gross anatomy
divides the body into left and right halves
median (midsagittal) plane
divides body into anterior and posterior
frontal (coronal) plane
divides the body into inferior and superior halves
transverse plan
is subdivided into the cranial cavity and the vertebral (spinal) cavity
dorsal cavity
lies within the rigid skill and encases the brain
cranial cavity
runs through the the bony vertebrae columns to enclose the delicate spinal cord
vertebral cavity
is subdivided into the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity
ventral cavity
superior part of the ventral cavity, separated by the diaphragm, contains the heart and lungs that are protected by the rib cage
thoracic cavity
thoracic cavity contains the
heart and lungs
inferior part of the ventral cavity, containing the abdominal cavity which houses the stomach, intestines, liver, and other organs; also contains the pelvic cavity which is enclosed by the pelvis and contains the reproductive organs, bladder and rectum
abdominopelvic cavity
the abdominal cavity houses the
stomach, intestines, liver, other organs
the pelvic cavity houses the
pelvis, reproductive organs, bladdar and rectum
the cranial cavity contains the
skull and brain
vertebral cavity contains the
spinal cord
serosa lining the abdominal cavity and covering its organs is the
peritoneum
the serosa enclosing the lungs is the
pleura
the serosa around the heart is the
pericardium
