What is this?
Standard Anatomical Position
The erect position of the body with the face directed forward, the arms at the side, and the palms of the hands facing forward, used as a reference in describing the relation of body parts to one another.
Which menengie is F?
Dura mater
Transverse Plane
Divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.
Deep
Inside the body/organ
Distal
Away from the heart; for extremities
Pleural cavity
Which menengie is C?
Pia mater
Medial
Toward the midline
Dorsal
Back
Which cavity is #3?
Vertebral (spinal) cavity
Body Cavities
Dorsal (back): cranial and vertebral
Ventral (front): thoracic, abdominopelvic, abdominal, and pelvic
Parietal pleura
The parietal pleura is the outer membrane which is attached to the inner surface of the thoracic cavity.
Which cavity is #7?
Pelvic cavity
Which cavity is #6?
Abdominal cavity
Sagittal plane
Divides the body into right and left halves.
Coronal Plane
Divides the body into dorsal and ventral parts.
Ipsilateral
Same side
Which cavity is #2?
Cranial Cavity
Which cavity is #7?
Pelvic cavity

Posterior
Rear
Lateral
Away from the midline
Visceral
Inner
Proximal
Toward the heart; for extremities
What’s the mediastinum?
a membranous partition between two body cavities or two parts of an organ, especially that between the lungs.
Ventral
Belly
Contralateral
Opposite sides
Pericardium
membrane enclosing the heart, consisting of an outer fibrous layer and an inner double layer of serous membrane (parietal then visceral).
Where is the pericardial cavity?
Between the lungs
Cortex
Outside of organ (usually refers to kidneys)
Anterior

Which menengie is E?
Arachnoid mater
Superior
Above
Which organ is #5?
Diaphragm
Which cavity is #4?
Thoracic cavity
Visceral pleura
The visceral pleura is the delicate serous membrane that covers the surface of each lung
Parietal
Membrane lining the cavities; outer
Which cavity is #1?
Dorsal Cavity
Which cavity is composed of #6 & 7?
Abdominopelvic cavity
Which cavity is composed of #4-7?
Ventral cavity
Three anatomical planes
Sagittal (medial), tranverse (horizontal), coronal (frontal)
Superficial
Toward outside of the body/organ
Mesentaries
a fold of the peritoneum that attaches the stomach, small intestine, pancreas, spleen, and other organs to the posterior wall of the abdomen. Suspends the viscera.
Medulla
Inside of organ (usually refers to kidneys)
