Transverse plane - AnsWER-Horizontal plane that divides the body into the top and
bottom
Coronal plane - AnsWER-Vertical plane that divides the body into front and back
sections
Sagittal plane - AnsWER-Plane that divides the body into left and right sections
Cephalic - AnsWER-Toward the head -same as superior for a human
Caudal - AnsWER-Toward the tail -same as inferior for a human
Dorsal - AnsWER-Toward the back - same as posterior for a human
Ventral - AnsWER-Toward the belly -same as anterior for a human
Superior - AnsWER-Above or toward the head
Inferior - AnsWER-Below or toward the feet
Distal - AnsWER-Farther from the trunk or origin
Proximal - AnsWER-Closer to the trunk or origin
,Superficial - AnsWER-Toward or on the surface
Deep or internal - AnsWER-Away from the surface
Anterior or ventral - AnsWER-Toward the front or toward the belly
Posterior or dorsal - AnsWER-Toward the rear or toward the back
Medial - AnsWER-Toward the midline
Lateral - AnsWER-Toward the side
Cephalic - AnsWER-Head
Orbital - AnsWER-Eye
Nasal - AnsWER-Nose
Buccal - AnsWER-Cheek
Oral - AnsWER-Mouth
Cervical - AnsWER-Neck
Brachial - AnsWER-Arm
Carpal - AnsWER-Wrist
,Manual - AnsWER-Hand
Digital - AnsWER-Finger or toe
Crural - AnsWER-Legs
Coxal - AnsWER-Hip
Femoral - AnsWER-Upper leg
Pedal - AnsWER-Feet
Thoracic - AnsWER-Below the neck and above the abdomen
Abdominal - AnsWER-Between the chest and the pelvis
Pelvic - AnsWER-Around the pelvis
Inguinal - AnsWER-Groin
Dorsal - AnsWER-Back
Vertebral - AnsWER-Along center line of back
Lumbar - AnsWER-Lower back
Sacral - AnsWER-Base of the spine
, Dorsal region - AnsWER-Region of the body along the back. 2 major cavities - the cranial
cavity and the vertebral canal (spinal cavity)
Cranial cavity - AnsWER-Contains the brain and is enclosed by the skull
Vertebral canal - AnsWER-Contains the spinal cord and is enclosed by the bones that
compose the spinal column also known as the spinal cavity
Ventral cavities - AnsWER-Located in the front of the body and contain most of the
internal organs. 3 major cavities - thoracic, abdominal and pelvic.
Thoracic cavity - AnsWER-Contains the lungs and heart and is enclosed by the rib cage.
The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm
Abdominal cavity - AnsWER-Contains most of the digestive organs - stomach, liver,
pancreas, intestines - and some of the urinary structures - the kidney and the ureters.
The upper boundary is the diaphragm and the lower boundary is the brim of the pelvis
(landmark of the pelvis bones)
Pelvic cavity - AnsWER-Contains the bladder, anus and reproductive organs and is
enclosed by the pelvis
Abdominopelvic cavity - AnsWER-Since there is no anatomical division between the 2
cavities they are occasionally referred to as 1 region
Homeostasis - AnsWER-The dynamic physiological process that helps people maintain
an internal environment suitable for normal function
Feedback loop - AnsWER-A system used to control the level of a variable in which there
is an identifiable receptor (sensor) control center (integrator or comparator) effectors,
and methods of communication
