Anatomy

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Anatomy.

  • Base of Skull — The load-bearing and perforated inferior boundary of the cranium that supports the brain, joins the cranial vault to the face and vertebral column, and organizes regulated passages between intracranial and extracranial regions.
  • Organ system — Recognize multiple anatomically distinct organs as one coordinated organism-level functional organization while allowing cross-system membership.
  • Temporal Fossa — The paired lateral-skull region bounded chiefly by the temporal lines and zygomatic arch, floored by frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones, roofed by temporal fascia, and occupied principally by temporalis and its deep neurovascular supply.
