regions, cavities......(2) Flashcards
small things all put together
what region is the top of the body? ( attached to the trunk by the cervical region)
cephalic
what region is the arms?
brachial
what region is the legs?
crural
area that covers most of the upper back
dorsum
the region over the vertebrae or back bones
vertebral
what regions would cover where a bikini suit bottom would cover?
anterior pelvic region & posterior gluteal region
private area
pubic region
on the anterior trunk what regions cover almost the entire trunk?
abdominal and thoracic region
cranial cavity
The major organ in the cranial cavity is the brain. The cranial cavity is a dorsal cavity.
spinal cavity
The spinal cord lies in the spinal cavity, and it is attached to the brain. The spinal cavity is a dorsal cavity.
thoracic cavity
The lungs and heart are the major organs in the thoracic cavity
mediastinum
the space between the lungs. The thoracic cavity is a ventral cavity.
abdominopelvic cavity
The abdominopelvic cavity is a ventral cavity. It is subdivided into the abdominal and the pelvic cavities. It is separated from the thoracic cavity by the diaphragm.
abdominal cavity
The digestive organs fill most of the abdominal cavity.
pelvic cavity
The pelvic cavity lies inferior to the abdominal cavity. The urinary and reproductive organs are the major organs in the pelvic cavity.
what are organs inside the ventral cavities considered?
viscera
cavities are lined with a membrane. what is it?
pleura
peritoneum
membranous sac that lines abdominal cavity and encases abdominopelvic organs; kidneys are exception because they lay outside peritoneum and alongside vertebral column
When the membrane lines a cavity, it is the parietal layer. What are the two options?
parietal pleura or the parietal peritoneum
When the membrane covers an organ, it is the visceral layer. What are the two options?
visceral pleura or the visceral peritoneum
in what cavity is the pleura divided? What are the divisions?
Thoracic; pleural cavity & pericardial cavity
hypochondriac regions
right and left regions below the ribs
lumbar regions
right and left regions at the waist
inguinal regions
most inferior right and left regions
epigastric regions
most superior medial region
umbilical region
central region around the belly button
hypogastric region
most inferior medial region
Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
Contains liver, gallbladder, and small and large intestines
Left upper quadrant (LUQ)
Contains stomach, pancreas, spleen, and the small and large intestines
Right lower quadrant (RLQ)
Contains small and large intestines, appendix, female ovary and uterus, and the bladder
Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)
Contains small and large intestines, female ovary and uterus, and the bladder

cephalic direction
moving toward the tailbone
caudal direction
the person faces the x-ray plate with his back to the x-ray machine. So, the rays enter the body posteriorly and exit the anterior body. What kind of X-ray is this?
posteroanterior x-ray (PA)
So, the rays enter the body anteriorly and exit the posteriorly body. What type of X-ray is this?
Anteroposterior (AP)
sublingual medication
a drug that is inserted into the mouth, under the tongue, and left there to dissolve. This provides rapid entry into the bloodstream
buccal medication
the medication is placed between the cheek and gums and left there to dissolve.
intradermal (ID)
(1) pertaining to within skin; (2) injection of medication into skin
subcutaneous (subq, subc)
(1) pertaining to under skin; (2) injection of medication under skin
intramuscular(IM)
injection of medication into muscle
intravenous(IV)
injection into veins; this route can be set up so that there is continuous administration of medication
intrathecal
(1) pertaining to within meninges; (2) injection into meninges space surrounding brain and spinal cord
intracavitary
injection into body cavity such as peritoneal and chest cavity
inhalation
Drugs are inhaled into the nose or mouth.
topical
Ointment, cream, or lotion is applied directly to the skin.
transdermal
Medication is absorbed through the skin from a patch.
vaginal
Tablets, cream, or suppositories are inserted to treat infections.
rectal
Suppositories or solution are used, especially if the patient cannot take the medication by mouth.
