1 Anatomical Terminology

2 Directional Terms Used by medical personnel and anatomists allowing them to explain exactly where on body structure is in relation to another. We would say: The ears are located on each side of the head to the right and left of the nose. Using anatomical terminology: The ears are lateral to the nose.

7 Body Planes & Sections When preparing to look at internal structures of the body, medical students make a section or a cut. When the section is made through the body wall or an organ, it is made along an imaginary line called a plane.

8 Body Planes/Sections 1. Saggital- seperates body into left and right sides 2. Frontal- seperates body or organ into anterior and posterior parts 3. Transverse- seperates organ into superioir and inferior parts

9 Body planes

10 All together now

11 Wait…what? (Connect!) Sagittal Transverse Coronal Horizontal Median Frontal

12 With your creature… Show me a Sagittal Section

13 Sagittal/Median plane divides body into?

14 Show me a frontal section

15 Coronal/frontal plane divides body into?

16 Show me a transverse section

17 Transverse/horizontal plane divides body into?

18 All together now for real

19 Notice difference (Posterior) (Anterior)

20 Body Planes & Sections http://www.wisc- online.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=AP1 5605 http://www.wisc- online.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=AP1 5605

21 Body Cavities 1. Dorsal (protected by bone) – Cranial- contains brain – Spinal- contains spinal cord 2. Ventral – Thoracic- contains heart & lungs – Abdominopelvic Abdominal- contains digestive organs (not protected by bone) Pelvic- contains reproductive organs, bladder, rectum
