1. Basics of Anatomy and Physiology
Amy L. Beard

2. Levels of Organization

3. Body Cavities – not the ones in your teeth
Dorsal Cavity – Cranial Cavity and Vertebral Canal
Ventral Cavity – Thoracic Cavity, Diaphragm and Abdominopelvic Cavity
Oral Cavity
Nasal Cavity
Orbital Cavities
Middle Ear Cavities

4. More Cavities Abdominopelvic Cavity – Abdominal and Pelvic Cavities
Synovial Cavity – surrounds freely moveable joints

5. Pictures of Cavities – How many faces do you see?

7. What organs belong to which cavity?
Thoracic Cavity – Heart, lungs
Abdominal Cavity – Stomach, liver, spleen, gall bladder, kidneys, most of small and large intestines
Pelvic Cavity - Terminal portion of the large intestine, urinary bladder, internal reproductive organs

9. Ventral Cavity Cranial Cavity Diaphragm Abdominal Cavity Pelvic Cavity
Pericardial Cavity
Pleural Cavity
Mediastinum
Thoracic Cavity
Vertebral Canal

10. Dorsal Cavity Cranial Cavity Diaphragm Pelvic Cavity Abdominal Cavity

11. Body Planes Sagittal Transverse Coronal - Frontal Oblique

12. Body Sections Axial – Head, Neck and Trunk
Appendicular – Upper and Lower Limbs

13. Relative Positions
Anatomical Position – Standing erect, face and plams are facing forward

14. Protective Membranes
Serosa (serous membrane) – covers the walls of the ventral cavity and the outer sufraces of organs
Parietal Serosa – lines the cavity walls – this folds on itself to form the Visceral Serosa, covering the organs in the cavity
Serous fluid – separates serous membranes – not air
