E. Body Orientation, Direction, Planes, and Sections

Direction: Several incomplete statements are listed below. Correctly
complete each statement by choosing the appropriate anatomical term from
the key. Record the key terms on the correspondingly numbered blanks
below.
Key:
anterior distal frontal
Inferior lateral medial
posterior proximal sagittal
superior transverse

In the anatomical position, the umbilicus and knees are on the 1____ body
surface; the buttocks and shoulder blades are on the 2______ body surface;
and the soles of the feet are the most 3 ____ part of the body. The ears are
4_____ and 5______ to the shoulders and 6 _______ to the nose. The
breastbone is 7_____ to the vertebral column (spine) and 8_____ to the
shoulders. The elbow is 9_____ to the shoulder but 10______ to the fingers.
The thoracic cavity is 11______ to the abdominopelvic cavity and
12_______ to the spinal cavity. In humans, the ventral surface can also be
called the 13_______ surface; however, in quadruped animals, the ventral
surface is the 14_______ surface. If an incision cuts the brain into superior
and inferior parts, the section is a 15 section; but if the brain is cut so that
anterior and posterior portions result, the section is a 16______ section. You
are told to cut a dissection animal along two planes so that the lungs are
observable in both sections. The two sections that meet this requirement are
the 17_______  and 18________ sections.
