Learn the basics of human anatomy, including key anatomical terms, joint classifications, tissue structures, embryology, and imaging techniques.
A joint is an articulation between two bones in the body and are broadly classified by the tissue which connects the bones. The three main types of joints are: synovial, cartilaginous and fibrous . Fibrous joints have fibrous tissue joining the bone and these joints are typically very strong.
As part of the bony thorax, the ribs protect the internal thoracic organs. They also have a role in ventilation; moving during chest expansion to enable lung inflation. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the ribs – their bony landmarks, articulations and clinical correlations. Fig 1.
The vertebral column (also known as the backbone or the spine), is a column of approximately 33 small bones, called vertebrae. The column runs from the cranium to the apex of the coccyx, on the posterior aspect of the body. It contains and protects the spinal cord.
This comprehensive guide details the anatomy of the neck, including the cervical spine, larynx, thyroid & lymphatics. Learn more about human anatomy here.
The liver is a peritoneal organ positioned in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. It is the largest visceral structure in the abdominal cavity, and the largest gland in the human body.
It contains a large amount of lymphoid tissue but is not thought to have any vital functions in the human body. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the appendix – its anatomical structure and relations, neurovascular supply and lymphatic drainage.
It is a ball and socket-type synovial joint, and one of the most mobile joints in the human body. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the shoulder joint – its structure, blood supply, and clinical correlations.
