Directional Terms
• Superior and inferior – toward and away from the head, respectively
• Anterior and posterior – toward the front and back of the body, respectively
• Medial, lateral, and intermediate – toward the midline, away from the midline, and between a more medial and lateral structure

Body Planes• Sagittal – divides the body into right and
left parts• Midsagittal or medial – sagittal plane that
lies on the midline• Frontal or coronal – divides the body into
anterior and posterior parts• Transverse or horizontal (cross section) –
divides the body into superior and inferior parts
• Oblique section – cuts made diagonally

Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane)A verticle plane running from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions.
Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane)A verticle plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.
Axial Plane (Transverse Plane)A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts.
Median planeSagittal plane through the midline of the body; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left halves.

Anatomical Variability or “Plasticity”
• Humans vary slightly in both external and internal anatomy
• Over 90% of all anatomical structures match textbook descriptions, but:– Nerves or blood vessels may be somewhat
out of place– Small muscles may be missing
• Extreme anatomical variations are seldom seen

Body Cavities• Dorsal cavity protects the nervous
system, and is divided into two subdivisions– Cranial cavity is within the skull and encases
the brain– Vertebral cavity runs within the vertebral
column and encases the spinal cord
• Ventral cavity houses the internal organs (viscera), and is divided into two subdivisions: thoracic and abdominopelvic

Body Cavities• Thoracic cavity is subdivided into pleural
cavities, the mediastinum, and the pericardial cavity
– Pleural cavities – each houses a lung
– Mediastinum – contains the pericardial cavity, and surrounds the remaining thoracic organs
– Pericardial cavity – encloses the heart

Body Cavities
• The abdominopelvic cavity is separated from the superior thoracic cavity by the dome-shaped diaphragm
• It is composed of two subdivisions
– Abdominal cavity – contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, and other organs
– Pelvic cavity – lies within the pelvis and contains the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum

Ventral Body Cavity Membranes
• Parietal peritoneum lines internal body walls
• Visceral peritoneum covers the internal organs
• Serous fluid separates the parietal and visceral peritoneum
![Page 19: The Human Body: An Orientation. Anatomical Position Body standing upright feet slightly apart palms facing forward thumbs point away from body](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eac5503460f94bb2531/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ventral Body Cavity Membranes
Outer balloon wall comparable to the parietal peritoneum
Inner balloon wall (comparable to visceral peritoneum)

Other Body Cavities• Oral and digestive – mouth and cavities of the
digestive organs
• Nasal –located within and posterior to the nose
• Orbital – house the eyes
• Middle ear – contain bones (ossicles) that transmit sound vibrations
• Synovial – joint cavities
