pertains to the back of a structure.
Posterior
located on the anterior aspect of the body and is further divided by the diaphragm into the
thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity.
Ventral cavity
Examples are ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and thrush.
Fungal Infections
bisects the body side-to-side and divides it into anterior and posterior sections.
Frontal or Coronal Plane
an uncontrollable growth of abnormal and purposeless cells that can accumulate into
a mass called a tumor.
Cancer
What diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa,
as well as by pathogenic animals.
Infectious Diseases
situations that require the therapist to modify techniques or refrain from using them

What plane runs through the midline of the body, dividing it into equal right and

, what diseases are caused by a lack of an essential nutrient in the individual's diet or by the
individual's inability to digest and absorb a particular nutrient. This deficiency typically

Deficiency Disease
Examples of metabolic diseases are Cushing disease (cortisol overproduction by the

(inability to produce and/or use insulin).
Metabolic Diseases
situated below or toward the tail end of a structure.
Inferior
a biologic agent capable of causing infectious diseases.
Pathogen
oriented toward or near the midline of the body.
Medial
situated above or toward the head end.
Superior
attached to bones and is the most abundant muscle tissue type. Not only do skeletal muscles
help us move, but they also maintain posture and produce heat.
Skeletal Muscle
a protective immune response to infection, injury, or irritation. The purpose of
inflammation is to create an environment that maximizes tissue repair by flooding the
area with fluids and destroying pathogens.
Inflammation
the most common method of disease transmission, can occur both directly and indirectly.
