Buttock

Antecubital

Dictionary definition and meaning for word antecubital. (adj) of or relating to the region of the arm in front of the elbow. blood was drawn from the antecubital region.

The knee is proximal to the thigh.

False Proximal means "closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk." Distal means "farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk." In this case, because the thigh is closer to the body trunk than the knee, the knee is distal (not proximal) to the thigh.

In tetrapod anatomy, lumbar is an adjective that means of or pertaining to the abdominal segment of the torso, between the diaphragm and the sacrum. The lumbar region is sometimes referred to as the lower spine, or as an area of the back in its proximity.

Which of the following is the proper description of the human body in the anatomical position?

The body is erect with feet slightly apart and palms facing forward with thumbs pointing away from the body. In the anatomical position, the body is erect with feet slightly apart and arms at the sides. This position is easy to remember because it resembles "standing at attention," except that the palms face forward and the thumbs point away from the body.

Cervical

The cervical (neck) vertebrae are the upper 7 vertebrae in the spinal column (the vertebral column). They are designated C1 through C7 from the top down. C1 is called the atlas. ... The joint between the atlas and axis is a pivot that allows the head to turn

Cranial cavity

The cranial cavity, or intracranial space, is the space formed inside the skull. It is part of the dorsal body cavity

Which of the following statements is correct?

The heart is dorsal to the sternum. The heart is dorsal (posterior) to the sternum. In humans, the terms dorsal and posterior are synonymous with one another, meaning "toward or at the back of the body," or behind.

Patellar

The kneecap by another name, the patella is the small bone that is in the front of the knee. The patella is a sesamoid bone, a little bone (sesamoid = like a sesame seed) that is embedded in a joint capsule or tendon, in this case the tendon of insertion of the quadriceps muscle (the "quad").

Median plane

The median plane also called a mid-sagittal plane is used to describe the sagittal plane as it bisects the body vertically through the midline marked by the navel, dividing the body exactly in left and right side.

Pelvic cavity

The pelvic cavity is a body cavity that is bounded by the bones of the pelvis.

You are asked to draw blood from the median cubital vein. You will search for this vein in the ________.

Which of the following describes a parasagittal plane?

any sagittal plane except in the midline

Frontal plane

A coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal (belly and back) sections.

The fingers are_________ to the wrist .

Distal

A coronal section creates a superior and an inferior section.

False Correct. A transverse section creates a superior and an inferior section

What is the function of serous fluid?

It enables organs, such as the heart and the stomach, to slide across cavity walls and each other without friction. The slippery serous fluid allows the organs to slide without friction across the cavity walls and one another as they carry out their routine functions. This freedom of movement is especially important for mobile organs, such as the pumping heart and the churning stomach.

Patellar

Knee( anterior aspect)

The lungs are_______ to the heart.

Lateral

The bridge of the nose is _________ to the left eye

Medial

Femoral

Medical Definition of femoral. : of or relating to the femur or thigh.

Which of the following regional anatomy terms matches the anatomical description "anterior and most distal"?

Metatersal The metatarsal region is the most distal region on this list. Additionally, when you view the posterior plane, the metatarsal region is not visible (instead you would see the plantar region

Gluteal

Pertaining to the buttocks region, which is formed by the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus muscles.

Occipital

Pertaining to the occiput, the back of head. 2. Located near the occipital bone as, for example, the occipital lobe of the brain

What is a vertical section through the body, dividing it into left and right, called?

Sagittal

Abdominal cavity

The abdominal cavity is hardly an empty space. It contains a number of crucial organs including the lower part of the esophagus, the stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and bladder.

A small family was traveling in its van and had a minor accident. The children in the back seats were wearing lap belts, but still sustained numerous bruises about the abdomen, and had some internal organ injuries. Why is this area more vulnerable to damage than others?

The abdominal organs are not protected by a bony covering.

Sacral

The sacrum is the name of the bone located at the base of the spine that consists of five fused vertebrae. These vertebrae are unfused in children, but by the early to mid twenties, they will be fused together. ... The sacrum is curved, which allows more room in the pelvic cavity for various organs.

transverse plane

The transverse plane (also called the horizontal plane, axial plane, or transaxial plane) is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is perpendicular to the coronal plane and sagittal plane.

Which of the following statements regarding the umbilicus and the chin is true?

The umbilicus is caudal to the chin. The terms caudal and inferior are synonymous, meaning "away from the head end or toward the lower part of a structure or the body; below." The umbilicus is caudal (inferior) to the chin.

Which body cavity is further separated into other cavities?

Thorasic The thoracic cavity contains the pericardial and pleural cavities, which in turn house the heart and lungs, respectively.
