The Human Body: An Orientation: Part B


Anatomical Position

• Standard anatomical body position:

• Body erect

• Feet slightly apart

• Palms facing forward

Regional Terms

• Two major divisions of body:

• Axial

• Head, neck, and trunk

• Appendicular

• Limbs

• Regional terms designate specific areas

Body Planes

• Plane: Flat surface along which body or

structure is cut for anatomical study


Body Planes

• Sagittal plane

• Divides body vertically into right and left parts

• Produces a sagittal section

• Midsagittal (median) plane

• Lies on midline

• Parasagittal plane

• Not on midline


Body Planes

• Frontal (coronal) plane

• Divides body vertically into anterior and posterior parts

• Transverse (horizontal) plane

• Divides body horizontally into superior and inferior parts

• Produces a cross section

• Oblique section

• Cuts made diagonally

Anatomical Variability

• Over 90% of all anatomical structures match

textbook descriptions, but:

• Nerves or blood vessels may be somewhat out

of place

• Small muscles may be missing


Body Cavities

• Dorsal cavity

• Protects nervous system

• Two subdivisions:

• Cranial cavity

• Encases brain

• Vertebral cavity

• Encases spinal cord


Body Cavities

• Ventral cavity

• Houses internal organs (viscera)

• Two subdivisions (separated by diaphragm):

• Thoracic cavity

• Abdominopelvic cavity

Ventral Body Cavities

• Thoracic cavity subdivisions:

• Two pleural cavities

• Each houses a lung

• Mediastinum

• Contains pericardial cavity

• Surrounds thoracic organs

• Pericardial cavity

• Encloses heart


Ventral Body Cavities

• Abdominopelvic cavity subdivisions:

• Abdominal cavity

• Contains stomach, intestines, spleen, and

liver

• Pelvic cavity

• Contains urinary bladder, reproductive

organs, and rectum

Serous Membrane (Serosa)

• Thin, double-layered membrane separated by

serous fluid

• Parietal serosa lines internal body walls

• Visceral serosa covers the internal organs
