Chapter 01 : Introduction Divisions of Anatomy
History Of Anatomy 1. Egyptian Period
2. Greek Period 3. Roman Period (A.D.) a. Galen of Pergamum, Asia Minor (circa 130-200
A.D.)
4. Fourteenth Century 5. Fifteenth Century 6. Sixteenth Century 7. Seventeenth Century Other events of seventeenth century :- 9. Nineteenth Century Dissection by medical students was made compulsory in Edinburgh (1826) and Maryland (1833). Burke and Hare scandal of 16 murders took place in Edinburgh in 1828. Warburton Anatomy Act (1932) was passed in England under which the unclaimed bodies were made available for dissection . The ' A c t ' was passed in America (Massachusetts) in 1831. Formalin was used as a fixative in 1890s. Xrays were discovered by Roentgen in 1895. Various endoscopes were devised between 1819 and 1899. The anatomical societies were founded in Germany (1886), Britain (1887) and America (1888). The noted anatomists of this century include Ashley
Cooper (1768-1841;
British surgeon), Cuvier (17691832; French
naturalist), Meckel (17241774;
German anatomist), and Henry Gray (18271861; the
author of Gray's
Anatomy).
10. Twentieth Century The electron microscope was invented in 20th century. It was applied in clinical practice, which made startling changes in the study of normal and diseased conditions. Various modifications of electron microscope, transmission EM and SEM, etc. were devised. These helped in better understanding of the body tissues. Besides plain Xrays, in this century, ultrasonography and echocardiography were discovered. This was the noninvasive safeprocedure. Also computeraxial tomography or CT scan, a noninvasive procedure and magnetic resonance imaging were devised. These were extremely useful, sensitive means of understanding the dynamics of body structure in health and disease. Tissue culture was developed which was new and exciting field of research. New advances in cases of infertility were discovered,
which gave hopes
to some infertile couples. GIFT: Gamete Intrafallopian
Transfer got started
11. Twenty First Century Foetal medicine is emerging as a newer subject. Even treatment 'inutero' is being practised in some cases. Human genome is being prepared. New research in drugs for many diseases, especially
AIDS, is being done
very enthusiastically. There is also a strong
possibility of gene therapy.
Indian Anatomists Dr. Inderjit Dewan worked chiefly on osteology and anthropology. Dr. D.S. Choudhry did notable work on carotid body. Dr. H. Chaterjee and Dr. H. Verma researched on embryology. Dr. S.S. Dayal did good work in cancer biology. Dr. Shamer Singh and his team did pioneering work on teratology. Dr. Chaturvedi and Dr. C.D. Gupta's prominent work
was on corrosion
cast.
Dr. L.V. Chako, Dr. H.N. Keswani, Dr. Veena Bijlani, Dr. Gopinath, Dr. Shashi Wadhwa of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, researched on neuroanatomy. Dr. Keswani and his team established museum of history of medicine. Dr. A.K. Susheela of AIIMS, New Delhi, has done profound work on fluorosis. Dr. M.C. Vaidya was well known for his work on leprosy and HLA. Dr. I.B. Singh of Rohtak did enlightening studies on histology. He has been author of several books in anatomy. Dr. A.K. Dutta of West Bengal has authored many books on anatomy. Amongst the medical educationists are Dr. Sita Achaya, Dr. Ved Prakash, Dr. Basu, Dr. M. Kaul, Dr. Chandrama Anand, Dr. Indira Bahl, Dr. Rewa Choudhry, Dr. Smita Kakar, Dr. Anita Tuli, Dr. Shashi Raheja, Dr. Ram Prakash, Dr. Veena Bharihoke, Dr. Madhur Gupta, Dr. J.M. Kaul, Dr. Shipra Paul, Dr. Dharamnarayan, Dr. A.C. Das, Dr. A. Halim, Dr. D.R. Singh and many others. Dr. Swarna Bhardwaj, an educationist, was appointed as Executive Director of "DNB office" and has brought the institution to forefront. Dr. Harish Agarwal, an anatomist, worked in jurisprudence for a number of years. Dr. Cooper of Chennai, Dr. M. Thomas and Dr. Kiran Kucheria did commendable work on genetics. Dr. Mehdi Hasan and Dr. Nafis Ahmad Faruqi did pioneering research in neuroanatomy. ANATOMICAL NOMENCLATURE Galen (2nd century) wrote his book in Greek and Vesalius (16th century) did it in Latin. Most of the anatomical terms, therefore, are either in Greek or Latin. By 19th century about 30,000 anatomical terms were in use in the books and journals. In 1895, the German Anatomical Society held a meeting in Basle, and approved a list of about 5000 terms known as Basle Nomina Anatomica (BNA). The following six rules were laid down to be followed strictly: (1) Each part shall have only one name; (2) each term shall be in Latin; (3) each term shall be as short and simple as possible; (4) the terms shall be merely memory signs; the related terms shall be similar, e.g. femoral artery, femoral vein, and femoral nerve; and (6) the adjectives shall be arranged as opposites, e.g. major and minor, superior and inferior. BNA was revised in 1933 by a committee of the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland in a meeting held at Birmingham. The revised BNA was named as Birmingham Revision (BR). An independent revision of the BNA was also done by German anatomists in 1935, and was known as Jena Nomina Anatomica (JNA or INA). However, the BR and IN A found only local and restricted acceptance. In 1950, it was agreed at an International Congress of Anatomists held at Oxford that a further attempt should be made to establish a generally acceptable international nomenclature. In the Sixth International Congress of Anatomists held at Paris (1955), a somewhat conservative revision of BNA with many terms from BR and INA was approved. Minor revisions and corrections were made at the International Congresses held in New York (1960), and Wiesbaden, Germany (1965), and the 3rd edition of Nomina Anatomica (Ed. G.A.G. Mitchell, 1968) was published by the Excerpta Medica Foundation. The drafts on Nomina Histologica and Nomina
Embryologica prepared by
the subcommittee of the International Anatomical
Nomenclature Committee
(IANC) were approved in a plenary session of the
Eleventh International
Congress ofAnatomists held in Leningrad in 1970. After
a critical revision,
the 4th edition of Nomina Anatomica (Ed. Roger
Warwick, 1977) containing
Nomina Histologica and Nomina Embryologica was
published by the same publisher.

General
principles
Polarity
is
reflected mainly in the formal and functional
contrast between the head
(predominantly spherical form) and the extremities
(radially arranged skeletal
elements). In the phylogenetic development of the
upright position of the
human body, polarity developed also among the
extremities: The lower extremities
provide the basis for locomotion whereas the upper
extremities are not
needed anymore for locomotion, so they can be used
for gesture, manual
and artistic activities.
2.
The principle of segmentation: This principle
dominates in the trunk. The
anatomical structures (vertebrae, pairs of ribs,
muscles, and nerves) are
arranged segmentally and replicate rhythmically in a
similar way. 3.
The principle of bilateral symmetry: Both sides of
the body are separated
by a midsagittal plane and resemble each other like
image and mirror-image. Regional
