Study Notes

Anatomical Terminology for Body Parts

Cephalic refers to the head region, encompassing the entire cranial area.
Cranial specifically indicates the skull or bony structure encasing the brain.
Facial pertains to the frontal aspect of the head, including features like cheeks and mouth.
Cervical identifies the neck area, crucial for supporting the head and connecting to the torso.
Frontal describes the forehead region, positioned above the eyes.
Temporal denotes the side of the head where the temples are located, adjacent to the ears.
Orbital or ocular relates to the eye sockets, important for vision.
Otic signifies the ear area, essential for hearing.
Buccal refers to the cheek region, involved in chewing and speaking.
Nasal pertains to the nose, playing a key role in respiration and olfaction.
Oral describes the mouth area, critical for ingestion and communication.
Mental relates to the chin, located at the lower aspect of the face.
Axillary indicates the armpit area, significant for the movement of the arms.
Brachial refers to the arm, involved in lifting and carrying.
Antecubital denotes the front of the elbow, important for bending the arm.
Antebrachial relates to the forearm region, extending from the elbow to the wrist.
Carpal pertains to the wrist area, crucial for hand flexibility.
Palmar or volar specifies the palm of the hand, primarily used for grasping.
Digital or phalangeal describes the fingers, essential for dexterity.
Femoral relates to the thigh area, housing major muscle groups for mobility.
Patellar indicates the anterior surface of the knee, involved in leg extension.
Crural pertains to the leg, extending from the knee to the ankle.
Pedal signifies the foot area, crucial for walking and balance.
Tarsal describes the ankle region, supporting weight transfer.
Hallux specifically refers to the great toe, important for balance.
Dorsum indicates the top of the foot and also refers to the back of the hand.
Thoracic refers to the chest region, containing vital organs like the lungs and heart.
Sternal identifies the breastbone, a key structural element in the thorax.
Mammary relates to the breast area, significant in lactation.
Abdominal pertains to the trunk area below the chest, containing digestive organs.
Umbilical denotes the navel, with roles in fetal development during gestation.
Coxal describes the hip area, important for the mobility of the lower body.
Inguinal pertains to the groin region, significant for leg movement.
Pubic refers to the area surrounding the pubis, involved in reproductive anatomy.
Manual indicates the hand, integral for fine motor skills.
Pollex refers to the thumb, crucial for grasping and manipulation.
Occipital describes the base of the skull, housing the brainstem and cerebellum.
Scapular denotes the shoulder blade area, vital for upper limb movement.
Dorsal refers to the back, important for structural support and protection.
Vertebral relates to the spinal column, which protects the spinal cord.
Lumbar indicates the lower back region, often associated with support and flexibility.
Olecranal or cubital refers to the back of the elbow, relevant for arm movement.
Sacral signifies the area between the hips, important in pelvis formation.
Gluteal pertains to the buttock area, crucial for sitting and locomotion.
Perineal describes the region of the anus and external genitals, significant for reproductive health.
Popliteal relates to the hollow behind the knee, important for circulation.
Sural denotes the calf area, significant for walking and running.
Plantar refers to the sole or bottom of the foot, essential for contact with ground surfaces.
Calcaneal indicates the heel, critical for shock absorption during movement.
