BIOD 151 Completed Labs BIOD 151 Completed Labs Lab 1 ● Lab Safety ○ Keep the area safe ○ Loose or stray items away from the lab ○ Keep the pathways clear ○ Keeping specimen and equipment safely secured on the table ○ Do not use any equipment not authorized to use ○ Do not remove any equipment or lab specimens from the lab ■ These specimen need a well ventilated area to be studied in ○ All chemicals need to be disposed of properly ○ No food and drink in the lab ○ Always know where the safety equipment is ■ Eye wash station ■ Sharps container ○ Protecting ourselves from hazards ■ Tie hair back ■ Protective eye goggles ■ Latex gloves ● Reviewing Anatomical Terms ○ Anatomical Position - looking at the body standing erect, feet flat on the floor, arms at our sides, palms, eyes and face all facing forward ■ Thoroughly and efficiently describe areas of the body ○ Sagittal plane - divides the body in left and right halves ■ Midsagital plane - dividing the body into equal left and right halves ■ Parasagital plane - dividing the body into left and right halves by unequal ○ Frontal plane - (coronal plane) divides the body into front and back halves ■ Anterior and posterior halves ○ Transverse plane - divides the body into upper and lower body parts ■ Traveling through the mid section dividing into upper and lower half ○ Anterior - something towards the front or the belly of an individual or animal ■ Ventral - towards the front ■ Example: sternum is anterior to the heart ○ Posterior - something towards the back or towards the spinal cord ■ Dorsal - towards the back ■ Example : spinal cord is dorsal to the heart ○ Superior - anything above or towards the head ○ Inferior - something towards the feet ○ Medial - closer to the midline ○ Lateral - further away from the midline ○ Proximal - closer to a point of attachment ○ Distal - something further away from the point of attachment ○ Superficial - closer to the body surface ○ Deep - further from the body surface ○ Prone - lying on their belly face down ○ Supine - lying on their back with their face up ● Surface Anatomy - studying a body clinically or in a lab setting ; we observe the surface first ● Body is divided into regions to study it more specifically ○ Axial region ■ Head, neck, trunk ■ Waist up is axial ■ Trunk ● Thoracic - any region above the diaphragm (base of the rib cage) ● Abdominal region - anything below level of diaphragm ○ Abdominal 4 quadrants ○ Upper R and Lower L
