QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Inferior. Answer: away from the head end or toward the lower
part of a structure or the body; below
◉ Ventral (anterior). Answer: toward or at the front of the body; in
front of
◉ Dorsal (posterior). Answer: Toward or at the back of the body;
behind
◉ Medial. Answer: toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner
side of
◉ Lateral. Answer: away from the midline of the body; on the outer
side of
◉ Intermediate. Answer: between a more medial and a more lateral
structure
◉ Proximal. Answer: closer to the origin of the body part or the
point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
,◉ Distal. Answer: farther from the origin of a body part or the point
of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
◉ Superficial. Answer: toward or at the body surface
◉ Deep (internal). Answer: away from the body surface; more
internal
◉ Anatomical Position. Answer: erect, feet forward, arms at side
with palms facing forward, head facing forward, internationally
know
◉ Axial. Answer: fundamental division of our body. Makes up the
main axis of our body, includes the head, neck, and trunk.
◉ Appendicular. Answer: fundamental division of our body. relating
to the limbs and their attachments to the axis.
◉ 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
