(26 cards)
Indicate which cavities compose the dorsal body cavity
The cranial and spinal cavity
Which cavities compose the Ventral Body Cavity?
The Thoracic and Abdominal cavity.
Label the regions of the body
Label the indicated areas of the body
Label the areas of the body indicated
Identify the following cavities and structure indicated
Identify the 4 quadrants of the abdominopelvic cavity
Define the directional term “Superior”
Toward head of the body
e.g - hand part of super extremity
Define directional term “Inferior”
Away from head
eg. foot part of inferior extremity
Define directional term “Anterior”
Front
eg. kneecap is anterior side of the leg
Define direction term “Posterior”
Back
Eg. Shoulder blades located on posterior side of body
Define direction term “Medial”
Toward midline of body
Eg. Big toe located medial side of foot
Define direction term “lateral”
Away from midline of body
Eg. Little toe located on lateral side of foot
Define direction term “proximal”
Toward trunk or point of origin
Eg. Proximal end of femur joints with the pelvic bone
Define direction term “Distal”
Away from trunk or point of origin
Eg. Hand is distal end of the forearm
Define direction term “Coronal”
Vertical plane running side to side, divides body into into anterior and posterior parts
Define direction term “Sagittal”
Vertical plane running front to back, divides body into left and right sides
Define direction term “transverse”
Horizontal plane, divides body into upper and lower parts
Define direction term “midsagitall”
Runs through midline of body, divides body into left and right halves
Label diagram with directional terms
This is an imaging example of
Computed tomography
Describe CT and what it best for viewing
- Soft and dense tissue observable
- Best for viewing 3d reconstructions of a whole section
What imaging modality is this?
MRI - magnetic resonance imaging
Describe MRI and what it’s best for viewing?
- Soft tissue in high detail, with undefined bone/dense tissue
- Bets for viewing soft tissues within and around bone
