structures are always below other structures

46
Q

belly side

-“venter” Latin= belly

52
Q

proximal

A

- ex. knee is proximal to the toes, the wrist is proximal to the hand

53
Q

distal

A

56
Q

section

A

cut

57
Q

Plane

A

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
Q

Sagittal plane

A

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
Q

Frontal plane or coronal plane

A
  • the frontal plane is a longitudinal place that divides the body (or organ) into anterior and posterior parts
60
Q

Transverse plane

A
  • transverse runs horizontally, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts
  • organs- the sections are called cross sections
61
Q

body cavities

A

the axial portion of the body has 2 large cavities: dorsal, ventral

62
Q

Dorsal body cavity

A

-subdivided into cranial cavity and vertebral(spinal) cavity

63
Q

cranial cavity

A
  • the brain is enclosed within a rigid skull
64
Q

vertebral(spinal)

A
  • within which the delicate spinal cord is a continuation of the brain
65
Q

ventral body cavity

A

subdivisions: Thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cav, abdominal cav., pelvic cav.

66
Q

superior thoracic cavity

A
  • 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
Q

abdominopelvic cavity

A
  • cavity inferior to diaphragm
68
Q

abdominal cavity

A
  • area that houses the stomach, intestines, liver, etc.
69
Q

pelvic cavity

A

region that is partially enclosed by bony pelvis and contains reproductive organs, bladder and rectum

70
Q

serosa

serous membrane

A

-exceedingly thin, double layered membrane found in walls of ventral cav. and outer surfaces of organs

71
Q

parietal serosa

A

-part of the membrane lining the cavity walls

72
Q

visceral serosa

A

-covers the external surface of the organs within the cavity

73
Q

peritoneum

A

serosa lining the abdominal cavity

74
Q

pleura

A

serosa enclosing lungs

75
Q

pericardium

A

serosa around the heart

76
Q

quadrants

A

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
Q

abdominal surface and abdominopelvic cavity are separated into…

A

9 separate regions by four planes

78
Q

Umbilical region

A

the centermost region, includes the umbilicus

79
Q

Epigastric region

A

immediately superior to the umbilical region; overlies most of the stomach

80
Q

Hypogastric(pubic) regions

A

Immediately inferior to the umbilical region; encompasses the pubic area

81
Q

Iliac (inguinal) regions

A

Lateral to the hypogastric region and overlying the superior parts of the hip bones

82
Q

Lumbar regions

A

Between the ribs and the flaring portions of the hip bones; lateral to the umbilical region

83
Q

Hypochondriac regions

A

Flanking the epigastric region laterally and overlying the lower ribs

84
Q

oral cavity

A

the oral cavity, mouth, contains the tongue and teeth

85
Q

nasal cavity

A

Located within the posterior to the nose

86
Q

orbital cavity

A

the orbital cavities (orbits) in the skull house the eyes and present them in an anterior position

87
Q

middle ear cavities

A
  • 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
Q

Synovial cavities

A

-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
