Transverse plane correct answers Horizontal plane that divides the body into the top and bottom
Coronal plane correct answers Vertical plane that divides the body into front and back sections
Sagittal plane correct answers Plane that divides the body into left and right sections
Cephalic correct answers Toward the head -same as superior for a human
Caudal correct answers Toward the tail -same as inferior for a human
Dorsal correct answers Toward the back - same as posterior for a human
Ventral correct answers Toward the belly -same as anterior for a human
Superior correct answers Above or toward the head
Inferior correct answers Below or toward the feet
Distal correct answers Farther from the trunk or origin
Proximal correct answers Closer to the trunk or origin
Superficial correct answers Toward or on the surface
Deep or internal correct answers Away from the surface
,Anterior or ventral correct answers Toward the front or toward the belly
Posterior or dorsal correct answers Toward the rear or toward the back
Medial correct answers Toward the midline
Lateral correct answers Toward the side
Cephalic correct answers Head
Orbital correct answers Eye
Nasal correct answers Nose
Buccal correct answers Cheek
Oral correct answers Mouth
Cervical correct answers Neck
Brachial correct answers Arm
Carpal correct answers Wrist
Manual correct answers Hand
Digital correct answers Finger or toe
,Crural correct answers Legs
Coxal correct answers Hip
Femoral correct answers Upper leg
Pedal correct answers Feet
Thoracic correct answers Below the neck and above the abdomen
Abdominal correct answers Between the chest and the pelvis
Pelvic correct answers Around the pelvis
Inguinal correct answers Groin
Dorsal correct answers Back
Vertebral correct answers Along center line of back
Lumbar correct answers Lower back
Sacral correct answers Base of the spine
Dorsal region correct answers Region of the body along the back. 2 major cavities - the cranial
cavity and the vertebral canal (spinal cavity)
, Cranial cavity correct answers Contains the brain and is enclosed by the skull
Vertebral canal correct answers Contains the spinal cord and is enclosed by the bones that
compose the spinal column also known as the spinal cavity
Ventral cavities correct answers Located in the front of the body and contain most of the internal
organs. 3 major cavities - thoracic, abdominal and pelvic.
Thoracic cavity correct answers Contains the lungs and heart and is enclosed by the rib cage. The
thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm
Abdominal cavity correct answers Contains most of the digestive organs - stomach, liver,
pancreas, intestines - and some of the urinary structures - the kidney and the ureters. The upper
boundary is the diaphragm and the lower boundary is the brim of the pelvis (landmark of the
pelvis bones)
Pelvic cavity correct answers Contains the bladder, anus and reproductive organs and is enclosed
by the pelvis
Abdominopelvic cavity correct answers Since there is no anatomical division between the 2
cavities they are occasionally referred to as 1 region
Homeostasis correct answers The dynamic physiological process that helps people maintain an
internal environment suitable for normal function
Feedback loop correct answers A system used to control the level of a variable in which there is
an identifiable receptor (sensor) control center (integrator or comparator) effectors, and methods
of communication
