Anatomical PositionAnatomical
position Body erect with
feet together Arms at side with
palms forwardThe anatomical
position is the common visual reference point
![Page 5: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Anatomical PositionDirectional terms
used in anatomy reference deviations from the anatomical position (e.g. abduction of arm)
Additionally, the terms right and left always refer to the person, cadaver, or skeleton being viewed and are not the viewers right and left.
![Page 6: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Directional and Regional Terms
Regional terms are the names of specific body areas. The areas labeled here pertain to the fundamental divisions of the body.

Directional TermsSuperior Toward the head end or
upper part of a structure or the body
Inferior Away from the head end or toward the lower part of a structure or the body
Refer to table 1.1 on page 8

Directional TermsAnterior Toward or at the front of
the body (ventral)
PosteriorToward the back of the body; behind (dorsal)

Directional TermsMedial Toward or at the
midline of the bodyLateral Away from the midline
of the bodyIntermediate Between a more medial
and a more lateral structure

Directional TermsProximal Closer to the origin of the
body part, or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
Distal Farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk

Directional TermsSuperficial Toward or at the body
surfaceDeep away from the body
surface; more internal

Body Planes and SectionsThe most
frequently used body planes are sagittal, frontal and transverse which are at right angles to each other
A section bears the name of the plane along which it is cut
![Page 17: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Body Planes and SectionsIn the study of
anatomy, the body is often sectioned (cut) along a flat surface called a plane
Planes section the body through portions of the anatomical position
![Page 18: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Body Planes and SectionsLooking at the body
or a familiar object can look odd when viewed in section
However, looking at structures in section often can add insight into spatial relations and understanding of internal positioning
![Page 19: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Body Planes and SectionsIn this transverse
view a (MRI) system presents the internal structures of the torso
This view is useful in illustrating how organs are distributed within the cavity from anterior/lateral or medial lateral perspective
![Page 20: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Body Planes and SectionsIn this midsagitall
view a (MRI) system presents the internal structures of the abdominopelvic cavity
This view is useful in visualizing structures from a superior / inferior perspective
![Page 21: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Body Cavities
![Page 22: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Body cavities
Dorsal body cavity is divided into a cranial cavity which encases the brain, and the vertebral cavity which encases the spinal cord
![Page 23: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Body cavities
The ventral body cavity houses the visceral organs
The ventral body cavity is divided into the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities
![Page 24: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Thoracic Cavity
The thoracic cavity is surrounded by the ribs and muscles of the chest
It is further divided into plueral
cavities mediastinum pericardial
![Page 25: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Abdominopelvic CavityAbdominopelvic
cavity lies below the diaphragm
It is further divided into . . Abdominal cavity
Stomach, intestines, spleen, liver
Pelvic cavity Bladder, rectum,
and some reproductive organs
![Page 26: Anatomical Positions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033013/568163ab550346895dd4be3a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Other Cavities

Abdominal Regions & QuadrantsAnatomists often
divide the body cavity into smaller regions for study
Two transverse and two parasagittal planes divide the abdomen into nine regions

Abdominal Regions & QuadrantsYour text will
reference structures found within these regions

Abdominal Regions & QuadrantsA more
generalized scheme for locating abdominal structures is based on quadrants
