EARLIEST study of the human body
GROSS ANATOMY
the study of PARTICULAR AREAS of the body
REGIONAL ANATOMY
study of ORGAN SYSTEMS
SYSTEMIC ANATOMY
responsible for the MAINTENANCE OF THE SPECIES
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
CLEANSES and RETURNS TISSUE FLUID to the cardiovascular system and assists the body in PROTECTING itself from FOREIGN ORGANISMS
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM (IMMUNE SYSTEM)
rids BODY WASTES PRODUCTS
URINARY SYSTEM
PROTECTIVE COVERING OF THE BODY
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
allowing us to INTERACT and INTERPRET our surroundings
NERVOUS SYSTEM
responsible for PROVIDING NUTRITION TO THE TISSUES
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
MOVES the body
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
produce HORMONES
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
takes OXYGEN to the body and releases CO2
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
one primarily of TRANSPORT
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
provides FRAMEWORK & mechanism for protection of the body
SKELETAL SYSTEM
11 ORGAN SYSTEMS
RUN MRS. LIDEC
when operating on a patient, the cut should always be on
the patient’s left side
the position where the body is UPRIGHT, facing forward, arms and legs straight, palms facing forward, feet flat on the ground, and eyes open
ANATOMICAL POSITION
regions closer to the MOUTH (digestive)
PROXIMAL
regions closer to the ANUS (digestive)
DISTAL
BODY WALL
PARIETAL
areas closer to the INTERNAL ORGANS
VISCERAL
visceral layer of the heart
VISCERAL PERICARDIUM
parietal layer of the heart
PARIETAL PERICARDIUM
visceral and parietal layers of the lungs
VISCERAL PLEURA
PARIETAL PLEURA
refers to being on the SAME SIDE of the body
IPSILATERAL
refers to being on the OPPOSITE SIDES of the body
CONTRALATERAL
refers to the BACK
DORSAL
refers to the BELLY SIDE
VENTRAL
toward the front, or head
ANTERIOR
other term for anterior
CEPHALIC
toward the rear or tail
POSTERIOR
other term for posterior
CAUDAL
a cut that divides the body or organ into SUPERIOR & INFERIOR parts
TRANSVERSE PLANE / HORIZONTAL PLANE
a cut that divides the body into ANTERIOR & POSTERIOR
FRONTAL / CORONAL PLANE
a cut that divides the body into LEFT & RIGHT
SAGITTAL PLANE

CAVITY
WHAT CAVITY:
brain
CRANIAL CAVITY
WHAT CAVITY:
tounge
ORAL CAVITY
WHAT CAVITY:
stomach
ABDOMINAL CAVITY
THREE VENTRAL CAVITIES
THORACIC
PELVIC
ABDOMINAL
located directly ABOVE the diaphragm
THORACIC CAVITY
thoracic cavity is divided into
MEDIASTINUM
PLEURAL
the region BETWEEN THE LUNGS; contains the heart, esophagus, & trachea
MEDIASTINUM
cavities on EACH SIDE of the mediastinum
PLEURAL CAVITY
located BELOW the diphragm
ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY
abdominopelvic cavity can be subdivided into
ABDOMINAL CAVITY
PELVIC CAVITY
contains the stomach, small intestine, most of the large intestine, and various digestive organs (liver & pancreas)
ABDOMINAL CAVITY
begins at the region of the HIPS & contains the LOWER PART of the large intestine and some of the reproductive organs (uterus & ovaries)
PELVIC CAVITY
the ventral cavities are lined with
SEROUS MEMBRANES
above
SUPERIOR
below
INFERIOR
toward the MIDLINE
MEDIAL
toward the SIDE
LATERAL
toward the SURFACE
SUPERFICIAL
toward the CORE
DEEP
to the FRONT
VENTRAL / ANTERIOR
to the BACK
DORSAL / POSTERIOR
for extremities, NEAR the TRUNK
PROXIMAL
for extremities, AWAY from the TRUNK
DISTAL
