  1. Anatomical Terminology

  2. Directional Terms • Used by medical personnel and anatomists allowing them to explain exactly where on body structure is in relation to another. • We would say: The ears are located on each side of the head to the right and left of the nose. • Using anatomical terminology: The ears are lateral to the nose.

  3. 1. The wrist is ________ to the hand. • 2. The breastbone is ___________ to the spine. • 3. The brain is __________ to the spinal cord. • 4. The lungs are ___________ to the stomach. • 5. The mouth is ___________ to the nose.

  5. Body Planes & Sections • When preparing to look at internal structures of the body, medical students make a section or a cut. When the section is made through the body wall or an organ, it is made along an imaginary line called a plane.

  6. Body Planes/Sections • 1. Saggital- seperates body into left and right sides • 2. Frontal- seperates body or organ into anterior and posterior parts • 3. Transverse- seperates organ into superioir and inferior parts

  7. Body planes

  8. All together now

  9. Wait…what? (Connect!) • Sagittal • Transverse • Coronal • Horizontal • Median • Frontal

  10. With your creature… • Show me a Sagittal Section

  11. Sagittal/Median plane divides body into?

  12. Show me a frontal section

  13. Coronal/frontal plane divides body into?

  14. Show me a transverse section

  15. Transverse/horizontal plane divides body into?

  16. All together now for real

  17. Notice difference (Anterior) (Posterior)

  19. Body Cavities • 1. Dorsal (protected by bone) • Cranial- contains brain • Spinal- contains spinal cord • 2. Ventral • Thoracic- contains heart & lungs • Abdominopelvic • Abdominal- contains digestive organs (not protected by bone) • Pelvic- contains reproductive organs, bladder, rectum
