Q

Coronal Plane or Frontal Plane

A

A vertical plane running from side to side

50
Q

Sagittal Plane or Lateral Plane

A

A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.

51
Q

Axial Plane or Transverse Plane

A

A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts.

52
Q

Mid-sagittal plane

A

through the midline of the body

53
Q

Axial subdivision

A

Head
Neck
Torso, or trunk, and its subdivisions

54
Q

Appendicular subdivision

A

Upper extremity and subdivisions
Lower extremity and subdivisions

55
Q

Body Regions

A

Right Upper, Left Upper, Right Lower, and Left Lower Quadrants

56
Q

Thoracic cavity

A

The upper ventral, thoracic, or chest cavity contains the heart, lungs, trachea, esophagus, large blood vessels, and nerves. The thoracic cavity is bound laterally by the ribs (covered by costal pleura) and the diaphragm caudally (covered by diaphragmatic pleura).

57
Q

Abdominal cavity

A

The abdominal cavity contains most of the gastrointestinal tract as well as the kidneys and adrenal glands. The abdominal cavity is bound cranially by the diaphragm, laterally by the body wall, and caudally by the pelvic cavity

58
Q

Pelvic cavity

A

The pelvic cavity contains most of the urogenital system as well as the rectum. The pelvic cavity is bounded cranially by the abdominal cavity, dorsally by the sacrum, and laterally by the pelvis.

59
Q

Dorsal Cavity

A

The smaller of the two main cavities is called the dorsal cavity. As its name implies, it contains organs lying more posterior in the body. The dorsal cavity, again, can be divided into two portions. The upper portion, or the cranial cavity, houses the brain, and the lower portion, or vertebral canal houses the spinal cord.

60
Q

Metabolism

A

the chemical process of the body
