ACTUAL QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS
◉ Appendicular.
Answer: fundamental division of our body. relating to the limbs and
their attachments to the axis.
◉ Regional Terms.
Answer: used to designate specific areas within major body
divisions
◉ Anterior/Ventral Body.
Answer:
◉ Posterior/Dorsal Body.
Answer:
◉ Sagittal.
Answer: a vertical plane that divides the body into right and left
parts
,◉ Median Plane (midsagittal plane).
Answer: sagittal plane that lies exactly in the midline
◉ Parasagittal Planes.
Answer: all other sagittal planes offset from the midline
◉ Frontal Planes (Coronal Plane).
Answer: like sagittal plane lie vertically, divide body into anterior
and posterior parts
◉ Transverse/Horizontal Plane.
Answer: runs horizontally from right to left, dividing the body into
superior and inferior parts. (Transverse is perpendicular to long axis
of an organ, horizontal is from front to back)
◉ Oblique Sections.
Answer: cuts made diagonally between the horizontal and the
vertical planes
◉ Dorsal Body Cavity.
Answer: protects the fragile nervous system organs, has 2
subdivisions
, ◉ Cranial Cavity.
Answer: in the skull, encases the brain
◉ Vertebral Cavity (Spinal Cavity).
Answer: runs within the bony vertebral column, encloses the
delicate spinal cord
◉ Ventral Body Cavity.
Answer: the more anterior and larger of the closed body cavities, has
2 major subdivisions, houses internal organs called Viscera
◉ Thoracic Cavity.
Answer: surrounded by the ribs and muscles of the chest
◉ Pleural Cavities.
Answer: lateral subdivision of Thoracic Cavity, enveloping a lung,
and the Medial Mediastinum
◉ Pericardial Cavity.
Answer: encloses the heart and also surrounds the the remaining
thoracic organs (esophagus, trachea, and others)
◉ Abdominopelvic Cavity.
