Some of these cavities, such as the nasal cavity, open to the outside of the body, and some do not. The trunk contains three large cavities that do not open to the outside of the body: the thoracic cavity, the abdominal cavity, and the pelvic cavity The thoracic cavity is surrounded by the rib cage and is separated from the abdominal cavity by the muscular diaphragm. It is divided into right and left parts by a median structure called the mediastinum. The mediastinum is a partition containing the heart, the thymus, the trachea, the esophagus, and other structures. The two lungs are located on each side of the mediastinum. The abdominal cavity is bounded primarily by the abdominal muscles and contains the stomach, the intestines, the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, and the kidneys. The pelvic cavity is a small space enclosed by the bones of the pelvis and contains the urinary bladder, part of the large intestine, and the internal reproductive organs. The abdominal and pelvic cavities are not physically separated and sometimes are called the abdominopelvic cavity.

To understand the relationship between serous membranes and an organ, imagine pushing your fist into an inflated balloon. The inner balloon wall in contact with your fist represents the visceral serous membrane, and the outer part of the balloon wall represents the parietal serous membrane. The cavity, or space, between the visceral and parietal serous membranes is normally filled with a thin, lubricating film of serous fluid produced by the membranes. As an organ rubs against another organ or against the body wall, the serous fluid and smooth serous membranes reduce friction The thoracic cavity contains PERICARDIAL CAVITY The pericardial cavity surrounds the heart. three serous membrane- The visceral pericardium covers the heart, lined cavities: a pericardial which is contained within a connective cavity and two pleural tissue sac lined with the parietal cavities. pericardium.

Downloaded by Mi A ([email protected]) lOMoARcPSD|47750159 Created by: Johmel De Ocampo Language of Anatomy The serous membranes can become inflamed— usually as a result of an infection. PERICARDITIS (per′i-kar-dı′tis) is inflammation of the pericardium, PLEURISY (ploor′i-s̄) is inflammation of the pleura, and PERITONITIS (per′i-t̄-nı′tis) is inflammation of the peritoneum. MESENTERIES (mes′en-ter-̄z), which consist of two layers of peritoneum fused together, connect the visceral peritoneum of some abdominopelvic organs to the parietal peritoneum on the body wall or to the visceral peritoneum of other abdominopelvic organs. The mesenteries anchor the organs to the body wall and provide a pathway for nerves and blood vessels to reach the organs. Other abdominopelvic organs are more closely attached to the body wall and do not have mesenteries. Parietal peritoneum covers these other organs, which are said to be retroperitoneal (re′tr̄ -per′i-t̄-n̄′̆l; retro, behind). The retroperitoneal organs include the kidneys, the adrenal glands, the pancreas, parts of the intestines, and the urinary bladder Downloaded by Mi A ([email protected]) lOMoARcPSD|47750159 Created by: Johmel De Ocampo Language of Anatomy Body Parts The central region of the body consists of the HEAD, NECK, and TRUNK. & Region The trunk can be divided into the thorax (chest), abdomen (region between the thorax and pelvis), and pelvis (the inferior end of the trunk associated with the hips). The upper limb is divided into the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand. The arm extends from the shoulder to the elbow, and the forearm extends from the elbow to the wrist. The lower limb is divided into the thigh, leg, ankle, and foot. The thigh extends from the hip to the knee, and the leg extends from the knee to the ankle.

The quadrants formed are: right-upper, left-upper, right-lower, left-lower quadrants. The abdomen is sometimes subdivided into regions by four imaginary lines—two horizontal and two vertical. These four lines create an imaginary tic-tac-toe figure on the abdomen, resulting in nine regions: epigastric (ep-i-gas′trik), right and left hypochondriac (hı-p̄-kon′dr̄ -ak), umbilical (̆m-bil′i-k̆l), right and left lumbar (l̆m′bar), hypogastric (hı-p̄-gas′trik), and right and left iliac (il′̄-ak). Clinicians use the quadrants or regions as reference points for locating the underlying organs. For example, the appendix is in the right- lower quadrant, and the pain of an acute appendicitis is usually felt there.

Systemic anatomy is the study of the body by organ systems. Regional anatomy is the study of the body by areas. 3. Surface anatomy uses superficial structures to locate deeper structures, and anatomical imaging is a noninvasive method for examining deep structures. PHYSIOLOGY Physiology is the study of the processes and functions of the body. STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODY 1. The human body can be organized into six levels: chemical, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism. 2. The eleven organ systems are the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, urinary, and reproductive systems. CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE The characteristics of life are organization, metabolism, responsiveness, growth, development, and reproduction. HOMEOSTASIS 1. Homeostasis is the condition in which body functions, body fluids, and other factors of the internal environment are maintained within a range of values suitable to support life. 2. Negative-feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis. 3. Positive-feedback mechanisms make deviations from normal even greater. Although a few positive-feedback mechanisms normally exist in the body, most positive-feedback mechanisms are harmful. BODY POSITION 1. A human standing erect with the face directed forward, the arms hanging to the sides, and the palms facing forward is in the anatomical position. 2. A face-upward position is supine and a face-downward one is prone. DIRECTIONAL TERMS Directional terms always refer to the anatomical position, regardless of the body’s actual position. BODY PARTS AND REGIONS 1. The body can be divided into the head, neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. 2. The abdomen can be divided superficially into four quadrants or nine regions, which are useful for locating internal organs or describing the location of a pain.

The body can be divided into the head, neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. 2. The abdomen can be divided superficially into four quadrants or nine regions, which are useful for locating internal organs or describing the location of a pain. PLANES 1. A sagittal plane divides the body into left and right parts, a transverse plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts, and a frontal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior parts. 2. A longitudinal section divides an organ along its long axis, a transverse section cuts an organ at a right angle to the long axis, and an oblique section cuts across the long axis at an angle other than a right angle. BODY CAVITIES 1. The thoracic cavity is bounded by the ribs and the diaphragm. The mediastinum divides the thoracic cavity into two parts. 2. The abdominal cavity is bounded by the diaphragm and the abdominal muscles. 3. The pelvic cavity is surrounded by the pelvic bones. SEROUS MEMBRANES 1. The trunk cavities are lined by serous membranes. The parietal part of a serous membrane lines the wall of the cavity, and the visceral part covers the internal organs. 2. The serous membranes secrete fluid that fills the space between the parietal and visceral membranes. The serous membranes protect organs from friction. 3. The pericardial cavity surrounds the heart, the pleural cavities surround the lungs, and the peritoneal cavity surrounds certain abdominal and pelvic organs. 4. Mesenteries are parts of the peritoneum that hold the abdominal organs in place and provide a passageway for blood vessels and nerves to organs. 5. Retroperitoneal organs are found “behind” the parietal peritoneum. The kidneys, the adrenal glands, the pancreas, parts of the intestines, and the urinary bladder are examples of retroperitoneal organs.
