|---|---|
| Anatomical Position | Feet slightly apart, palms face forward, body erect |
| Sagittal Plane | Divides body into left and right sides |
| Frontal(coronal) Plane | Divides into front and back (anterior and posterior) |
| Transverse(horizontal) Plane | Divides body into top and bottom |
| How many main body cavities are there? | 5 |
| What does the serous membrane do? | protects the heart from friction from pumping |
| Name the top 3 abdominopelvic regions: | right and left hypochondriac, epigastric regions |
| Name the middle 3 abdominopelvic regions: | right and left lumbar, umbilical regions |
| Name the bottom 3 abdominopelvic regions: | right and left iliac(inguinal), and hypogastric(pubic) regions. |
| Name the 4 abdominopelvic quadrants: | right upper, left upper, right lower, left lower. |

| Name 7 major body cavities(mostly abdominopelvic): | Cranial, vertebral, mediastimun, pericardial, pleural, abdominal and pelvic |
| Differentiate between superior and inferior | Superior- higher inferior-lower (the head is superior to the heart) |
| Differentiate between ventral and dorsal | ventral- toward the front of the body dorsal- toward the back of the body(the heart is ventral to the spinal cord) |
| Differentiate between lateral and medial | lateral- toward outside of body medial- toward the midline of the body(the arm is lateral to the ribs) |
| Differentiate between distal and proximal | distal- away from point of origin proximal- toward point of origin (the wrist is distal to the elbow) |
