Test 1 - Lab 1 - Intro Flashcards
rostral
toward the forehead or nose
ex. the forebrain is rostral to the brainstem
farther from the body surface
deep
toward the forehead or nose
rostral
on the same side of the body
ex. Your middle finger is blank to your thumb and pinky
ipsilateral
toward the back or spine
dorsal
what is included in the dorsal cavity?
cranial - brain
vertebral - spinal cord
cephalic
toward the head or superior end
ex. the cephalic end of the embryonic neural tube develops into the brain
what cavity does the cranial and vertebral make up?
dorsal
what is included in the ventral cavity?
thoracic - pleural (lungs) & pericardial (heart(
abdominal - visceral organs
pelvic - bladder and reproductive organs
closer to the body surface
superficial
ipsilateral
on the same side of the body
ex. the liver is ipsilateral to the appendix
ex. Your middle finger is ipsilarterl to your thumb and pinky
farther from the point of attachment or origin
only use when point of attatchment
distal
anterior
toward the ventral side (belly)
ex. the sternum is anterior to the heart
- body is erect
- feet are on the floor
- eyes are directed forward
- palms are supine
anatomical position
what are the 2 body cavities?
dorsal - central nervous system
ventral - everything else
anatomical position
standard position we assume the body to be in when using anatomical terms
- body is erect
- feet are on the floor
- eyes are directed forward
- palms are supine
dorsal
toward the back or spine
ex. the vertebral column is dorsal to the aorta
contralateral
on opposite sides of the body
ex. the spleen is contralateral to the liver
what cavity does the thoracic, abdominal & pelvic make up?
ventral
below
inferior
pericardial
heart
toward the front or belly
ventral
pleural
lungs
toward the dorsal side
cephalic
above
superior
the heart is superior to to the diaphram
Your eyes are superior to your mouth
distal
farther from the point of attachment or origin
only use when point of attatchment
ex. the fingernails are at the distal ends of the fingers
lungs
pleural
closer to the point of attachment or origin
only use when point of attatchment
proximal
proximal
closer to the point of attachment or origin
only use when point of attatchment
ex. the elbow is proximal to the wrist
inferior
below
ex. the liver is inferior to the diaphragm
what are the 4 planes: imaginary ‘cuts’?
- transverse
- frontal
- sagittal
- parasagittal
bladder & reproductive organs
pelvic
visceral organs
abdominal
caudal
toward the tail or inferior end (think dolphin)
ex. the spinal cord is caudal to the brain
medial
toward the median plane (towards the midline)
ex. the heart is medial to the lungs
ex: your sternum is medial to your shoulders
ventral
toward the front or belly
ex. the aorta (heart) is ventral to the vertebral column (spine in back)
deep
farther from the body surface
ex. the bones are deep to the muscles
superficial
closer to the body surface
ex the skin is superficial to the muscles
heart
pericardial
superior
above
ex. the heart is superior to the diaphragm
Your eyes are superior to your mouth
on opposite sides of the body
contralatral
standard position we assume the body to be in when using anatomical terms
anatomical position
pelvic
bladder & reproductive organs
abdominal
visceral organs
toward the tail or inferior end
caudal
toward the ventral side
anterior
away from the median plane
away from the midline
ex: your shoulders are lateral to your sternum
lateral
posterior
toward the dorsal side (back)
ex. the esophagus is posterior to the trachea
toward the median plane
towards the midline
ex: your sternum is medial to your shoulders
medial
lateral
away from the median plane (away from midline)
ex. the eyes are lateral to the nose
ex: your shoulders are lateral to your sternum
what makes up the thoracic?
pleural & pericardial
