activity 1 - anatomical terms

Activity 1:Orientation

Chapter 1 – McKinley et al., Human Anatomy, 4e.

Objectives:• Obtain and review laboratory syllabus, including instructor

contact information, laboratory schedule, grading policies, and safety procedures.

• Review basic anatomical terminology, including regional terms, body cavities, directional terms, and body planes.

• Fill in the descriptions for each term in your lab manual.• Label regional terms on figures 1 and 2 in your lab manual.
