34
Q

What is the anatomical position?

A
  • body is erect
  • eyes directed forward
  • palms are supine (facing forward)
  • feet are flat on the floor
35
Q

What is the dorsal cavity? It is divided into 2 smaller cavities; what are they?

A

The dorsal cavity holds the central nervous system.

The two smaller cavities are the cranial cavity and the vertebral cavity.

36
Q

What is the ventral cavity? It has three smaller cavities and two more subcavities within one; what are they?

A

The ventral cavity holds most of the other body organs.

The three cavities are thoracic cavity (pleural and pericardial within), abdominal cavity, and pelvic cavity.

37
Q

What is in the cranial cavity?

A

Brain, eyes

38
Q

What is in the vertebral cavity?

A

Spine

39
Q

What is in the thoracic cavity?

A

Heart and lungs

40
Q

What is in the abdominal cavity?

A

Stomach, intestines

41
Q

What is in the pelvic cavity?

A

Reproductive organs

42
Q

What is in the buccal cavity?

A

Urethra, gall bladder

43
Q

What are the four quadrants of the abdomen?

A

Left upper quadrant, right upper quadrant, lower left quadrant, lower right quadrant

Note: these quadrants are from the perspective of the SUBJECT, not the reader, so they are swapped on paper–think theatre stage.

44
Q

What are the nine abdominopelvic regions? From right (theatre/subject perspective) to left by column?

A

Right hypochondriac region, Right lumbar region, Right inguinal region

Epigastric region, Umbilical region, Hypogastric region

Left hypochondriac region, Left lumbar region, Left inguinal region

45
Q

The abdominopelvic regions have four dividing lines. Name them and their positions.

A 
Subcoastal line (between hypochondriac regions and lumbar regions)
Intertubercular line (between lumbar regions and inguinal regions)
Midclavicular lines (2 lines between the three columns)
