1 Directional Terms How do you get someone where you want them to go?

2 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology. 2. Define the term anatomical position. 3. Label the common body planes. 4. Match the directional terms used in anatomy to their correct descriptions. 5. Describe the locating terms used in anatomy. 6. Describe the body positions. 7. List the general regions of the body. 8. State the contents of the major body cavities. 9. Label the quadrants of the abdominopelvic cavity. 10. Match the major abdominopelvic organs to their correct quadrant locations. 11. Label the regions of the abdomen. 12. List the major body structures in order of increasing complexity. 13. Match the major organ systems to their correct functions. 14. List the major organs and structures in each of the major organ systems. 15. Practice critical thinking: use directional terms to describe surgical incisions. (Assignment Sheet 1) 16. Define medical terms. (Assignment Sheet 2) 17. Construct a model of an organ of the human body. (Assignment Sheet 3)

3 Definitions 1. Anatomy (uh-nat ́-uh-me)—The scientific study of the structure of an organism 2. Physiology (fiz-e-awl ́-uh-je)—The scientific study of the functions of an organism

8 Directional Terms

9 Superior (su-pir ́-e-uhr)—More toward the head Example: The knee is superior to the ankle. Inferior (in-fir ́-e-uhr)—Farther from the head Example: The wrist is inferior to the elbow. Anterior (an-tir ́-e-uhr)—More toward the front of the body Example: The nose is anterior to the ears. Posterior (paw-stir ́-e-uhr)—More toward the backside of the body Example: The heel is posterior to the toes.

11 Proximal (prawk ́-suh-muhl)—Nearer to a point of reference Example: The neck is proximal to the head as compared to the stomach. Distal (dis ́-tuhl)—Farther from a point of reference Example: The elbow is distal to the hand as compared to the wrist. Medial (med ́-e-uhl)—Closer to the midline of the body Example: The eyes are medial as compared to the ears. Lateral (lat ́-uh-ruhl)—Farther from the midline of the body Example: The hips are lateral as compared to the navel.

12 Deep (dep ́)—Away from the surface Example: The kidneys are deep. Superficial (su-puhr-fish ́-uhl)—Near the surface Example: A rash of the skin is superficial. Central (sen ́-truhl)—At or near the middle Example: The nose is central on the face. Peripheral (puh-rif ́-uh-ruhl)—At or near the edge Example: The toes are peripheral to the foot.

13 Parietal (puh-ri ́-uht-uhl)—At the wall of a body cavity Example: The mucosa that line most body cavities are parietal. Visceral (vis ́-uh-ruhl)—Within a body cavity Example: Most internal organs are visceral.

19 Cephalic (suh-fal ́-ik)—Referring to the head ✔ Note: Another term for cephalic is cranial (kra ́-ne-uhl). 2. Caudal (kawd ́-uhl)—Referring to the tail or tail end of a structure 3. Palmar (pal ́-muhr)—Referring to the palm of the hand 4. Plantar (plant ́-uhr)—Referring to the sole of the foot

20 Body Positions Erect: standing or upright Supine: lying down with face up Prone: lying down on stomach

22 Thoracic cavity is subdivided into pleural cavities- each houses a lung the mediastinum, contains the pericardial cavity, and surrounds the remaining thoracic organs pericardial cavity encloses the heart
