92
Anatomical position
-standing upright
-legs together, feet forward
-arms at the side, palms forward, fingers extended
-eyes straight ahead
93
Frontal plane
-divides body into anterior and posterior portions
94
Sagittal plane
-divides the body into right and left portions
-midsagital (runs down the midline)
95
Transverse plane
-Divides the body into upper and lower portions
96
Deep vs. Superficial
Deep- further below the surface
Superficial - nearer to the surface
97
Prone vs. Supine
Prone- lie face down
Supine - lie face up

106
Which two cavities make up the Dorsal cavity ?
Cranial and spinal
107
Which two cavities make up the ventral cavity?
Thoracic and abdominopelvic
108
Cranial cavity
-Lies inside the skull and contains the brain
-brain is protected by the meninges
109
Spinal cavity
-Formed by a canal through the vertebrae and contains the spinal cord
-the spinal cord is protected by meninges
110
Thoracic cavity
-enclosed by the Ribs and separated from the abdominopelvic cavity by the diaphragm
Contains 3 regions
-Mediastinum (is central and contains heart, trachea, esophagus, aorta, and thymus gland)
-2 pleural cavities that are lateral and each contain a lung
111
Abdominopelvic cavity
Contains two regions
-abdominal cavity (contains stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, small intestine, and most of the large intestine)
-pelvic cavity (contains urinary structures, reproductive structures, and last part of large intestine)
112
Two methods for dividing the abdominopelvic cavity
-clinical divisions (4 parts)
-anatomical divisions (9 parts)
113
Clinical divisions (4 parts)
-RUQ
-RLQ
-LLQ
-LUQ
114
Clinical divisions: exceptions
-bladder, rectum, prostate, and uterus are all midline
115
Anatomical divisions (9 parts)
-Right hypochondriac region
-epigastric region
-left hypochondriac region
-right lumbar region
-umbilical region
-left lumbar region
-right Iliac (inguinal) region
-hypogastric region
-left Iliac (inguinal) region
116
Two types of edema
Pitting
-leaves an indentation when you press on it
-fluid around a cell
Brawny
-the cell itself swells up
-hard as a rock
