Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
The Human Body: An OrientationAnatomical Position
Standard anatomical body position Always use directional terms as if body is in anatomical position
Right and left refer to body being viewed, not those of observer
Regional Terms
Two major divisions of body
Axial Appendicular Regional terms designate specific areas within body divisions
Anatomical Variability
Body Planes and Sections
Body plane
SectionsBody Planes
Three most common
1. Sagittal Plane
2. Frontal (coronal) plane3. Transverse (horizontal) planeOblique section
Body Cavities
Two sets of internal body cavities
1. Dorsal Body Cavity
2. Ventral Body Cavity
Membranes in Ventral Body Cavity
4. Serous Membranes
5. Abdominopelvic Quadrants
Abdominopelvic Regions
Other Body Cavities
