coronal plane (frontal plane)

vertical division of the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) portions

sagittal plane

divides the body into left and right portions

supine position

lying on back, facing upward

superior

higher on the body, nearer to the head

brachial region

upper arm (shoulder to elbow)

posterior cervical region

back of neck

lower limb

leg; gluteal region (buttock), femoral region (thigh), leg, and foot (including ankle)

foot region

lower limb (distal end); heel, dorsum, sole, metatarsal, and digits (toes)

knee region

lower limb (middle)

upper limb

arms and hands

femoral region

thigh region; subdivision of lower limb

visceral layer of serous pericardium

outer layer of muscular wall of heart

dorsum of hand

back of hand

gluteal region

hip and buttock

hand region

upper limb (distal end); metacarpal, palm, dorsum, and digits (fingers)

head

skull and face; superior to neck region

vertebral canal

contains the spinal cord

abdominopelvic regions

nine specific anatomic areas of the abdominopelvic cavity

talocrural region

ankle region

transverse plane

horizontal line that divides the body into upper and lower sections

median plane

divides the body into equal left and right halves

parietal pluera

lines the thoracic cavity

the breasts are associated with which system?

reproductive system

pulmonary region

lungs

diaphragm

primary muscle of respiration

cardiovascular system

heart and blood vessels

proximal

closer to trunk or origin of a structure (signs pointing upwards on image)

thoracic cavity

cavity housing lungs and heart

anterior leg region

leg (anterior)

the male reproductive system is associated with which system?

reproductive system

the uterus is associated with which system?

reproductive system

parietal layer of serous pericardium

thin, serous membrane fused to inner surface of fibrous pericardium

posterior

toward the back

deep

away from the surface (pointing inside the body on image)

right upper quadrant

liver, right kidney, colon, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestines

lateral

away from the midline, to the side (pointing out on image); opposite of medial

distal

away from the point of attachment (pointing down on image)

respiratory system

brings oxygen into the body; gets rid of carbon dioxide.

the spinal cord is associated with which system?

nervous system

medial

toward the midline; opposite of lateral

oblique plane

divides body at an angle (diagonal)

pericardial cavity

surrounds the heart
