Anatomy Flashcards
What are the four anatomic planes?
1) Median
2) Sagittal
3) Coronal, Frontal
4) Transverse, Cross
Which plane divides the head and torso into right and left halves?
The median plane. It is characterised by the sectioned midline of the vertebral column and spinal cord. The median plane is the middle sagittal plane.
Which plane is a longitudinal plane dividing the head and torso into left and right parts (not halves)?
The sagittal plane, which is parallel to the median (not medial) plane.
Which plane is a longitudinal plane dividing the body or its parts into front and back halves or parts?
The coronal / frontal plane.
Which plane divides the body into upper and lower halves or parts (cross sections)?
The transverse / cross plane. It may be horizontal planes of the upright body.
What are the 12 systems of the body?
1) skeletal articular
2) muscular
3) cardiovascular
4) lymphatic
5) nervous
6) endocrine
7) integumentary
8) Respiratory
9) Digestive
10) Urinary
11) Immune / Lymphoid
12) Female reproductive / Male Reproductive
