BIO 141 Unit 2 Review.

What may be some real-world applications of anatomical sections?

A CT (computed tomography scan) can show/ display a transverse sectional scan of the abdominopelvic cavity. MRI's can display three sections of the brain. The midsagittal, frontal, and transverse scans to locate any problems.

Oblique plane

passes through the body at an angle

Figure 2.12 is not in anatomical position. List all of the deviations from anatomical position

1. The head is turned to the side 2. Palms are facing towards the sides of the body and not forwards. 3. Feed are not facing the same direction. 4. The body is facing backwards.

Lateral

Away from the body's midline

Inferior

Away from the head/toward the tail.

Deep

Away from the surface/toward the body's interior.

Which of the following best describes anatomical position?

Body facing forward, arms at sides, palms facing forward.

Proximal

Closer to the point of origin (e.g., of a limb)

The following organs belong to the _______ system: esophagus, gallbladder, liver.

Digestive system

Parasagittal plane

Divides body into unequal right and left sides

Frontal plane

Divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.

The following organs belong to the _____ system: pancreas, thyroid gland, adrenal glands

Endocrine system

Distal

Farther from the point of origin (e.g., of a limb)

A serous membrane secretes _________, which ______ the organs in certain____ body cavities.

Serous fluid, lubricates, ventral

Which of the following is an incorrect use of a directional term?

The ankle is inferior to the knee

Posterior

Toward the back of the body

Medial

Toward the body's midline

Anterior

Toward the front of the body.

Superior

Toward the head

Superficial

Toward the surface/skin.

Which anatomical section(s) would provide a view of the internal anatomy of both kidneys?

Transverse section (cross-section), but the frontal can also give a view of both kidneys.

Midsagittal plane

divides the body into equal right and left sides

Transverse plane

divides the body into superior/inferior parts

Anatomical position and specific directional and regional terms are used in anatomy and physiology to:

provide a standard that facilitates communication and decreases the chances of errors.
