Document Summary
7 approaches for studying the body: body planes and direcions*, body caviies*, body quadrants and regions*, anatomy and physiology, microscopic to macroscopic, body systems, medical specialies. Body in anatomical posiion: can be studied by dividing it with planes. Divides he body into 2 parts: 3 bod planes. Represent movement away from or toward those planes. Verical plane divides body into front and back secions. Names for coronal suture in the cranium. Front of the body: anterior or ventral secion. Back of the body: posterior or dorsal secion. Verical plane divides into right and let secions. Named for the sagital suture in the cranium. Moving from the side of the body toward midline: medial direcion. Moving from the midline toward the side of the body: lateral direcion. Horizontal plane divides body into upper and lower secions. Upper half of the body superior. Moving towards the head (superior direcion: cephalad. Moving toward the tail bone (inferior direcion: caudad.
