Anatomical position• Body upright with feet together

• Arms at side with palms forward

The anatomical position is the common visual reference point.

Superficial: Toward or at the

body surface

Deep: Away from the body surface;

more internal

Superior: Toward the head or upper part

of the body

Inferior : Away from the head or

toward the lower part of the body

Anterior: Toward or at the front of the body; (ventral)

Posterior: Toward the back of the body; behind (dorsal)

Medial Toward or at the midline of the body

Lateral Away from the midline of the body

IntermediateBetween medial and

lateral structures

Proximal: Closer to the origin of the body part, or the point of attachment of a limb to the

body trunk Distal: Farther from the

origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the

body trunk

The body is often sectioned (cut) along a flat surface called a plane.

The most common body planes are sagittal, frontal and transverse which are at right angles to each other.

The frontal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior sections• Also called a

coronal when referencing the head.

A transverse plane runs horizontally and divides the body into superior and inferior sections.

Transverse sections are also called cross sections.

The sagittal plane lies vertically and divides the body into right and left parts.

The sagittal plane lies exactly at midline and is also referred to as the median or midsagittal plane.

1) Joseph runs up the ramp to science class and gives Ms. Fine a high five! Does he contact the anterior or posterior side of his hand with Ms. Fine?

2) Ms. Fine passes back Blanca’s unit test during science class. Blanca has earned an A and Ms. Fine is so proud of her! She extends her fist out for a fist bump to celebrate. Does Blanca contact the anterior or posterior side of her hand for the fist bump?

3. Zoe runs up the stairs to science class. She is moving through the body plane.

4. Ernie arrives on time to science class and shakes Ms. Fine’s hand. This handshake is moving through the

plane. 5. Keith is seated in his assigned seat and rotates in his

seat to get out his iPad from his backpack. This rotation is movement through the plane.

Notes: Body Cavities (spaces to be filled)Directions: Glue in this picture and take notes.

Dorsal body cavity divided into 2 sections.

1.cranial cavity which holds the brain

2.vertebral cavity which holds the spinal cord

The ventral body cavity holds the internal organs

The ventral body cavity is divided into the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities

The thoracic cavity is surrounded by the ribs and muscles of the chest

It is further divided into• plueral

cavities• mediastinu

m• pericardial

Directions: Work in your elbow partner to complete 4 activities.

Objective AP 2.1 Explain the anatomical

position and the terms that describe relative positions, body planes, and body regions.

DIRECTIONS: 1. You will work with an elbow

partner to complete the activity

2. The completion of this activity is your EXIT SLIP!
