    Study Notes

    Organization of the Human Body

    • The human body is composed of several levels of organization:
      • Chemical level: atoms, molecules
      • Cellular level: cells, tissues
      • Tissue level: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
      • Organ level: heart, lungs, liver
      • Organ system level: circulatory, respiratory, digestive
      • Organismal level: entire human body

    Body Cavities

    • Dorsal cavity: contains the brain and spinal cord
    • Ventral cavity: contains the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
    • Thoracic cavity: contains the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels
    • Abdominopelvic cavity: contains the digestive organs

    Body Regions

    • Axial region: head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis
    • Appendicular region: upper and lower limbs

    Directional Terms

    • Anterior (front) vs. posterior (back)
    • Superior (above) vs. inferior (below)
    • Medial (toward the midline) vs. lateral (away from the midline)
    • Proximal (near the origin) vs. distal (far from the origin)
    • Superficial (near the surface) vs. deep (far from the surface)

    Body Planes

    • Sagittal plane: divides the body into left and right halves
    • Frontal plane: divides the body into anterior and posterior halves
    • Transverse plane: divides the body into superior and inferior halves

    Organization of the Human Body

    • The human body is composed of six levels of organization: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and organismal.

    Body Cavities

    • The dorsal cavity contains the brain and spinal cord.
    • The ventral cavity is divided into the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
    • The thoracic cavity contains the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels.
    • The abdominopelvic cavity contains the digestive organs.

    Body Regions

    • The axial region includes the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.
    • The appendicular region includes the upper and lower limbs.

    Directional Terms

    • Anterior refers to the front of the body, while posterior refers to the back.
    • Superior refers to a location above, while inferior refers to a location below.
    • Medial refers to a location toward the midline, while lateral refers to a location away from the midline.
    • Proximal refers to a location near the origin, while distal refers to a location far from the origin.
    • Superficial refers to a location near the surface, while deep refers to a location far from the surface.

    Body Planes

    • The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves.
    • The frontal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior halves.
    • The transverse plane divides the body into superior and inferior halves.
