Peritoneal surrounds the _______

Abdominopelvic

Toward front

Anterior

Oblique Plane

Any cut at an angle

Retroperitoneal means the organs are ______________ the serous membrane.

Behind

Anatomical Position

Body is upright Arms at side Palms face forward Soles of feet are down

Appendicular Region (Upper)

Brachial Cubital Antebrachial Carpal Palmar Digital Dorsum

System that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Its function is to transport gasses, nutrients, waste, and hormones.

Cardiovascular

Caudal

Second Organization

Cellular: structural and functional unit of life

Toward Head

Cephalic

Axial Region

Cephalic, cervical, trunk

First Organization

Chemical: atom interaction

Dorsal Body Cavities

Cranial (Brain) Spinal (Spinal Cord)

System that includes intestines, stomach, mouth, esophagus, and pharynx. Breaks down and absorbs food.

Digestive

Mid saggital

Divides body into EVEN left and right

Coronal Plane

Divides body into anterior and posterior (front and back)

Saggital Plane

Divides body into left and right

Transverse Plane

Divides body into superior and inferior (top and bottom)

System that includes hormone glands. It regulates body activities.

Endocrine

Appendicular Region (Lower)

Femoral Patellar Cural Talas Dorsum Plantar Digital

Cephalic Region

Frontal Orbital Otic Oral Nasal Mental Buccal

Paracardium surrounds the _________

Heart

System that includes the skin, hair, nails, and some glands. Functions as protection and storage.

Integumentary

Away from mid line

Lateral

Prone

Laying face down

Supine

Laying face up

The Plura surrounds the _________

Lungs

System includes lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, appendix, thymus and bone marrow. Provides immunity.

Lymphatic

Toward mid line

Medial

System that includes the muscles. Functions to provide movement, protection, and heat insulation.

Muscular

Cervical Region

Neck

System that includes the brain, nerves, spinal cord, and receptors. Its function is to provide sensation, communication, and response to stimuli.

Nervous

Fifth Organization

Organ System: group of organs that function together

Fourth Organization

Organ: more then one tissue type functioning together

Sixth Organization

Organism: any living thing

Thoracic Region

Serous Membranes

Periatal and Viseral

Thoracic Cavity

Pleural (lungs) Mediastinum

Toward Back

Posterior

System that includes tetes/ovaries, and allows for production of gametes.

Reproductive

System that includes lungs, nose, trachea, and pharynx. Allows for gas exchange and pH balance.

Respiratory

System that includes bones, cartilage, and joints. Functions to provide protection to organs and the give support and movement.

Skeletal

Ventral Body Cavities

Thoracic (Above Diaphragm) Abdominopelvic (Below Diaphragm)

Third Organization
