Anatomical Position
Standard frame of reference for anatomical
description & dissection
•
•
•
•
Person stands erect
Feet flat on floor
Arms at sides
Palms, eyes & face facing forward
Anatomical Planes
Planes are imaginary flat surfaces passing
through the body
• Sagittal plane
– divides the body into right and left halves
• Frontal (coronal) plane
– divides the body into front and back portions
• Transverse (horizontal) plane
– divides the body into upper and lower portions
Terms of Position
• Superior: upper or above
• Inferior: lower or below
• Anterior: toward the front
• Posterior: toward the back
• Cranial: toward the head
• Caudal: toward the feet
• Ventral: anterior
• Dorsal: posterior
Terms of Position (cont’d)
• Medial: toward the middle (medial plane)
• Lateral: away from the middle
• Proximal: closer to the point of attachment or origin
• Distal: farther from the point of attachment or origin
• Supine: facing up
• Prone: facing down
Forearm Positions
• Supine
– palms face forward or
upward
– radius & ulna are parallel
• Prone
– palms face rearward or
downward
– radius & ulna are crossed
Abdominal References
• Quadrants:
– RUQ - right upper quadrant
– RLQ - right lower quadrant
– LUQ - left upper quadrant
– LLQ - left lower quadrant
Abdominal References
Nine Regions
– defined by four lines that intersect like a tic-tac-toe
grid
– Each vertical line is called R or L lateral plane
– Superior horizontal line is the transpyloric plane
– Inferior horizontal line is the transtubercular plane

Lateral lumbar

Body Cavities
• Body cavities are lined with serous
membranes
• The body is internally divided into two
major body cavities, dorsal and ventral
• The organs within them are called viscera
Dorsal
Ventral
Dorsal Body Cavity
• The dorsal body cavity has two
subdivisions:
– Cranium Cavity
– Vertebral Canal
• The dorsal body cavity is lined by three membrane
layers called the meninges
Ventral Body Cavity
• Thoracic Cavity
– pleural cavity (lungs)
– pericardial cavity (heart)
---------diaphram----------
• Abdominopelvic Cavity
– abdominal Cavity
– pelvic Cavity
Cavities and Membranes
• Within the Thoracic Cavity a two-layered
membrane called the pericardium encloses
the heart and a two-layered membrane called
the pleura encloses the lungs
• The abdominopelvic cavity contains a
membrane called the peritoneum
Body Cavity Membranes
• Parietal membranes lines the cavity
– parietal pleura of the thoracic cavity
– parietal pericardium of the heart
– parietal peritoneum of the abdominopelvic cavity
• Visceral membranes form the external surface of
organs
– visceral pleura of the lungs
– visceral pericardium of the heart
– visceral peritoneum of the digestive organs
Membrane Cavities
• The narrow moist space formed
between the visceral and parietal
membranes are cavities lubricated
with serous fluid
– pleural cavity - pleural fluid
– pericardial cavity - pericardial fluid
– peritoneal cavity - peritoneal fluid
Greater and Lesser Omentum
• An “apron” which is an extension of the
peritoneum; contains adipose tissue
• Lesser omentum extends from the liver
and covers the stomach
• Greater omentum extends from the
stomach to the posterior abdominal wall
Rat Dissection
