Humoral‚ Anatomical and Germ Theories of Disease: The influence on today’s health and wellness. In humoral theory‚ individual diseases did not exist how we see them today. It was thought that if one of the four humors was out of balance‚ it would result in disease. The four humors are black bile‚ yellow bile‚ blood and phlegm. The basic theory was that the imbalance of one of these four humors was the root cause of all disease. Anatomical theory of disease is one that fights against the humoral

I am also going to look at the historical significance of these theories and how they apply to health and wellness in today’s health care. The humoral theory comes from an ancient Greek theory that states that the human body is composed of four basic humors. The Humoral theory is derived from the word “humor‚” but in this context‚ means “fluid”. The Humoral theory is related

The kidneys are two of the most important anatomical structures in the human body because of their role in removing excess water and waste that has accumulated as a normal by-product of metabolic activity. A healthy pair of kidneys does an effective job of filtering molecules from the bloodstream that are no longer useful to the body while preventing the escape of particles that the body can still use. It accomplishes this feat through the use of a specialized membrane that is strategically placed

created standardized body directional terms and split the body into distinct regions and sections so that we can more clearly and rapidly locate and discuss anatomical features. There are many terms used to differentiate the positions of the body. A scientist developed the terms used to describe anatomical position. The anatomical position is a human standing straight‚ facing forward with their feet parallel‚ and arms hanging down at the side‚ and palms facing forward. There are three

Anatomical structure affects movement ability in the hip by the single non jointed structure of the pelvis. The pelvis rotates all three planes of movement. One movement is the rotating of the femur so that the acetabulum is positioned toward the direction of approaching femoral movement. Another is the posterior pelvic tilt‚ when the anterior superior iliac spine is tilted backward‚ it position the head of the femur in front of the hipbone to enable flexion. Lastly‚ anterior pelvic tilt enables

Lab 1 Anatomical Orientation Name ____ For humans‚ anatomical terms are always referenced to an individual standing in what is known as the standard anatomical position. Thus‚ for such an individual‚ the sagittal (median) plane divides the body or an organ into left and right sides while a transverse (horizontal) plane divides the body or organ into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions‚ and a frontal (coronal) plane divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior sides.

Anatomical Terms Certain terms are used to describe the location of body parts‚ regions of the body‚ and imaginary planes by which the body can be sectioned. You should become familiar with these terms before your study of anatomy and physiology begins. Anatomical terms are useful only if everyone has in mind the same position of the body and is using the same reference points. Therefore‚ we will assume that the body is in the anatomical position: standing erect‚ with face forward‚ arms at the sides
