Study Notes
Body Cavities and Organs
- The cranial cavity houses the brain.
- The spinal cavity contains the spinal cord.
- The thoracic cavity includes the heart and lungs.
- The abdominal cavity features the pancreas, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and liver.
- The pelvic cavity contains the bladder, uterus, and ovaries.
Body Cavities Classification
- Dorsal (posterior) cavities are the cranial and spinal cavities.
- Anterior (ventral) cavities consist of the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic.
Anatomical Planes
- The sagittal plane divides the body into equal right and left halves.
- The coronal plane separates the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) halves.
- The transverse plane divides the body into top (superior) and bottom (inferior) halves.
Directional Terms
- Cranial refers to the direction toward the head.
- Caudal indicates the direction toward the feet.
- Superior means above or upper.
- Inferior signifies below or lower.
- Anterior (ventral) implies the front of the body.
- Posterior (dorsal) denotes the back of the body.
- Medial means toward the midline of the body.
- Lateral refers to away from the midline or body.
- Proximal indicates closer to the trunk.
- Distal means farther from the trunk.
Abdominal Regions
- The three top abdominal regions are the right hypochondriac, left hypochondriac, and epigastric.
- The three middle abdominal regions consist of the right lumbar, left lumbar, and umbilical.
- The three lower abdominal regions are the right iliac, left iliac, and hypogastric.
Tissue and Membranes
- Four main tissue types are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
- Two primary membrane types are mucous and serous.
- Epithelial (serous) membranes include parietal (lining the cavity) and visceral (covering the organ).
Functions of Membranes
- Mucous membranes are located in the digestive, urinary, and respiratory tracts, serving to lubricate and protect.
- Serous fluid is contained within double-walled membranes lining closed body cavities.
Healing and Anatomy
- A superficial cut is an incision on the skin without infection.
- Epithelization is the healing process for large open wounds.
- Scar tissue is referred to as connective tissue.
- Anatomy is the study of the shape and structure of an organism's body.
- Physiology is the study of how an organism's body functions.
