Body structure ..
body structure
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Body is made up of | Cells, tissues, organs, systems, unified single structure (organism) |
| Supinate | Body & head erect Arms at side Palms forward |
| Directional Terms | describing body structures |
| Superior | Cranial or Cephalic |
| Inferior | Caudal |
| Anterior | Ventral |
| Posterior | Dorsal |
| Medial (mesial) | Toward midline of body |
| Proximal | Nearest trunk of body or point of origin of structure |
| Distal | Farthest from trunk of body or point of origin of structure |
| Superficial | External |
| Deep | Internal |
| Planes of body (sections) Sagittal - | Divides into left - right parts (mid=midian, para=all others) (median divides into left - right halves) |
| Coronal (Frontal) | Divides into left - right halves |
| Transverse (horizontal) | Divides into top and bottom |
| Oblique | Angular section |
| Cross, Longitudinal & others | ... |
| Major Closed Cavities | 1. Dorsal 2. Ventral |
| Dorsal | Cranial & Spinal |
| Ventral (=trunk) | Thoracic & abdominopelvic (Abdominal & pelvic) |
| Abdominal Regions New System - 4 quadrants | Formed by passing one vertical and one horizontal line through umbilicus |
| Old system - formed by 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines | R. hypochondriac epgastric L.hypochondriac R lumbar umbilical L lumbar R iliac (inguinal) hypogastric (pubic) L iliac (inguinal) |
| Serous membranes and cavities - (found in ventral body cavity) | Necessary due to friction created by movement of internal organs |
| Each membrane has 2 portions that face each other | 1. Parietal layer - lines cavity 2. Visceral layer - covers organs within cavity |
| Space(may be potential) formed between | Visceral & parietal layers - filled with serous fluid (lubricant) |
| Three serous membranes forming | Three serous cavities |
| Pluera (right to left) create pleural cavities - associated with | Lungs |
| Pericardium creates pericardial cavity - associated with | The heart |
| Peritoneum creates peritoneal cavity - associated with | Abdominal (esp. digestive) organs - Retroperitoneal - Mesenteries |
| Cephalic | Head |
| Facial | Face |
| Cervical | Neck |
| Frontal | Forehead |
| Orbital or Ocular | Eye |
| Otic | Eye |
| Buccal | Cheek |
| Nasal | Nose |
| Mental | Chin |
| Axillary | Arm Pit |
| Brachial | Arm |
| Carpal | Wrist |
| Cubital or Antecubital | Front of elbow |
| Antebrachial | Forearm |
| Metacarpal | Palm |
| Manual | Hang |
| Digital or Phalangeal | Toes or Fingers |
| Palmar | Anterior surface of Hand |
| Dorsal | Top Surface of Foot or Hand |
| Olecranal | Back of Elbow |
| Thoracic | Chest |
| Mammary | Breast |
| Umbilical | Navel |
| Inguinal | Groin |
| Pubic | Pubis |
| Dorsal | Back |
| Lumbar | Loin |
| Gluteal | Buttock |
| Femoral | Thigh |
| Patellar | Front of knee |
| Crural | Leg |
| Coxal | Hip |
| Tarsal | Ankle |
| Pedal | Foot |
| Popliteal | Hollow of Knee |
| Sural | Calf |
| Plantar | Sole of foot |
| Calcaneal | Heal of foot |
