Summary

This chapter provides an introductory overview of human anatomy, covering fundamental concepts like anatomical position, body planes, and directional terms. It also details the different body regions and cavities. Specific content on cavities includes the cranial, vertebral, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities, as well as the membranes associated with them.

The Anatomic Position Just stand up and put your palms out Provides common reference Standing upright Feet parallel and on the floor Head level and looking forward Arms at sides Palms facing forward Thumbs pointing away from body Figure 1.4 (a) © McGraw Hill 2 Anatomic Position and Body Planes splits front and back splits top and bottom splits right and left Figure 1.5 (a) ©McGraw-Hill Education/Joe DeGrandis, photographer;

contains two cavities divided by pelvic brim of hip bones Abdominal cavity: superior to pelvic brim Pelvic cavity: inferior to pelvic brim © McGraw Hill 9 Body Cavities Figure 1.9 Access the text alternative for slide images. © McGraw Hill 10 Ventral Body Cavity Membranes Ventral cavities are lined by serous membranes Divided into two continuous parts (layers): Parietal layer: lines internal surface of the body wall Visceral layer: covers external surface of specific organs Between layers is serous cavity with serous fluid Reduces friction between moving organs © McGraw Hill 11 Membranes of Thoracic Cavity Median space in thoracic cavity = mediastinum Contains heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea, major vessels Pericardium: serous membranes around heart Parietal pericardium, pericardial cavity, visceral pericardium Pleura: serous membranes around lungs Parietal pleura, pleural cavity, visceral pleura © McGraw Hill 12 Membranes of Abdominopelvic Cavity Peritoneum: serous membranes around many abdominal organs Parietal peritoneum: lines internal walls of abdominopelvic cavity Peritoneal cavity: potential space with serous fluid Visceral peritoneum: covers surface of most digestive organs © McGraw Hill 13 Abdominopelvic Regions and Quadrants Imaginary divisions to help accurately describe the locations of organs within the abdominopelvic cavity © McGraw Hill 14 Nine Abdominopelvic Regions Middle column: Epigastric region Umbilical region Hypogastric region Right and left hypochondriac regions Right and left lumbar regions Right and left iliac regions Figure 1.11 (a) © McGraw Hill 15 Four Abdominopelvic Quadrants Right upper quadrant Left upper quadrant Right lower quadrant Left lower quadrant © McGraw Hill 16 Medical Imaging Procedures 1 Radiography X-rays passed through body, absorbed by dense areas (e.g., bone) that appear lighter in the film © McGraw Hill ©HT-Pix/Getty Images 17 Medical Imaging Procedures 2 Ultrasound VERY SAFE Ultrasound waves passed through body by transducer; receives signals from ultrasound waves reflecting off internal body structures © McGraw Hill ©flik47/iStock/Getty Images 18 Medical Imaging Procedures Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) Three-dimensional X-ray technique used to view blood vessels © McGraw Hill ©Science Photo Library/Alamy Stock Photo 19 Medical Imaging Procedures Computed tomography (CT) TOMO- MEANS TO CUT Low-intensity X-rays passed through body from many angles; computer reconstructs three-dimensional image © McGraw Hill ©Callista Images/Image Source 20 Medical Imaging Procedures 5 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Use of electromagnet to affect position and energy of hydrogen atoms Energy release rates analyzed by computer to give image © McGraw Hill ©Julie Toy/Getty Images 21 Medical Imaging Procedures Positron emission tomography (PET) Radiolabeled glucose used to analyze metabolic state of a tissue/organ LIGHTING UP BECAUSE IT HAS ENERGY/ PICKING UP THE NURONS BULIDING ENERGY © McGraw Hill ©Hank Morgan/Science Source 22
