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

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

lining the thoracic cavity
lumbar
lower back
sacral
lower back near anus
the bridge of the nose is ____ to the wrist

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

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

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
