vertebral
spinal column
coronal plane
divides the body into front & back
sagittal plane
divides the body into left & right (unequal)
median plane
divides the body into equal left & right halves (same as the sagittal plane)
transverse plane
the line that divides the body into superior & inferior sections
dorsal body cavity
contains the cranial cavity & spinal column
vertebral body cavity
contains the spinal cord
cranial body cavity
contains the brain
ventral body cavity
contains all the structures within the chest & abdomen
thoracic body cavity
contains heart & lungs
abdominal body cavity
contains digestive organs
pelvic body cavity
contains reproductive organs, bladder, rectum
abdomino-pelvic cavity
contains abdominal & pelvic cavities

ends of long bone, contain spongy bone & red bone marrow
diaphysis
the shaft of a long bone
yellow bone marrow
stores fat, located in the diaphysis
red bone marrow
produces blood cells, is in epiphysis
spongy bone
soft bone that makes bone less dense
compact (hard) bone
dense bone located on the exterior gives protection to bone

within a joint (contains cartilage)
extra-articular
located or situated outside of a joint (no cartilage)
