The Language of Anatomy
Name:
Lab Time/Date: BIO201A Anatomy and Physiology Lab 1, Week 1,
Regional Terms
1) Describe completely the standard human anatomical position.
The body is erect, with the feet only slightly apart, head and toes pointed
forward, and arms hanging at the sides with palms facing forward.
2) Use the regional terms to correctly label the body regions indicated on the figures below.
Directional Terms, Planes, and Sections
3. Define plane: Imaginary sections made through the body wall or through an organ,
drawn along an surface. There are 11 planes of the body.

4. Several incomplete statements appear below. Correctly complete each statement by
choosing the appropriate anatomical term from the choices. Use each term only once.
1. The thoracic cavity is SUPERIOR to the abdominopelvic cavity.
2. The trachea (windpipe) is ANTERIOR to the vertebral column.
3. The wrist is PROXIMAL to the hand.
4. If an incision cuts the heart into left and right parts, a SAGITTAL plane
of section was used.
5. The nose is FRONTAL to the cheekbones.
6. The thumb is LATERAL to the ring finger.
7. The vertebral cavity is INFERIOR to the cranial cavity.
8. The knee is DISTAL to the thigh.
9. The plane that separates the head from the neck is the
TRANSVERSE plane.
10. The popliteal region is POSTERIOR to the patellar region.
11. The plane that separates the anterior body surface from the posterior body
surface is the MEDIAL plane.
