Body Regions and Terms
- Frontal region refers to the forehead area.
- Cephalic is the head region, including the cranium and facial features.
- Orbital and nasal regions are associated with the eyes and nose respectively.
- Cervical refers to the neck, while axillary pertains to the armpit.
- Sternal indicates the chest area where the sternum is located.
- Brachial covers the upper arm area, while antecubital is the front of the elbow.
- Abdominal refers to the stomach region, with umbilical specifying the belly button area.
- Pelvic regions include pubic and inguinal areas.
- Lower limb references (e.g., femoral for thigh, tarsal for ankle) indicate various sections of the leg.
Body Cavities
- Cranial cavity houses the brain, providing protection.
- Internal body cavities shield organs and facilitate functions.
Endocrine System
- Comprises glands such as the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands.
- Hormones produced regulate growth, stress response, electrolyte balance, and metabolism.
Cardiovascular System
- Composed of heart and blood vessels.
- Responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body.
Lymphatic System
- Includes lymph vessels, nodes, and organs (spleen, tonsils).
- Functions to return fluid to blood and plays a role in immune response.
Respiratory System
- Structures include nasal passages, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
- Main function is gas exchange: supplying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
Digestive System
- Encompasses the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
- Breaks down food for nutrient absorption and expels undigested waste.
Urinary System
- Consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- Regulates waste removal, water and salt balance, and maintains blood pH.
Reproductive System
- Male components include scrotum and penis; females have ovaries, uterine tubes, and vagina.
Anatomical Position
