Anatomy Lab 1 Intro to Anatomy Flashcards
When the body is in the anatomical position faced down, the body is said to be in a ________ position.
Prone
What is the anatomical position? (General body position, head position, arm position, hand/palm position, leg position, foot/toe position)
Body erect, head forward, arms straight and to your sides, palms forward, legs straight, foot and toe forward.

Thoracis
Directional terms for towards the front of the body vs towards the back of the body
Anterior (ventral) is toward the front, Posterior (dorsal) is towards the back
Directional terms for towards the head vs towards the feet
Towards the head is superior, towards the feet is inferior
Directional terms for towards the median plane vs farther from the medial plane
Medial, lateral
Directional terms for towards the surface of the skin vs farther from the surface
Superficial, deep
Directional terms for sole of the foot vs top of the foot
Plantar, dorsal (foot)
Directional terms for palm of the hand vs back of the hand
Palmar is palm, and dorsal (hand) is back of hand
This serous membrane lines the anterior body cavities
Parietal membrane
This serous membrane covers organs within anterior body cavities
Visceral membrane
Directional term for towards the point of origin vs farther from point of origin
Proximal, distal
Name the four body planes and describe them
Saggital Plane (divides body into right and left sections, midsaggital means equal sections, parasaggital means unequal sections). Frontal (coronal) Plane (divides body into anterior and posterior). Transverse Plane (divides the body into superior and inferior). Oblique Plane (cuts horizontally like the transverse plane but at an angle so that there are superior or proximal/inferior or distal sections).
What are the 2 cavities within the dorsal (posterior) cavity? What organs do each of them house?
Cranial cavity (houses brain), spinal cavity (houses spinal cord).
The ventral (anterior) cavity is separated into 2 general cavities called the ________ & __________.
Thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity
Within the thoracic cavity, what are the 3 types of cavities and what organs are housed within them?
Pleural cavities (houses the lungs so there are two of these cavities), Mediastinum (houses the heart, trachea, esophagus), Pericardial cavity (just houses the heart)
Within the abdominopelvic cavity, what are the 2 types of cavities and what organs do they house?
Abdominal cavity (houses the liver, stomach, spleen), Pelvic cavity (houses the bladder, internal reproductive structures)
What is a serous membrane and what is its purpose?
A serous membrane is a continuous membranous sheet that secretes a small amount of serous fluid that acts to lubricate and protect the organs within the cavities.
Retroperitoneal refers to ___________.
the space located posterior and inferior to the peritoneal cavity
Give the specific membrane names:
Covering lungs, lining lungs, covering heart, lining heart, covering abdominal, lining abdominal
Visceral pleura, parietal pleura, visceral pericardium, parietal pericardium, visceral peritoneum, parietal peritoneum
