Chapter One: Introduction

ANATOMICAL POSITION

AND TERMS OF

DIRECTION

When studying the human body it is

important to place the body in

anatomical position. Anatomical

position is described as the body

facing you, feet placed together and

flat on the floor. The head is held

erect, arms straight by the side with

palms facing forward. All references

to the body are made as if the body is

in this position so when you describe

something as being above something

else it is always with respect to the

body being in anatomical position.

The relative position of the parts of

the human body has specific terms.

Superior means above while

inferior means below. Medial refers

to being close to the midline while

lateral means to the side. Anterior

or ventral is to the front while

posterior or dorsal is to the back.

Superficial is near the surface while

deep means to the core of the body.

When working with the limbs,

proximal means closer to the trunk

while distal is to the ends of the

extremities. Write the directional

terms in the spaces provided and

color in the arrows in reference to

these terms. Note that these terms

are somewhat different for four

legged animals.

ANATOMICAL PLANES OF

THE BODY

Many specimens in anatomy are

sectioned so that the interior of the

organ or region can be examined. It

is important that the direction of the

cut is known so that the proper

orientation of the specimen is

known. A heart looks very different

if it is cut along its length as opposed

to horizontally. A horizontal cut is

known as a transverse section or a

cross section. A cut that divides the

body or an organ into anterior and

posterior parts is a coronal section

or frontal section. One that divides

the structure into left and right parts

is a sagittal section. If the body is

divided directly down the middle the

section is known as a midsagittal

section. A midsagittal section is

usually reserved for dividing the

body into to equal left and right

parts. If an organ (such as the eye) is

sectioned into two equal parts such

that there is a left and right half then

this is known as a median section.

Label the illustrations and color in

the appropriate planes.

Answer Key: a. Frontal (coronal) plane,

b. Transverse (cross-section) plane,

c. Median (midsagittal) plane

HIERARCHY OF THE BODY

The human body can be studied at different levels. Organs such as the

stomach can be grouped into organ systems (digestive system) or can be

studied on a smaller scale like the cellular level. The ranking of these

levels is called a hierarchy. The smallest organizational unit is the atom.

Individual atoms are grouped into larger structures called molecules.

These in turn make up organelles, which are part of a larger, more

complicated systems called cells. Cells are the structural and functional

units of life. Cells are clustered into tissues. Organs are discreet units

made up of two or more tissues and organs are grouped into organ

systems that compose the organism. Label the levels of the hierarchy

and color each item a different color.

REGIONS OF THE

ABDOMEN

In anatomy the abdomen is divided

into nine regions. Write the names of

the regions in the spaces indicated.

Color both the left and right

hypochondriac regions in light blue.

Hypochondriac means "below the

cartilage." The common use of the

word (someone who thinks they are

sick all the time) reflects the Greek

origin of the word as the ancient

Greeks considered the region to be

the center of sadness. Inferior to the

hypochondriac regions are the

lumbar or lateral abdominal

regions. These are commonly known

as the "love handles." Use yellow for

these regions. Below the lumbar

regions are the inguinal or iliac

regions. You should color in these

regions with the same shade of

green. In the middle of the

abdomen is the umbilical region.

Color this region in red. Above this

is the epigastric region (epi = above

and gastric = stomach). Color this

region in purple. Below the

umbilical region is the hypogastric

region (hypo = below). Color this

region in a darker blue.

g.-----

In clinical settings a quadrant

approach is used. Write the names of

the regions (right upper quadrant,

left upper quadrant, right lower

quadrant, left lower quadrant) in

the spaces provided. Color each

quadrant a different color.

Answer Key: a Right hypochondriac,

b. Right lumbar (lateral abdominal),

c. Umbilical, d. Right Inguinal or iliac,

e. Epigastric, f. Left hypochondriac,

g. Left lumbar (lateral abdominal),

h. Left inguinal or iliac, i. Hypogastric,

) Left upper quadrant, k. Right upper

quadrant, I. Left lower quadrant,

m. Right lower quadrant

ORGAN SYSTEMS

The human body is either studied by regions or by organs systems. This

book uses the organ system approach in which individual organs (such

as bones) are grouped into the larger organ system (for example, the

skeletal system). Typically eleven organ systems are described. The

skeletal system consists of all of the bones of the body. Examples are the

femur and the humerus. The nervous system consists of the nerves,

spinal cord, and brain while the lymphatic system consists of lymph

glands, conducting tubes called lymphatics, and organs such as the

spleen. The term immune system is more of a functional classification

and will not be treated as a separate system here. The muscular system

consists of individual skeletal muscles as organs such as the pectoralis

major and deltoid. Label the organ systems underneath each illustration

and label the selected organs by using the terms available. When you

finish, select different colors for each organ system and color them in.
