SC146: Unit 1 Assignment
Review and Identify: Anatomical Terms, Directional Terms, Body Planes, Sections, Organ Systems, Body Cavities, Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions and Serous Membranes
Anatomy is composed of its own language. We use this language, not to confuse, but rather to increase precision and reduce medical error. Within this language, we use anatomical terms, directional terms, body planes, sections and organ systems and body cavities to aid in universally identifying the location, position and body systems associated with the anatomy in question between one healthcare practitioner to the next. A universal language.
Anatomical terms (regional terms) describe body positions, body regions and specific body areas and landmarks. Directional terms are used to describe the location of body structures in relation to other body structures. Body planes are flat surfaces that divide the body and organs in order to observe internal structures with the exposed surfaces produced by these body planes termed sections.
Organ systems are akin to separate departments within the body; a group of organs working together to perform a common function. Whereas body cavities represent the location in which many of the organs within organ systems can be found.
The Abdominopelvic cavity and the Ventral Body cavity have very unique qualities. The Abdominopelvic cavity is further divided into quadrants and regions and most of the organs in the ventral body cavity are covered with a thin serous membrane.
