Transverse Plane (section)/ Cross Section |
Divides the body into superior and interior sections. -A cut in this plane is called a transverse section or cross section |
|
Frontal Plane (Coronal Plane) |
Divides body into anterior and posterior |

Body Cavities |
Body cavities are where the vital organs are suspended in internal chambers. -Functions: Protect delicate organs, and permit changes in the size and shape of internal organs. |
|
Dorsal Body Cavity |
Cranial Cavity Spinal Cavity |
|
Ventral Body Cavity |
-Heart, lungs, kidneys, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, etc. -Two cavities sepereated by the diaphram- Thoracic cavity: superior to diaphragm Abdominopelvic cavity: inferior to diaphragm. |
|
Viscera |
General term for all organs |
|
Serous Membrane |
A fluid filled sac. -Pleura: surrounds lungs -Pericardial: surrounds heart -Peritoneum: surrounds abdomen pelvic region.
-Layer of serous membrane closer to the organ is called visceral. Layer farther away is parietal. |
|
