Studying human anatomy

Human skeletal structure

Certain professions, especially medicine and physiotherapy, require the study of human anatomy in depth. Textbooks usually split the body into the following regional groups:

  • Head and Neck — includes everything above the thoracic inlet
  • Upper limb — includes the hand, forearm, arm, shoulder, axilla, pectoral region and scapular region.
  • Thorax — contains the region of the chest from the thoracic inlet to the thoracic diaphragm.
  • Abdomen — everything from the thoracic diaphragm to the pelvic brim or to the pelvic inlet.
  • The back — about the spine and its components, the intervertebral disks and bodies
  • Pelvis and Perineum — the pelvis consists of everything from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic diaphragm. The perineum is the region between the genital area and the anus.
  • Lower limb — the lower limb is usually everything below the inguinal ligament, including the thigh, the hip joint, the leg, and the foot.
