CEBALLOS, Mary Kate L. (BSN 1-YA-18) - WEEK 2 LAB EXERCISE - Introduction To Human Anatomy and Physiology
EXERCISE NO .1
INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
GIO 1. To study the generalities regarding the study of Human Anatomy and
Physiology.
SIO:
1. Differentiate Human Anatomy from Human Physiology
➢ Human Anatomy is the study or investigation of the normal structure of
the human body. It also covers the relationship of these structures with
one another. Studying anatomy contains the different compositions of
body parts, their microscopic organization, and how they develop. All
the same, Human Physiology is the study of the different processes or
functions of the normal structures of the human body. Studying human
physiology helps in understanding and predicting the body's responses
to different stimuli.
a. Sagittal plane
➢ The sagittal plane divides the body lengthwise into right and left
sides. This plane does not exactly divide the body into two equal
parts.
b. Midsagittal plane
➢ The midsagittal is the same as the sagittal plane, wherein the
body is divided lengthwise into right and left sides. However, this
plane divides the body exactly in the midline producing two equal
proportions of right and left.
c. Coronal plane
➢ The coronal plane or also called the frontal plane divides the body
lengthwise into anterior and posterior parts.
d. Horizontal plane
➢ The horizontal plane or commonly known as the transverse plane
divides the body horizontally into upper (superior) and lower
(inferior) parts.
8. Discuss the following anatomical terms used for the different parts of the
body to describe their relations with one another.
