1. What two cavities make up the dorsal body cavity?
Catalyst questions
What two cavities make up the dorsal body cavity?
What organs are contained in each?
What organs are in the abdominal cavities? What three cavities branch from the thoracic cavity?

2. Let’s Review… 1. Cranial cavity and vertebral cavity
Cranial contains the cranium and the brain
Vertebral contains the vertebral column and the spinal cord
2. digestive organs, spleen, kidney, and ureters
3. The right, left, and medial (mediastinum)

3. Class update
Today is very content heavy, so your test will be NEXT Monday
Binder checks will occur at the same time.
However, new material will be introduced on Thursday, but not be responsible for it on the test.

4. Anatomical directions/Body Regions

5. Today’s objective
SWBAT illustrate the directional terms that refer to the body using correct anatomical terminology.

6. Anatomical Positon
Just like we would orient ourselves to refer to N,S,E and W.
The is a stance in which a person stands erect with feet flat on the floor, arms at the sides, and the palms, face, and eyes facing forward.
This position should be assumed unless stated otherwise,

Planes
Median (through the midline) and Sagittal (same plane, but to the left or right of median
Frontal or Coronal divides body into anterior and posterior sections
Transverse / Cross divides body into superior and inferior sections
Oblique: Other than at a right angle

Longitudinal: cut along the length of an organ
Transverse/Cross: cut at right angle to length of the organ
Oblique: cut at any but a right angle

Direction terms
Other Body Positions
Supine: lying face upward
Prone: lying face downward
Directional Terms
Superior (Cephalic) vs. Inferior (Caudal) toward or away from the head
Medial vs. Lateral relative to the midline
Proximal vs. Distal used to describe linear structures
Superficial vs. Deep relative to the surface of the body

Directional Terms (cont.)
Anterior (Ventral) vs. Posterior (Dorsal). Anterior is forward; posterior is toward the back.

11. So much Vocabulary!
Let’s make sure we’ve got this

12. Why is this important?
Knowledge of external anatomy, direction, and landmarks of the body is important in performing a physical examination, clinical procedures, and in anatomy class!

13. For this first time, let’s define them together.

16. Partner work
Have one partner quiz another and the other will have to point to where it is on the body.

17. Individual work
Label parts on the body then add it to EVEN pages in your interactive notebook

18. Make note cards of the directional/body regions. Study!
Homework
Make note cards of the directional/body regions.
Study!
I will be checking the notecards for a grade next class.
