1 1.3 Language of Anatomy Objectives:
Become familiar with Anatomical Position. Utilize Anterior & Posterior regional terms correctly. Differentiate between the 3 body planes. Recognize the components of the 2 major body cavities

2 Anatomical Position Anatomical position is standing face front, feet together, arms at the sides, with palms facing forward

3 Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks
Abdominal: Anterior body trunk, inferior to the ribs Antecubital: Anterior surface of elbow Axillary: Armpit

4 Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks
                      Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks Brachial: Arm Buccal: Cheek Cervical: Neck

5 Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks
Digital: Fingers/Toes Femoral: Thigh Inguinal: Where thigh meets body trunk

6 Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks
Oral: Mouth Orbital: Eye Patellar: Anterior Knee

7 Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks
Pubic: Genital Region Thoracic: Chest Umbilical: Navel

8 Regional Terms: Posterior Body Landmarks
Deltoid: Curve of Shoulder Gluteal: Buttock Lumbar: Between ribs & hips (Lower back)

9 Regional Terms: Posterior Body Landmarks
Occipital: Posterior surface of the head. Popliteal: Posterior knee area. Scapular: Shoulder blade region Sural: Posterior surface of lower leg (calf)

10 Body Planes & Sections Sagittal Section: A cut made lengthwise (longitudinal) that divides the body into L & R halves. Midsagittal Parasagittal

11 Body Planes & Sections Frontal Section: A cut made lengthwise that divides the body into anterior & posterior parts. (Front & Back)

12 Body Planes & Sections Transverse Section: A cut made along a transverse (horizontal) plane, dividing the body into superior & inferior parts (Top & Bottom). AKA cross section.

13 Body Cavities Dorsal Body Cavities:
Cranial Cavity: Space inside the body skull. Spinal Cavity: Extends from the cranial cavity down the vertebral column.

14 Body Cavities Ventral Body Cavities
Thoracic Body Cavity: The superior (upper) body cavity that extends down to the diaphragm. Abdominopelvic Body Cavity: Abdominal Cavity Pelvic Cavity

15 Abdominopelvic Body Cavity
