QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉ sagittal plane
( anatomical plane). Answer: passes vertically through body or an
organ and divides it into right and left portions
◉ frontal ( A.K.A coronal). Answer: extends vertically but is
perpendicular to the sagittal plane and divides body or organ into
anterior and posterior portions
◉ transverse (horizontal). Answer: passes across the body or an
organ perpendicular to its long axis and divides it into superior and
inferior portions
◉ ventral. Answer: toward front or belly
◉ dorsal. Answer: toward the back or spine
◉ cephalic. Answer: toward the head or superior end
,◉ superior. Answer: above
◉ inferior. Answer: below
◉ posterior/dorsal. Answer: toward the back
◉ medial. Answer: toward the midline or median plane
◉ lateral. Answer: farther away from the midline or median plane
◉ superficial. Answer: closer to the body surface
◉ deep. Answer: farther from the body surface
◉ proximal. Answer: closer to the point of attachment or origin
◉ distal. Answer: farther from the point of attachment or origin
◉ ((body regions))
axial region. Answer: consists of the head, neck (cervical region),
and trunk. is further divided into the thoracic region above the
diaphragm and the abdominal region below it.
, ◉ appendicular region. Answer: consists of the upper and lower
limbs (also called the appendages or extremities).
The upper limb includes the arm (brachial region), forearm
(antebrachial region), wrist (carpal region), hand (manual region),
and fingers (digits).
The lower limb includes the thigh (femoral region), leg (crural
region), ankle (tarsal region), foot (pedal region), and toes (digits).
◉ microscope. Answer: pg 9-14 parts/function
◉ cranial cavity. Answer: contains the brain. The vertebral canal
contains the spinal cord.
◉ thoracic cavity. Answer: above the diaphragm and the
abdominopelvic cavity is below it.
◉ heart. Answer: located in the pericardial cavity. The heart is
enfolded in a two-layered membrane called the pericardium. The
visceral pericardium forms the external
surface of the heart itself and the parietal pericardium (pericardial
sac) lines the inside of the cavity wall.
