Bellwork Write these vocabulary words on your bell work sheet 2 1.Superior 2.Inferior 3.Anterior 4.Posterior 5.Medial If you were absent Monday get the other 15 words from a class mate/ see absent folder for worksheet we did in class

Now with a partner define these. You can use your books, or your phone Quiz: This Friday

Anatomical Position ▪ Anatomical Position: Used for the purpose of description Body is standing, the feet together, the arms to the side, and the head and eyes and palms of the hands facing forwards. 4

Anatomical Planes ▪ Anatomical Planes: Flat surfaces which pass through body parts – The Main Planes 1. Sagittal (parasagittal and midsagittal) 2.Frontal 3.Transverse 5

Anatomical Planes 1.Sagittal: a cut made lengthwise (longitudinal) that divides the body into left and right halve – Midsagittal – Parasagittal 6

Anatomical Planes 2.Frontal Plane: A cut made lengthwise that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts (front and back) 7

Frontal 8

Anatomical Planes 3.Transverse Plane: 9 Cut made along a horizontal plane, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts (top and bottom) AKA a cross section

Transverse 10

Directional Terms ▪ Anterior(Ventral): Nearer or to the front of the body 12 Anterior 1 1

Directional Terms ▪ Posterior(Dorsal): Nearer or to the back of the body 13 Anterior 2 Posterior 2

Directional Terms ▪ Superior(Cranial): Toward the head, or the upper part of a structure 14 Anterior 3 3 Posterior

Directional Terms ▪ Inferior(Caudal): Away from the head, or the lower part of a structure 15 Anterior 4 4 Posterior

Directional Terms ▪ Proximal: Nearest to the center of the body relative to another body part. 16 Examples: the humerus is proximal to the radius the femur is proximal to the tibia the shoulder is proximal to the elbow

Directional Terms ▪ Label proximal on your handout

Directional Terms ▪ Distal: 18 Examples: the phalanges(fingers) are distal to the carpals(wrist) Furthest from the center of the body relative to another body part the eyes are distal to the mouth the knees are distal to the hip

Directional Terms ▪ Label proximal on your handout

Directional Terms ▪ Medial: 20 Examples: the nose is medial to the eyes Nearer to the midline the sternum is medial to the shoulder the ears are medial to the shoulders

Directional Terms ▪ Label medial on your handout

Directional Terms ▪ Lateral: 22 Examples: the thumb is lateral to the pinky Farther from the midline the lungs are lateral to the heart the shoulders are lateral to the ears

Directional Terms ▪ Label lateral on your handout

Directional Terms ▪ Pair up ▪ Divide the directional term cards evenly and randomly ▪ Take some tape and put your directional terms onto your partner and vice versa ▪ Use the directions provided on this slide a.Area distal to the knee b.Area proximal to the elbow c.Lateral to the big toe d.Anterior side of the body e.Posterior side of the body f.Area that is medial to the shoulder g.Area that is superior to the lungs h.Area that is inferior to the heart 24

Body Cavities ▪ Dorsal Body Cavities : 25 Cranial Cavity Space inside the skull Contains the brain Spinal Cavity Extends from the cranial cavity down the vertebral column Contains the spinal cord

Body Cavities ▪ Ventral Body Cavities : 26 Thoracic Cavity The upper body cavity that extends down to the diaphragm Abdominopelvic Cavity Abdominal cavity Pelvic cavity

Language of Anatomy ▪ Cranial: ▪ Cervical: ▪ Orbital: ▪ Nasal: ▪ Oral: skull 27 neck eye socket nose mouth

Language of Anatomy ▪ Thoracic: ▪ Brachial: ▪ Acromial: ▪ Antebrachial: ▪ Carpal: ▪ Phalanges: chest 28 arm forearm wrist Fingers and toes shoulder

Language of Anatomy ▪ Femoral: ▪ Patella: ▪ Tarsal: 29 thigh knee cap ankle

Language of Anatomy ▪ Scapula: ▪ Vertebral: ▪ Dorsal: ▪ Gluteal: ▪ Sural: shoulder blade 30 back buttock calf spinal column

Language of Anatomy ▪ Abdominal: ▪ Buccal: ▪ Inguinal: ▪ Umbilical: Anterior body trunk 31 Where thigh meets body trunk bellybutton Cheek
