    Study Notes

    Anatomical Directional Terms

    • Superior: Closer to the head
    • Inferior: Closer to the feet
    • Anterior: Toward the front
    • Posterior: Toward the back
    • Medial: Closer to the midline
    • Lateral: Away from the midline
    • Proximal: Closer to the point of attachment
    • Distal: Farther from the point of attachment
    • Bilateral: Relating to both sides
    • Ipsilateral: On the same side
    • Contralateral: On the opposite side

    Anatomical Planes

    • Sagittal Section: Divides the body into right and left portions
    • Median/Midsagittal Section: A sagittal section that divides the body into equal halves
    • Parasagittal Section: A sagittal section that divides the body into unequal halves
    • Transverse/Horizontal Section: Divides the body into superior and inferior parts
    • Frontal/Coronal Section: Divides the body into anterior and posterior parts

    Body Cavities

    • Dorsal Cavity: Contains the cranial (brain) and vertebral (spinal cord) cavities.
    • Ventral Cavity: Contains the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
    • Thoracic Cavity: Contains the pericardial cavity (heart), pleural cavities (lungs), mediastinum (structures between the pleural cavities), esophagus, trachea, thymus, and the diaphragm- the muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
    • Abdominopelvic Cavity: Contains the abdominal cavity (stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, most of the small and large intestine) and pelvic cavity (bladder, terminal part of large intestine, internal organs of reproduction).
    • Diaphragm: A sheet of skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic from the abdominopelvic cavity.

    Organ System Categories

    • Integumentary: Skin
    • Skeletal: Bones
    • Muscular: Muscles
    • Nervous: Brain, spinal cord
    • Endocrine: Thyroid, glands, other glands
    • Cardiovascular: Heart
    • Lymphatic: Spleen
    • Digestive: Stomach
    • Urinary: Kidneys
    • Respiratory: Lungs
    • Reproductive: Ovaries/Testes

    Body Divisions

    • Appendicular Portion: Limbs
    • Axial Portion: Head, neck, and trunk

    Membranes

    • Thoracic Membranes: Pleural membranes (parietal and visceral layers) and the pleural cavity. Pericardial membranes (parietal and visceral layers) and the pericardial cavity.

    • Abdominal Membranes: Peritoneal membranes (parietal and visceral layers) and the peritoneal cavity.

    Abdominal Regions

    • Subdivision of the abdomen for describing location of organs. Nine regions are described, including the right and left hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and pubic regions.

    Anatomical Position

    • Body erect, feet slightly apart, head and toes pointed forward, arms at sides with palms facing forward.

    Regional Terms

    • Numerous regional terms describe specific body areas, such as "mammary", "nasal", "occipital", "oral", "orbital", "patellar", "pectoral", "pedal", "mental", "axillary", "brachial", "buccal", "calcaneal", "carpal", "celiac", "cephalic", "cervical", "costal", "coxal", "crural", "cubital", "digital", "dorsal", "femoral", "frontal", "genital", "gluteal", "inguinal", "lumbar", "pelvic", "perineal", "plantar", "popliteal", "sacral", "sternal", "sural", "tarsal", "umbilical", "vertebral", and so on.
