44
Superior
-above
| structures that appear above other structures
45
Inferior
-below
| structures are always below other structures
46
medial
- toward the midline
| ex. nose is medial to cheekbones
47
lateral
away from the midline or median plane
| -ex. thumb is lateral to ring finger
48
cranial
-toward the head
49
caudal
toward the tail
50
dorsal
backside
| -"dorsum" Latin= back
51
ventral
belly side
| -"venter" Latin= belly
52
proximal
- nearer the trunk or attached end
| - ex. knee is proximal to the toes, the wrist is proximal to the hand
53
distal
- -attached end/farther from the trunk or point of attachment
- ex. fingers are distal to elbow
54
superficial(external)
- toward or at the body surface
| ex. skin is superficial too the skeleton muscles
55
deep (internal)
- -away from the body surface
| - ex. lungs are deep to the rib cage
56
section
cut
57
Plane
imaginary line or surface made through body wall or through an organ
-3 planes that lie at right angles to one another:
Saggital, Frontal, Transverse
58
Sagittal plane
a plane that runs longitudinally and divides body into right and left parts is referred to as a sagitall plane
- right down the middle of the body
59
Frontal plane or coronal plane
- the frontal plane is a longitudinal place that divides the body (or organ) into anterior and posterior parts
60
Transverse plane
- transverse runs horizontally, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts
- organs- the sections are called cross sections
61
body cavities
the axial portion of the body has 2 large cavities: dorsal, ventral
62
Dorsal body cavity
-subdivided into cranial cavity and vertebral(spinal) cavity
63
cranial cavity
- the brain is enclosed within a rigid skull
64
vertebral(spinal)
- within which the delicate spinal cord is a continuation of the brain
65
ventral body cavity
subdivisions: Thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cav, abdominal cav., pelvic cav.
66
superior thoracic cavity
- separated from the rest of ventral cav. by the dome-shaped diaphragm
- heart in lungs are in thoracic cav. are protected by bony rib cage
67
abdominopelvic cavity
- cavity inferior to diaphragm
68
abdominal cavity
- area that houses the stomach, intestines, liver, etc.
69
pelvic cavity
region that is partially enclosed by bony pelvis and contains reproductive organs, bladder and rectum
70
serosa
| serous membrane
-exceedingly thin, double layered membrane found in walls of ventral cav. and outer surfaces of organs
71
parietal serosa
-part of the membrane lining the cavity walls
72
visceral serosa
-covers the external surface of the organs within the cavity
73
peritoneum
serosa lining the abdominal cavity
74
pleura
serosa enclosing lungs
75
pericardium
serosa around the heart
76
quadrants
4 equal regions that divide the abdominal surface and abdominopelvic cavity deep
- right upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, left upper quad, left lower quad
77
abdominal surface and abdominopelvic cavity are separated into...
9 separate regions by four planes
78
Umbilical region
the centermost region, includes the umbilicus
79
Epigastric region
immediately superior to the umbilical region; overlies most of the stomach
80
Hypogastric(pubic) regions
Immediately inferior to the umbilical region; encompasses the pubic area
81
Iliac (inguinal) regions
Lateral to the hypogastric region and overlying the superior parts of the hip bones
82
Lumbar regions
Between the ribs and the flaring portions of the hip bones; lateral to the umbilical region
83
Hypochondriac regions
Flanking the epigastric region laterally and overlying the lower ribs
84
oral cavity
the oral cavity, mouth, contains the tongue and teeth
85
nasal cavity
Located within the posterior to the nose
86
orbital cavity
the orbital cavities (orbits) in the skull house the eyes and present them in an anterior position
87
middle ear cavities
- each middle ear cavity lies just medial to an eardrum and is carved into the bony skull
- contains tiny bones that transmit sound vibrations to the organ of hearing in the inner ears
88
Synovial cavities
-Synovial cav.s are joint cav.s- they are enclosed within fibrous capsules that surround the freely movable joints of the body, such as those between the vertebrae and the knee and hip joints
