Anterior (ventral)
Pertaining to the front of the body
Central
At or near the center of the body or organ
Distal
Partof an extremity farthest from the point of attachment to the trunk
External (superficial)
Toward or on the surface of the body
Inferior (caudad)
Away from the head
Internal
Away from the surface of the body
Lateral
Away from the mid-line of the body
Medial
Toward the mid-line of the body
Parietal
Pertaining to the outer boundary of body cavities
Peripheral
External to or away form the center of the body or organ
Posterior (dorsal)
Toward the back of the body
Proximal
,Part of an extremity closest to the point of attachment to the trunk
Superior (cephalad)
Toward the head`
Visceral
Pertaining to the internal organs
Frontal Plane (Coronal Plane)
is an imaginary line that run vertically across the shoulders, sides, and hips, dividing the
body from front to back.
Midsagittal Plane (Sagittal Plane or Lateral Plane)
is an imaginary line that runs vertically down the spine, face and center of the abdomen,
dividing the body into left and right portions.
Transverse Plane (Cross-Sectional Plane)
is an imaginary line that runs horizontally through the abdomen (at the navel), and
through the back to divide the body into top and bottom portions.
Abdominopelvic Cavity
Consists of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. It contains the stomach, liver,
pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys, most of the small and large intestines, the
urinary bladder and the internal reprooductive organs.
Dorsal Cavity
Located along the dorsal (posterior) surface of the body, where it is subdividedinto the
cranial cavity (which contains the brain) and the vertebral cavity (which encases the
spinal cord). The two cavities are contiuous.
Thoracic Cavity (or chest cavity)
Enclosed by the ribs, the vertebral column and the sternum. The second largest hollow
space in the body, it is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm.
Ventral Cavity
An anterior cavity comprised of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. The
abdominopelvic cavity is subdivided into the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity. The
abdominal cavity contains digestive organs, while the pelvic cavity contains the urinary
bladder, internal reproductive organs.
Abdominopelvic Quadrants
, right upper, left upper, right lower, left lower
Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)
One of the four quadrants into which the abdominopelvic region is divided. Located in
the left upper portion of the abdomen, it includes a view of the stomach, spleen, the left
kidney and parts of the duodenum, pancreas, left ureter, small intestines, transverse
colon and descending colon.
Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)
One of the four quadrants into which the abdominopelvic region is divided. Located in
the left lower portion of the abdominopelvic area, it provides partial view of the small
intestine, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, left ureter, and urinary bladder.
Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)
One of the four quadrants into which the abdominopelvic region is divided. Located in
the right lower portion of the abdominopelvic area, it includeds the view of the
ascending colon, small intestine, right ureter, urinary bladder and rectum.
Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
One of the four quadrants into which the abdominopelvic region is divided. Located in
the upper right portion of the abodomen, it provides a view of the gallbladder, most of
the liver and partial views of the pancreas, small intestine, ascending and transverse
colon.
Abdominopelvic Region
one of nine areas created by criss-crossing four imaginary lines that divide the body like
a tic-tac-toe grid; used to describe organ location or abnormalities
Epigastric Region
One of the nine regions into which the abdominopelvic cavity can be divided. It is
located in the center of the upper abdomen, just below the sternum. It includes partial
views of the liver, stomach, pancreas, duodenum, and transverse colon.
Hypogastric Region
One of the nine regions into which the abdominopelvic cavity can be divided. It is
located in the center of the lower pelvis between the hips. It includes a view of the
urinary bladder and rectum, and partial views of the ureters, small intestines and
sigmoid colon.
