Study Notes

Anatomical Organization

The human body is organized in a hierarchical manner, from smallest to largest.
- Chemical level: atoms combine to form molecules.
- Cellular level: molecules combine to form cells, the basic units of life.
- Tissue level: similar cells working together form tissues, supporting body functions.
- Organ level: different tissues working together form organs.
- Organ system level: related organs work together to accomplish specific tasks, forming organ systems.
- Organism level: organ systems working together make up the entire organism (the human body).

Body Cavities

Body cavities are spaces within the body that house internal organs.
- Cranial cavity: houses the brain.
- Vertebral canal: houses the spinal cord.
- Thoracic cavity: houses the heart and lungs.
- Pleural cavity: surrounds the lungs.
- Pericardial cavity: surrounds the heart.
- Mediastinum: contains the heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea and large blood vessels.
- Abdominopelvic cavity: houses the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity.
- Abdominal cavity: houses the stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, most of the intestines, and other organs.
- Pelvic cavity: contains the urinary bladder, portions of the intestines and reproductive organs.

Anatomical Terminology: Planes

Planes are imaginary flat surfaces that divide the body into specific sections or parts.
- Sagittal plane: divides the body into right and left sides (midsagittal - equal halves, parasagittal – unequal halves).
- Frontal (coronal) plane: divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) portions.
- Transverse (horizontal) plane: divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions.
- Oblique plane: passes through the body at an angle other than 90 degrees.

Anatomical Terminology: Directional Terms

Superior (cranial/cephalic): above or higher in position, toward the head
Inferior (caudal): below or lower, toward the feet
Anterior (ventral): toward the front of the body
Posterior (dorsal): toward the back of the body
Medial: towards the midline of the body
Lateral: away from the midline of the body
Proximal: Closer to the point of attachment or origin.
Distal: Far from the point of attachment or origin.
Superficial: Closer to the surface of the body
Deep: Farther from the surface of the body
Internal: Inside a structure
External: Outside a structure

Body Quadrants

Four quadrants (RUQ, RLQ, LUQ, LLQ) divide the abdominopelvic region for clinical purposes.
