body planes - answer--imaginary lines used for reference; they include the median
plane, the coronal plane, and the transverse plane.
Median Plane - answer--divides the body into right and left halves. Also called the
midsagittal plane.
Planes of the Body - answer--...
Coronal Plane - answer--divides the body into front and rear sections. Also called
the frontal plane.
Frontal plane - answer--divides the body into front and rear sections. Also called
the coronal plane.
Horizontal Plane - answer--divides the body into a superior (or upper) and an
inferior (or lower) section. Also called the transverse plane.
Median Plane - answer--divides the body into right and left halves. Also called the
midsagittal plane.
,Midsagittal Plane - answer--divides the body into right and left halves. Also called
the median plane.
Transverse Plane - answer--divides the body into a superior (or upper) and an
inferior (or lower) section. Also called the horizontal plane.
Direction and Location - answer--...
Anterior - answer--front side of the body, also known as ventral.
Caudal - answer--in quadrapeds, the tail end [see inferior].
Cranial - answer--above or near the head, also known as superior.
Distal - answer--farthest end from the trunk or head.
Dorsal - answer--back side of the body, also known as the posterior.
Inferior - answer--below also, toward the feet.
Infra- - answer--prefix meaning below or under.
Lateral - answer--away from the midline.
,Medial - answer--toward the midline.
Posterior - answer--back side of the body, also known as the dorsal.
Proximal - answer--closest part nearest the trunk or head.
Superior - answer--above or near the head, also known as cranial.
Supra- - answer--prefix meaning above or over.
Ventral - answer--front side of the body, also known as anterior.
Parts of the Human Skull - answer--...
Calvarium - answer--includes the brain case.
Cranium - answer--includes the face and the calvarium.
Mandible - answer--the lower jaw.
Skull - answer--includes both the cranium and mandible.
, Bones of the Skull - answer--...
Ethmoid bone - answer--sieve-like spongy bone located in the anterior part of the
floor of the cranium between the orbits. The ethmoid is the principal supporting
structure of the nasal cavity.
Frontal bone - answer--forms the forehead, the roofs of the orbits, and most of
the anterior part of the cranial floor.
Inferior Nasal Conchae - answer--one of three scroll-like bones that project from
the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. The inferior nasal conchae articulate with the
ethmoid, maxilla, lacrimal and paltine bones and form the lower part of the lateral
wall of the nasal cavity.
Lacrimal bone - answer--a thin scalelike bone, roughly resembling a fingernail in
size and shape, at the anterior part of the medial wall of the orbit, articulating
with the frontal and ethmoidal bones and the maxilla and inferior nasal concha.
The lacrimal bone, the smallest and most fragile bone of the face, is situated at
the front part of the medial wall of the orbit. It has two surfaces and four borders.
Mandible - answer--the bone forming the lower jaw; the largest and strongest
bone of the face, presenting a body and a pair of rami, which articulate with the
skull at the tempromandibular joints.
Maxillae - answer--paired bones uniting to form the upper jawbone. The maxillae
articulate with every bone of the face except the mandible, or lower jawbone. The
maxilla (plural: maxillae), also known as the mustache bone, is a fusion of two
bones along the palatal fissure that form the upper jaw. This is similar to the
