Transes Anaphy Lab (Activity 6)

The document describes the organization of the human body, including anatomical positions, directional terms, body cavities and regions, and planes. It defines anatomical position as standing erect with arms at sides and palms forward. It provides directional terms like superior, anterior, medial. It outlines the major body cavities including the cranial, spinal, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities and some of their contents like the brain, lungs, heart. Planes like sagittal, transverse, and frontal are defined as imaginary flat surfaces used to section the body.

BODY POSITIONS BODY CAVITIES AND REGIONS

➢ Anatomical position
o standing erect with the face directed
forward, the upper limbs hanging to
the sides, and the palms of the
hands facing forward
➢ Supine
o lying face upward
➢ Prone

PLANES: SECTION OF ORGAN


● Longitudinal section- through the
length of the organ
● Transverse (Cross) section- Right
angle to the length of the organ
● Oblique section- Across the length of
the organ at other than a right angle

PLANES
● Planes
Imaginary flat surface
● Sagittal plane
Vertically; Right and left BODY CAVITIES
• Median plane ● DORSAL
Midline; equal right and left halves
○ Cranial cavity- within the skull
● Transverse (Horizontal) plane
Parallel to the ground; Superior ■ organ: brain
and inferior
● Frontal (Coronal) plane ○ Spinal cavity- within the vertebral column
Vertically; Anterior and Posterior ■ organ: spinal cord

● VENTRAL
○ Thoracic cavity- within the rib cage
■ Pleural cavities- left ⅓ and right ⅓
of the thoracic cavity
● organ: lung
■ Mediastinum- middle ⅓ of the
thorax
● organs: heart, trachea,
esophagus
○ Abdominopelvic cavity- from the
diaphragm to the bottom of the trunk
■ Abdominal cavity- from the
diaphragm to the rim of the pelvic
bones
● organs: stomach, liver,
most of the intestines,
pancreas, spleen, kidneys
