Musculoskeletal system
Muscles, bones, joints
Skin & sense organs (system)
Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, eye, ear, nose, and tongue
Cranial cavity
Brain, pituitary gland
Thoracic cavity
Lungs, heart, esophagus, trachea, bronchial tubes, thymus gland, aorta
Abdominal cavity
Peritoneum, kidneys, stomach, intestines, spleen, pancreas, liver, gallbladder
Pelvic cavity
Portions of the small and large intestines, rectum, urinary bladder, urethra, ureters, uterus, vagina
Spinal cavity
Nerves of the spinal cord
Cervical vertebrae
Neck region. C1-C7
Thoracic vertebrae
Chest region. T1-T12
Lumbar vertebrae
Loin (waist) or flank region (between the ribs and the hipbone). L1-L5
Sacral vertebrae
S1-S5 fused to form the sacrum
Coccygeal vertebrae
The coccyx is a small bone composed of four fused pieces
Anterior (ventral)
Front side of the body.
Posterior (dorsal)
The back side of the body.
Deep
Away from the surface
Superficial
On the surface
Proximal
Near the point of attachment to the trunk or near the beginning of a structure
Distal
Far from the point of attachment to the trunk or far from the beginning of a structure
Inferior
Below another structure.
Superior
Above another structure
Medial
Pertaining to the middle, or closer to the medial plane of the body
Lateral
Pertaining to the side
Supine
Lying on the back
Prone
Lying on the belly.
Frontal plane (coronal)
Vertical plane diving the body or structure into anterior and posterior portions. A common chest x-Ray view is a PA (posteroanterior- viewed from back to front) view, which is in the frontal plane.
Sagittal plane (lateral)
Lengthwise vertical plane dividing the body or structure into right and left sides. The mods agitate plane divides the body into right and left halves. A lateral chest x-Ray film is taken in the Sagittal plane.
Transverse plane (axial)
Horizontal plane running across the body parallel to the ground. The cross-sectional plane divides the body or structure into upper and lower portions. A CT scan is one of a series of x-Ray pictures taken in the transverse plane.
