  • Body _____

anatomical position

• ____ _____, is that of the body standing upright, with the feet at shoulder width and parallel, toes forward. The upper limbs are held out to each side, and the palms of the hands face forward as illustrated.

anterior

• For example, a scar in the “anterior (front) carpal (wrist) region” would be present on the palm side of the wrist. The term “_____” would be used even if the hand were palm down on a table.

prone

• A body that is lying down is described as either ____ (face down)

supine

• or _____ (face up).

cells

- tissues are similar cells funtioning together

-tissues work together to form organs —> organ systems

human body levels of org

-atoms - p + n (nucleus) & e -

-elements: cannot be broken down , made of atoms

molecules

human body levels of org

• The nucleus in the cell controls reproduction (cell division) and the overall function.  The nuclear region contains rod-like genetic structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of the DNA molecules that contain the body’s genes, and each chromosome contains about _______ genes.

somatic cell

• A _____ _____ is any cell in the body except the gametes (sex cells). Somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes arranged into 23  pairs. There are 22 identical pairs of chromosomes (autosomes), plus an additional pair. In a typical female, this remaining pair consists of XX chromosomes. In a typical male, this pair consists of an XY chromosome pair.

sex cell

• A ___ _____ (sperm or egg), also known as a gamete, is the only type of cell that does not contain 46 chromosomes. Instead, each ovum (egg) or sperm has 23 single chromosomes. In a female, one of these will be an X chromosome. In a male, one of these will be either an X or a Y chromosome. When a sperm and ovum join, the newly formed offspring receives 23 chromosomes from each parent, for a total of 46. It is the X or Y chromosome from the father that determines the sex of the child.

planes

the body _____

-aligned to body in anatomical position

-use forum for radiology imaging

frontal

• vertical planes (1) The _____ plane which divides the body into a front and back portion. Routine chest x-rays are shot from this direction

sagittal

• vertical planes (2) The _____ plane divides the body lengthwise into a left and right side.  Lateral chest x-rays are taken from this view

transverse

The Horizontal Plane (1)

• The ______ plane is a horizontal plane that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions. A transverse plane can be at the waist or at any other level across the body.  This plane is utilized in computed tomography (CT scans)

anterior

• _____ means situated in the front. It also means on the front or forward part of an organ (anter means front or before, and -ior means pertaining to). For example, the stomach is located anterior to (in front of) the pancreas. Anterior is also used in reference to the ventral surface of the body.

posterior

• _____ means situated in the back. It also means on the back part of an organ (poster = back or toward the back, and -ior = pertaining to). For example, the pancreas is located posterior to (behind) the stomach. The term posterior is also used in reference to the dorsal surface of the body.

superior

means uppermost, above, or toward the head. For example, the lungs are located superior to (above) the diaphragm

proximal

______ means situated nearest the midline or beginning of a body structure. For example, the proximal end of the humerus (bone of the upper arm) forms part of the shoulder

medial

______ means the direction toward, or nearer, the midline. For example, the medial ligament of the knee is near the inner  surface of the leg

inferior

______ means lowermost, below, or toward the feet. For example, the stomach is located inferior to (below) the diaphragm

caudal

_____ means toward the lower part of the body (caud means tail or lower part of the body, and -al means pertaining to)

Distal

____ means situated farthest from the midline or beginning of a body structure. For example, the distal end of the humerus forms part of the elbow

lateral

_____ means the direction toward, or nearer, the side of the body, i.e. away from the midline. For example, the lateral ligament of the knee is by the side of the leg. Bilateral means relating to, or having two sides

body cavities

• The body maintains its internal organization by means of membranes, sheaths, and other structures that separate compartments

• One way to divide the body and study the organ positions is by using the _____ ______

dorsal, ventral

• The _____ (posterior) cavity and the ______ (anterior) cavity are the largest body compartments.

• These cavities contain and protect delicate internal organs

ventral

• The _____ cavity allows for significant changes in the size and shape of the organs as they perform their functions.

• The lungs, heart, stomach, and intestines, for example, can expand and contract without distorting other tissues or disrupting the activity of nearby organs.

cranial

• The dorsal and ventral cavities are subdivided into five spaces or cavities in which the organs are located.

• Dorsal cavities
  

  • The _____ cavity is located within the skull, surrounds and protects the brain and the pituitary gland. Cranial means pertaining to the skull

spinal

• The dorsal and ventral cavities are subdivided into five spaces or cavities in which the organs are located.

• Dorsal cavities

  • The _____ cavity is located within the spinal column, surrounds and protects the spinal cord

thoracic

• The ventral cavity is located along the front of the body, contains the body organs that sustain homeostasis: the processes through which the body maintains a constant internal environment (home/o means constant, and -stasis means control).

• The ventral cavity is divided into the following portions:
  

  • The _____ cavity- chest cavity (thorax) surrounds and protects the lungs, heart, esophagus, and trachea. The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities

abdominal

• The ventral cavity is located along the front of the body, contains the body organs that sustain homeostasis: the processes through which the body maintains a constant internal environment (home/o means constant, and -stasis means control).

• The ventral cavity is divided into the following portions:

  • The _____ cavity- (the abdomen) contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, pancreas, and gall bladder.

pelvic

• The ventral cavity is located along the front of the body, contains the body organs that sustain homeostasis: the processes through which the body maintains a constant internal environment (home/o means constant, and -stasis means control).

• The ventral cavity is divided into the following portions:

  • The _____ cavity- contains the urinary bladder, female reproductive structures, and lower parts of intestines
