26
Q

Anatomical Position

A

The reference point of a standard body position

27
Q

What 2 regional terms can the body be divided into?

A

The axial (makes up the axis of the body and includes head, neck, and trunk) and the appendicular (appendages or limbs that are attached to the axis of the body as well as the pelvic and pectoral girdles) parts

28
Q

What planes can the body be divided into?

A

Sagittal (cut in half head to toe) , Frontal (front of body) , and Transverse (cute in half at waist)

29
Q

What are the two sets of body cavities?

A

Dorsal and ventral cavities

30
Q

Dorsal cavity

A

-protects the nervous system organs
-includes the cranial (sits in the skull and houses the brain) and spinal cavities (runs within the bony vertebral column and spinal cavities are continuous with each other)

31
Q

Ventral cavity

A

-anterior and the larger of the two cavities
-includes the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity
-houses the visceral organs

32
Q

Thoracic cavity

A

-protected by the ribs and muscles found within the chest
-divided into the lateral pleural cavities (lung and pericardial cavity which surrounds the heart)

33
Q

what divides the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity?

A

the diaphragm

34
Q

Addominopelvic cavity

A

-consists of abdominal cavity(superior) and pelvic cavity

35
Q

What organs can be found in the abdominal cavity?

A

stomach, intestines, spleen, and liver

36
Q

What organs make up the pelvic cavity?

A

bladder, reproductive organs, and the rectum

37
Q

What covers the walls of the ventral body cavity as well as the outer surface of the organs?

A

serosa, a serous membrane

38
Q

pleurisy

A

inflammation of the pleurae that is caused by the sticking of organs as they slide past one another due to the serous membranes being inflamed

39
Q

synovial cavities

A

joint cavities that are enclosed within fibrous capsules that surround freely movable joints of the body

40
Q

middle ear cavities

located in the skull and lie medial to the eardrums
