  1. Anatomical Terminology Section 1.7

  2. Do Now • Try your best to write a sentence for each of the following words. When possible, use anatomical parts in the sentence. - Anterior - Posterior - Superior - Inferior - Dorsal - Ventral -

  3. Objectives • To explain relative body positions and be able to use them in describing body parts. • To identify the 3 types of body planes. • To locate the different body regions.

  4. “Anatomical Position” • Body is standing erect • Upper limbs at sides • Palms forward

  5. Relative positions • 1. Superior: • “above” • Ex: your nose is superior to your mouth • 2. Inferior: • “below” • Ex: your mouth is inferior to your nose

  6. Relative positions • 3. Anterior/ventral: • “in front” • Ex: your eyes are anterior to your brain • 4. Posterior/dorsal: • “in back” • Ex: the pharynx is posterior to the oral cavity

  7. Relative positions • 5.Medial: • Closer to the center of the body • Ex: your nose is medial to your eyes • 6. Lateral: • Farther away from the center of the body • Ex: your ears are lateral to your eyes

  8. Relative positions • 7. Proximal: • body part that is closer to a point of attachment to the trunk than another body part. • Ex: the elbow is proximal to the wrist • 8. Distal: • Body part that is farther from a point of attachment to the trunk than another body part. • Ex: the fingers are distal to the wrist

  9. Relative positions • 9. Superficial: • Near the surface • Ex: your epidermis is the most superficial layer of skin. “superficial wound” is on this surface. • 10. Deep: • Describes parts that are more internal than superficial parts. • Ex: the dermis is the deep layer of skin. A “deep wound” would be more problematic and possibly require stitches.

  10. Other similar terms • 11.Cranial: • Toward the skull/head • 12.Caudal: • Toward the tail • 13. Ipsilateral: • on the same side • 14. Contralateral: • on the opposite side

  11. Other similar terms • 15. Prone: • Lying down facing down (on your stomach) • 16. Supine: • Lying down facing up (on your back)

  12. Body sections • 1. Saggital • Divides body into left and right portions lengthwise • 2. Transverse • Divides body into superior and inferior portions • 3. Coronal • Divides body into anterior and posterior portions

  13. Guess the Planes:coronal, sagittal, or transverse?

  14. Body Sections and Planes • Cylindrical Object • Bone or organ • A) Cross section • B) Oblique section • C) Longitudinal section

  15. Body regions • Terms describing different areas of the body… • Fill the terms in on your diagram as we go through them! 1. Abdominal- region between thorax and pelvis 2. Acromial- point of the shoulder 3. Antebrachial- forearm 4. Antecubital- space in front of the elbow 5. Axillary- armpit 6. Brachial- arm 7. Buccal- cheek 8. Carpal- wrist 9. Celiac- abdomen

Oral- mouth 29. Orbital- eye cavity 30. Otic- ear 31. Palmar- palm of hand 32. Patellar- front of knee 33. Pectoral- chest

  18. Body regions continued 34. Pedal- foot 35. Pelvic- pelvis 36. Perineal- region between anus and external reproductive organs. 37. Plantar- sole of foot 38. Popliteal- area behind knee 39. Sacral- posterior region between hip bones 40. Scapular- shoulder blade 41. Sternal- middle of thorax, anteriorly (sternum) 42. Tarsal- instep of foot 43. Umbilical- navel 44.

  19. Body regions continued *The next terms are NOT in your textbook but you are still responsible for them. 45. Hallux- big toe 46. Pollex- thumb 47. Calcaneus- heel bone 48. Sural- calf 49. Fibular (peroneal)- side of lower leg 50. Manual- hand

  20. Anterior view (Front)

  21. Posterior view(Back)

  22. Abdominal region • The abdominal region can be separated even further.
