| How many quadrants are there in the abdominal cavity? name them | There are four quadrants in the abdomen (quad meaning four) they are: * Right upper quadrant:liver/gallbladder * Left upper quadrant:spleen * Right lower quadrant:appendix * Left lower quadrant:descending colon |
| Why are the concepts of body quadrants and body regions critical when it comes to the medical field? | to keep from having an error in surgery |
| Why are body quadrants and body regions critical when it comes to the medical field? | they are standardized medical terms commonly used to reference numerous body situations from symptoms such as pain to disease to injury, etc. |
| What is the difference between the body regions and the body quadrants? | Quadrants refers to the torso only. |
| What are the abdominopelvic regions of the human body?part 1 | Umbilical Region the centermost region surroundin the umbilicus(naval).Epigastic Region superior to the umbilical region (epi=upon,above;gasti=belly)Hypogastric (pubic) Region inferior to the umbilical region (hypo = below). |
| What are the abdominopelvic regions of the human body?part 2 | Right&Left Iliac/Inguinal, Regions lateral to the hypogastric region (iliac=superior part of the hip bone)Right&Left Lumbar lie lateral to the umbilical region (lumbus=loin). Right&Left Hypochondriac R&L epiqastric region laterally (chondro= cartilage). |
| Starting from left to right, top to bottom, in anatomical position, name the to 9 body regions. | R hypochondriac, epigastric, L hypochondriac, R lumbar, umblical, L lumar, R iliac, hypogastric, L iliac. |
| What does the abdominal cavity contain? | Intestines, liver, spleen, stomach, pancreas |
| Name the two main body cavities and their regions. | DORSAL: Contains cranial and vertebrae cavities. VENTRAL: Contains Thoracic. Abdimino-pelvic, which contains abdominal and pelvic cavities |
| Superior | Above e.g the nose is superior to the chin |
| Inferior | Below e.g. the stomach is inferior to the head. |
| Medial | Toward the midline e.g. the sternum is medial to the shoulders. |
| Lateral | Towards the side e.g. the ears are lateral to the nose. |
| Superficial | Towards the surface e.g the skin is superficial to the heart |
| Deep | Towards the core e.g. the lungs are deep to the ribs |
| Ventral or Anterior | To the front e.g. the toes are ventral/anterior tothe heel |
| Dorsal or Posterior | To the back e.g. the spine is dorsal/posterior to the sternum |
| Proximal | For extremities, meaning near the trunk e.g. the elbow is proximal to the wrist |
| Distal | For extremities, meaning away from the trunk e.g. the toes are distal to the knee |
| Anatomical position | body upright, facing forward, arms and legs straight, palms facing forward,feet flat on the ground, and eyes wide open. |
| What differs between a dog and humans anatomical positioning? | dogs are quadrupeds, therefor their view is later, thereas humans are at an Anterior view. |
| Dorsal body cavity | cranial and vertebrae cavities |
| Ventral body cavity | thoracic cavity, diaphragm, abdominal and pelvic cavities |
| Thoracic cavity | Pleural and pericardial cavities, diaphragm, mediastinum |
| Abdominopelvic cavity | abdominal and pelvic cavities |
| What is the mediastinum? | the space between the lungs |
| What separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity? | The diaphragm |
| What separates the abdominal cavity from the pelvic cavity | THERE IS NO PHYSICAL BARRIER BETWEEN THESE TWO CAVITIES. |
| What does the pelvic cavity contain? | Urinary and genital structures |
