divides the body or organ into superior and inferior portions
|
|
|
Diaphragm
|
a dome-shaped muscle that powers breathing and separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity
|
|
|
Frontal Plane
|
divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior portions
|
|
|
Parasagittal Plane
|
if a sagittal plane does not pass through the midline but instead divides the body or organ into unequal right and left sides.
|
|
|
Midsagittal Plane
|
when a plane passes through the midline of the body or organ and divides it into equal right and left sides.
|
|
|
Planes
|
imaginary flat surfaces that pass through the body parts.
|
|
|
Oblique Plane
|
passes through the body or organ at an angle between a transverse plane and a sagittal plane or between a transverse plane and frontal plane.
|
|
|
Viscera
|
organs inside the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
|
|
|
Abdominopelvic Regions
|
tick-tack-toe grid that partitiion the abdominopelvic cavity into 9 smaller compartments.
|
|
|
Quandrants
|
one horizontal and one vertical line passing through the umbilicus that divide the abdominopelvic cavity into 4 parts.
|
|
|
Sagittal Planes
|
a vertical plane that divides the body or an organ into right and left sides.
|
|
|
Pelvic Cavity
|
contains urinart bladder, portions of large intestine, and internal organs of reproduction.
|
|
|
Abdominopelvic Cavity
|
subdivided into abdominal and pelvic cavities.
|
|
|
Pleural Cavity
|
each surrounds a lung; the serous membrane of each ________ is the pleura.
|
|
|
Thoracic Cavity
|
chest cavity; contains pleural and pericardial cavity and mediastinum.
|
|
|
Integumentary System Components
|
-hair
-skin and associated glands -fingernails and toenails |
|
|
Skeletal System Components
|
-bone

|
Skeletal System Functions
|
-support and protects the body
-provides specific area for muscle attachments, assists with body movements, stores cells that produce blood cells, and stores minerals and lipids. |
|
|
Cardiovascular System Functions
|
-heart pumps blood through blood vessels; blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells, and helps regulate acidity, temperature, and water content of body fluids; blood components help defend against disease and mend damaged blood vessels.
|
|
|
Cardiovascular System Components
|
-heart
-blood vessels: -artery -vein |
|
|
Lymphatic System and Immunity Functions
|
returns proteins and fluid to blood; carries lipids from gastrointestinal tract to blood; contains sites of maturation and proliferation of B cells and T cells that protect against disease-causing microbes.
|
|
|
Abdominal Cavity
|
contains stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and most of the large intestine.
|
|
|
Mediastinum
|
central portion of thoracic cavity between the lungs; extends from sternum to vertebral column and from first rib to diaphragm; contains heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea, and several large blood vessels.
|
|
|
Pericardial Cavity
|
surrounds the heart; the serous membrane of the ________ is the pericardium.
|
|
|
Vertical Canal
|
formed by vertebral column and contains spinal cord and the beginings of spinal nerves.
|
|
|
Cranial Cavity
|
formed by cranial bone and contains brain.
|
|
|
Integumentary System Functions
|
-helps regulate body temp.
-protects the body -eliminates some wastes -helps make vitamin D detects sensations such as touch, pressure, pain, warmth, and cold. |
|
|

|
body movements; walking, maintains posture, and produces heat.
|
|
|
Lymphatic System and Immunity Components
|
-thymus
-thoracic duct -tonsil -spleen -lymph node -lymphatic vessels |
|
|
Endocrine System Components
|
-thymus
-adrenal gland -ovary -testis -pineal gland -pituitary gland -thyroid gland -pancreas |
|
|
Muscular System Component
|
Skeletal Muscles (usually attaches to bone)
|
|
|
Endocrine System Functions
|
control system that regulates body activities through hormones transported by the blood to various target organs.
