17
Q

A sagittal plane where it divides the body into unequal right and left sides

A

Parasagittal or Longitudinal Section

18
Q

It is the plane that divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion. It is often referred to as Coronal Plane (“Corona” is Latin for “Crown”)

A

Frontal Plane

19
Q

It is the plane that divides the body or organ horizontally into upper and lower portions. It also produce images referred to as cross sections.

A

Transverse Plane

20
Q

These cavities contain and protect delicate internal organs, and the ventral cavity allows for significant changes in the size and shape of the organs as they perform their functions. The Lungs, heart, stomach and intestines, for example, can expand and contract without distorting other tissues or disrupting the activity of nearby organs.
It maintains it’s internal organization by means of membranes, sheaths, and other structures that separate compartments

A

Body Cavities

21
Q

What are the 2 largest body compartments

A 
Dorsal Cavity
Ventral Cavity (more larger)
22
Q

How many quadrants are there in abdomen and What are those?

A 
4 Quadrants:
Right Upper Quadrant
Left Upper Quadrant
Right Lower Quadrant
Left Lower Quadrant
23
Q

How many Divisions does our Abdomen have?

And what are those

A 
9 Divisions:
Right Hypochondriac Region
Epigastric Region
Left Hypochondriac Region
Right Lumbar Region
Umbilical Region
Left Lumbar Region
Right Iliac Region
Hypogastric Region
Left Hypochondriac Region
24
Q

It is the area beneath the hypogastric region at the bottom of the pelvic cavity and is sometimes considered to be a tenth division in this system

A

Perineum

25
Q

It is a cavity where the anterior portion of the dorsal cavity consisting of the space inside the skull. This cavity contains the brain, the meninges of the brain, and cerebrospinal fluid.

A

Cranial Cavity

26
Q

It is a cavity where the posterior portion of the dorsal cavity and contains the structures within the vertebral column. These include the spinal cord, and the fluid-filled spaces between then. This is also the most narrow of all body cavities, sometimes describe as “Threadlike”

A

Vertebral Cavity

27
Q

It is a cavity where the interior space in the front of the body, contains many different organ systems. It has anterior and posterior portions divided by the diaphragm, a sheet of skeletal muscle found beneath the lungs

A

Ventral Cavity

28
Q

The organs within the ventral cavity are also called

A

Viscera

29
Q

It is a large dome-shaped muscle that contracts rhythmically and continually, and most of the time involuntarily.

A

Diaphragm

30
Q

It is a cavity where it is the anterior ventral cavity found within the rib cage in the torso. It houses the primary organs of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, such as the heart and lungs but also includes organs from other systems, such as the esophagus and the thymus gland

A

Thoracic Cavity

31
Q

It is a cavity where the posterior ventral cavity found beneath the thoracic cavity and diaphragm. It is generally divided into the abdominal and pelvic cavities.

A

Abdomino-pelvic cavity

32
Q

It is a cavity where it’s not contained with bone and houses many organs of the digestive and renal systems, as well as some organs of the endocrine system, such as the adrenal glands.

A

Abdominal Cavity

33
Q

It is a cavity where it contained within the pelvis and houses the bladder and reproductive system

A

Pelvic Cavity

34
Q

What cavity houses the brain

A

Dorsal Cavity

35
Q

What cavity enclosed the spinal cord

A

Vertebral Cavity

36
Q

A serous membrane can also referred as

A

Serosa

37
Q

What layers of the membranes line the walls of the body cavity

A

Parietal Layers

Pariet - refers to a cavity wall

38
Q

What layer of the membrane covers the organs

A

Visceral Layer (Viscera)

39
Q

It is one of thins membranes that cover the walls and organs in the thoracic and abdomino-pelvic cavities

A

Serous Membrane

40
Q

It lines the pericardial cavity and reflects back to cover the heart-much the same way that an under inflated balloon would form toe layers surrounding a fist

A

Serous Membrane
