                Did you know St. Valentine is also the patron saint of plague?(patron of epilepsy and love)
Today’s Lecture
                History
                                Human anatomy
                Terms
                                Anatomical position, planes, motion, naming bones, naming muscles
Human Anatomy, Vivisection, and…lovesickness
                Erasistratus(3rd century BC) Stratonice, and Antiochus
                Didn’t practice before or after Erasistratus.
                Dissection alive and dead with Aristotle.  Lots of poets, mathmatitions, and physicians

                Lovesickness was a legitimate disease in antiquity.  A disease of the soul, to cure it distract them to calm the soul. 
Anatomical Description of the Skeleton
                Galen (2nd century AD)

                                Gr. Skeletos (dried out)
                                A capite ad calcem(from the head to the heel)(they would talk about the skull, then go all the way down to the neck, arms, and body)
The Skeleton
                Axial skeleton(the head ribs and spinal cord) Hyoid bone is part of the axial skeleton REMEMBER
                Appendicular Skeleton (extremities, illium and ischium part of the appendicular REMEMBER)
Body Planes
Sagittal plane (cut right down the center) (pertaining to the arrow, right through the middle)

Is Vitruvian Man depicting a plane of motion?
                Yes, Coronal, signifies proportion, called vitruvian man because the roman architect, this is based on his study of the proportion of a human being, felt that nature was the model of architecture, because it does nothing in vain it does everything right.  Wrote down the ideal proportions of man. A perfect ear is 1/3 the length of the head.  If you extend both arms out on a perfect person the height and the length of the arms are equal.

                Atlas is the bone that is at the top of your cervical column, atlas holds up the pillar of the sky who is a titan and is holding it because of punishment.
                Atlas is holding up the sky, in a circle because the sky rotated around the earth, which is why the constellations’ rotated but in sync with the seasons. If atlas dropped the colmn the sky would fall on the earth
