1
1.3 Language of Anatomy Objectives: 1. Become familiar with Anatomical Position. 2. Utilize Anterior & Posterior regional terms correctly. 3. Differentiate between the 3 body planes. 4. 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
Directional Anatomy Directional terms are used to precisely locate one part of the body relative to another and to reduce length of explanations
4
Directional Terms Superior/Cephalic/Cranial Inferior Anterior/Ventral Posterior/Dorsal Superficial: toward surface Deep: away from surface
5
Directional Terms Medial: toward midline Lateral: away from midline Proximal: near origin Distal: away from origin
6
Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks Abdominal: Anterior body trunk, inferior to the ribs Antecubital: Anterior surface of elbow Axillary: Armpit
7
Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks Brachial: Arm Buccal: Cheek Cervical: Neck
8
Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks Digital: Fingers/Toes Femoral: Thigh Inguinal: Where thigh meets body trunk/groin
9
Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks Oral: Mouth Orbital: Eye Patellar: Anterior Knee
10
Regional Terms: Anterior Body Landmarks Pubic: Genital Region Thoracic: Chest Umbilical: Navel
11
Regional Terms: Posterior Body Landmarks Deltoid: Curve of Shoulder Gluteal: Buttock Lumbar: Between ribs & hips (Lower back)
12
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)
13
Body Planes & Sections Sagittal Section: A cut made lengthwise (longitudinal) that divides the body into L & R halves.
14
Body Planes & Sections Frontal Section: A cut made lengthwise that divides the body into anterior & posterior parts. (Front & Back)
15
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.
16
Body Cavities Dorsal Body Cavities: Cranial Cavity: Space inside the body skull. Spinal Cavity: Extends from the cranial cavity down the vertebral column.
17
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
18
Abdominopelvic Body Cavity
