Anatomy Chapter 1

Front 1

Distal
( its farther away from body part/point of attachment therefore it is a DISTAnce away)

Back 1

farther from origin of body part or point of attachment of a limb to body trunk.

Front 2

Proximal
(if something is close is aPROXIMAte)

Back 2

Close to origin of body part-part or point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk

Front 3

Superficial
(sUPERficial-has upper in the word)

Back 3

External-toward or at body surface.

Front 4

Lateral
(the farther away from being on time{in the MIDDLE of early and late}you are the LATER you are)

Back 4

away from midline of body- [< | >]

Front 5

Diaphragm

Back 5

muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from abdominopelvic cavity

Front 6

Transverse (cross) section
(the top of the T has a horizontal line and separates the stem of the T (|) and the space above the T. A cross looks like a t)

Back 6

cut made along a horizontal plane, divides into superior & interior.

Front 7

Frontal (coronal) section
(it divides into anterior and posterior. anterior is the FRONT of the body. FrontAL and coronAL end with the same letters)

Back 7

cut made along a lengthwise plane, divides into anterior and posterior.

Front 8

Midsagittal (median) section
(the cut is made down the MEDIAN plane and MID means middle)

Back 8

cut made down median plane of the body. parts are equal.

Front 9

Intermediate
( if you are between expert(lateral) and beginner (medial) you are intermediate)

Back 9

between a more medial and a more lateral structure. >[<|>]<

Front 10

Superior
(if you are ABOVE all the rest you are superior. The head is the crainal cavity and just remember cephalad)

Back 10

Cranial or cephalad-toward the head/upper body.

Front 11

Effector
(for some thing to have a response, something must EFFECT it)

Back 11

provides means for control centers response to stimulus.

Front 12

Medial
(medial means in the middle)

Back 12

toward midline of body, on innerside [>|<]

Front 13

abdominopelvic cavity
(contains abdominal and pelvic cavity and is called the abdominopelvic cavity. abdominals and pelvis are below diaphragm.)

Back 13

cavity inferior (below) diaphragm. Contain abdominal & pelvic cavity.

Front 14

Thoracic cavity

Back 14

separated form rest of ventral cavity by diaphragm, somewhat protected by the rib cage

Front 15

Ventral body cavity

Back 15

contains all structures within the chest and abdomen. ( the thoracic cavity, and { abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity- together form abdominopelvic cavity}

Front 16

Dorsal Body Cavity
*cranial
*spinal
(dorsal fins on fish are on the back of their body and the dorsal body cavity is on the back of our body)

Back 16

2 subdivisions:
_______cavity- space inside the skull.

_______cavity-extends from cranial cavity to almost end of vertebral column

Front 17

Inferior
(if something is inferior to something else, it is lower than they are.)

Back 17

Caudal-away from head or toward lower part of a structure or body part.

Front 18

Mediastinum
( its BETWEEN (in the MIDDLE of) the thoracic cavity and the lungs)

Back 18

region of thoracic cavity between the lungs
