Introduction and Survey of the Human body

• Anatomy history – how we got here• How we study the human body today• Anatomical position and directions

A few questions before we begin

1. Who were the first anatomists?

2. When was the microscope invented?

3. When was radiography invented? How did it change medicine?

4. Is malleus the same as malleolus?

5. Can someone live a normal, healthy life with their heart on the right side?

How to study the human body

• Inspection

• Palpation

• Auscultation

• Percussion

• Dissection

• Exploratory surgery

• Medical imaging
