculoskeletal axis of support for the trunk.
Bony elements
mainly vertebrae
+ proximal elements of the ribs
+ superior aspects of the pelvic bones
+ posterior basal regions of the skull
spinal cord and proximal parts of the spinal nerves
send and receive information to and from most of the body.
from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic diaphragm
part of the trunk inferoposterior to abdomen
area of transition between trunk & lower limbs
pelvic cavity
inferiormost part of the abdominopelvic cavity
between the sex organs and the anus
Right hip bone
(coxal bones; pelvic bones)
Left hip bone
Sacrum
Coccyx (tailbone)
Gluteal region
between the iliac crest and the fold of skin (gluteal fold)
Thigh
Knee
Leg
Ankle
Foot
transitional region between the trunk and free lower limbs
between gluteal, abdominal, and perineal regions proximally
knee region distally
1 bone
transitional area between the thigh and the leg
posterior region of the knee (L. poples)
popliteal fossa
Leg region
between knee joint & ankle joint
2 bones
Ankle region
(L. tarsus)
talocrural region (L. regio talocruralis)
Foot
(L. pes) or foot region (L. regio pedis)
distal part of the lower limb
