LESSON 4 Flashcards
anatomical position of the body parts
anterior
posterior
dorsal
ventral
- Near to the head
Anterior
- Near to the tail
Posterior (Caudal)
- Near to the back
Dorsal
- Near to the belly
Ventral
different anatomical planes
sagittal plane
coronal plane
transverse plane
- anatomical plane that divides the body into left and right halves
Sagittal plane
anatomical plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions
Coronal plane -
- horizontal plane or axial plane, is an anatomical plane that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions
Transverse plane
Transverse plane - horizontal plane or axial plane, is an anatomical plane that divides the body into _______ and ________ portions
superior (upper)
inferior (lower)
______ - refer to the overall structural organization and arrangement of body parts
Body plans
3 different body plans
asymmetric body plan
radial symmetry body plan
bilateral symmetry body plan
Animals whose body does not follow specific pattern or symmetry
asymmetric body plan
Lack of any symmetry, where there is no way to divide the body into identical halves.
asymmetric body plan
Have body parts that are arranged around a central axis
radial symmetric body plan
Their body can be divided into similar halves by multiple planes that pass through their central axis
radial symmetric body plan
an organism can be divided into two mirror- image halves along a single plane, known as the sagittal plane
bilateral symmetric body plan
