Anatomical Terminology
• Terms that are used to describe the location of parts, regions, and planes on which the body can be sectioned.
• All anatomical terms are based on the body being in anatomical position.
• Is anatomical position universal for all animals?

Body Regions
• Axial and appendicular portions.• Axial (axis): head, neck, and trunk. (Trunk: thorax, abdomen, and pelvis)• Appendicular: limbs and their associated
girdles.
• Try: cephalic, cervical, brachial, antebrachial, femoral, crural, gluteal, vertebral, umbilical, coxal, pectoral, genital.

Planes and Sections
• Invisible, imaginary plane cut through the body to section it.
• Sagittal (Mid and para)• Frontal (Coronal)• Transverse (Horizontal)

Cavities and Membranes
• The first divisions of the body that are made are: posterior and anterior.
• Cavities and the organs (viscera) of the cavities are lined with membranes. Why do you think this is?
• Posterior cavities: Cranial, vertebral.• Posterior membranes: meninges (3).• Anterior cavities: Thoracic, abdominopelvic.• Anterior membranes: serous

Serous Membranes
• Visceral membrane – in contact with the organ (viscera) itself.
• Parietal membrane – the outer membrane.• Serous fluid – similar fluid as serum found
in between the visceral and parietal layers.• Examples: pleura, pericardium,
peritonium.
