Cranial Cavity

Brain

in which quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity is the stomach located?

LUQ

bones can support and protect body organs bc they contain hard mineral deposits

The principle of complementarity of structure and function

Ventral Cavity Subdivisions

Thoracic, Abdominal, Abdominopelvic

Dorsal Cavity Subdivisions

Vertebral and Cranial/Spinal

mediasturnum

a cavity contained within the thoracic

pericarditis

a disorder in which pain is experience in the thoracic cavity -an infection or inflammation of the connective tissue covering surrounding the heart

the study of the structure of the body parts and how they relate to each other

anatomy

tarsal

ankle

axial

olecranal

back of elbow

occipital region

back of head

popliteal

back of knee

sural

back of leg

scapular

back of shoulder

why is the abdomen more prone to damage?

bc it is not protected by bony covering

the fingers are _____ to the wrist

distal

the heart is _____ to the sternum

dorsal

the body cavities that protect the nervous system are located in the?

dorsal cavity

antecubital

front of elbow

vertical section through body dividing it into anterior and posterior regions

frontal or coronal plane

inguinal

groin

cephalic

head

Thoracic Cavity

heart and lungs

coxal

hip

the coal joint is most likely from what region

hip

caudal

inferior

found in the left iliac region

intestines

Anatomical position is important because..

it allows a common point of reference for body positions to help communicate anatomical relationships

what is the function if serous fluid?

it enables organs such as the heart and the stomach to slide across cavity walls and each other w/o frictions

patellar

knee

patellar

knee(anterior)

The lungs are _____ to the heart

lateral

crural

leg

the parietal pleura would represent a serous membrane ___________

lining the thoracic cavity

lumbar

lower back

sacral

lower back near anus

the bridge of the nose is ____ to the wrist

medial

the anatomical description "anterior and most distal" out of carpal, acromial, metatarsal, and popliteal

metatarsal

the study of individual cells

microscopic anatomy

sternal

middle of chest

cervical

neck

where is the popliteal pulse point?

on the posterior side of the knee

The level of organization immediately before(simpler than) the cell

organelle

Tissues join together to form this

organs

where are the lungs located?

pleural, ventral, and thoracic cavity

The upper arm is _____ to the forearm

proximal

a vertical section through the body dividing it into left and right

sagittal plane

what cut could cross the umbilical, pelvic and nasal region

sagittal section

acromial

shoulder

vertebral

spine

Abdominopelvic Cavity

stomach and uterus

directional term is used to describe the relationship of the skin to the skeletal muscle

superficial

proper way to describe anatomical position

the body is erect w/ feet slightly apart and palms facing forward w/ thumbs pointing away from the body

The Anatomical Perspective

the innermost lining of the lungs composed primarily of thin tissues called simple squamous epithelium

femoral

thigh

which body cavity is further separated into other cavities

thoracic

pollex

thumb

what is the role of the serous membranes covering?

to prevent friction b/w the organ and body cavity

the epigastric region is superior to the umbilical region
