Document Summary
Anatomical nomenclature: using anatomical direction, regions, and landmarks. Anatomical position: a 3d compass (n,e,s,w, directions, movements, and relationships, upright and palms facing forward. Inferior vs. superior, proximal vs. distal, medial vs. lateral, prone vs. supine. Planes: midsagittal (median) plane passes through the midline of. Body cavities: spaces within the body that help protect, support internal organs, bones, muscles, and ligaments separate body cavities from one another lined by serous membranes separate, and. Serous membrane lungs: called the pleura, visceral pleura - clings to surface of lungs, parietal pleura - lines chest wall and covers the superior surface of the diaphragm. In between is the pleural cavity which contains fluid. Serous membrane heart: called the pericardium, visceral pericardium covers surface of the heart, parietal pericardium lines fibrous pericardium that surrounds the heart. Body compartments: separated by joints and fascia, share developmental origin, share similar function and. Lower leg: 3 compartments: lateral, anterior, posterior.
