Body regions:Superior/inferiorAlways appear below or above figuresAnterior/posteriorThose parts of the body that are in the front or the backSame as dorsal/ventral( backside or stomach)medial/lateraltowards the midline or away from the midlineBody planesPlaneAn imaginary line is which is made through the body to divide sections of the body1. Frontal plane- ( CORONAL PLANE)divides the body into posterior and anterior parts (backside and frontside)2. sagittal plane- a plane that divides the body into right and leftIf divided down the middle of the body, then this is called the median or the midsagittal plane3. Transverse planesruns horizontally so that it divides the body into superior and anterior parts( top and bottom parts)Cavities1. Dorsal body cavityextends from brain down the spine1. Cranial cavity- houses the brain2. Vertebral cavity- contains the spinal cord2. Ventral body cavity- made up of thin, double layered membrane calld the serous membraneextends from the the heart lungs/ to the pelvic region1. Thoraic cavity- contains the hearts and the lungs2. Abdominopelvic cavity- contains the digestive system3. Pelvic cavity- contains the urinary and bladder systemAbdominopelvic cavity Quadrants and regionsRegions1.
