3. Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT3 THE BODY PLANES  Describe the relationship of one part to another  Imaginary lines drawn through various parts to separate into sections

4. Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT4 THE BODY PLANES  The transverse horizontal (top and bottom)‏ –Parts above=superior –Parts below=inferior –Towards the head=cranial –Towards the sacrum=caudal

5. Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT5 THE BODY PLANES  The midsagittal or median (vertical R/L) –Parts close to mid = medial –Parts close to side = lateral

6. Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT6 THE BODY PLANES  The frontal or coronal  vertical (front/back) –Front = ventral or anterior –Back = dorsal or posterior front back

7. Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT7 THE BODY PLANES  Proximal and Distal –Used to describe locations of extremities in relation to the main trunk  Proximal –Close to  Distal –Distant from

8. Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT8 THE BODY CAVITIES Spaces within the body that contain vital organs  Dorsal (back) 1 continuous cavity –Cranial –Spinal  Ventral (front) 2 separate cavities separated by the diaphragm –Thoracic (chest) contains heart lungs and large vessels –Abdominal Upper contains Stomach, Small Intestine, most of Large Intestine, Gall Bladder, Pancreas & Spleen Lower (pelvic) contains Urinary Bladder, Reproductive organs, & Last of Large Intestine

9. Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT9 THE BODY CAVITIES  The 3 small cavities: –Orbital (eyes) –Nasal (nose structures) –Buccal (mouth)
