LAB NOTES
EXERCISE NO.1
Body Regions:
1. Head
= where brain and face with eyes, nose,
mouth and ears are found.
2. Neck
connects head and trunk
3. Trunk
a. Thorax with heart and lungs
b. Abdomen —with most parts of digestive
system and urinary system
Pelvic cavity and Perineum - with
reproductive organs and distal parts of digestive
and urinary system.
4, Upper extremities
5. Lower Extremities
‘Anatomical Position
- A person in the anatomical position is
standing erect (or lying supine as if erect)
with the head and eyes directed
forward, the upper limbs by the sides
with the palms facing forward and the
lower limbs together with the toes
pointing forward.
‘Anatomical Planes
- Anatomical descriptions are also based on
four imaginary planes that pass through
the body in the anatomical positions.
1. Median plane
= The imaginary vertical line passing
longitudinally through the body from front to
back dividing it into right and left halves.
2, Sagittal plane
~ Imaginary vertical planes passing
through the body parallel to the median plane
dividing this into right and left parts.
named after sagittal suture of the skull
with which they are parallel
~ the sagittal plane that passes through
the median plane is often referred to as
midsagittal plane
3. Coronal plane or frontal plane
- imaginary vertical planes passing
through the body at right angles to the median
plane, dividing it into anterior (front) and
posterior back) portions.
- named after the coronal suture of the
skull, which is in coronal plane.
4, Horizontal plane or transverse plane or X—
section
~ imaginary planes passing through the
body at right angles to both the median and
coronal planes dividing the body to upper and
lower parts
