Language
• Special terminology is used to prevent misunderstanding
• Exact terms are used for– Position– Direction– Regions– Structures
![Page 3: Language of Anatomy. Language Special terminology is used to prevent misunderstanding Exact terms are used for – Position – Direction – Regions – Structures](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022072005/56649f3e5503460f94c5f45a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Body Sections• Median(sagittal) -
dividing body into equal right and left parts– Midsagittal – left and
right are equal size
• Frontal (coronal)- divides body into ventral and dorsal
• Transverse – divides body into superior and inferior

Superior(cranial)
• Toward head end• The forehead is superior
to the mouth

Inferior(caudal)
• Away from the head• The naval is inferior to
the breastbone

Ventral(Anterior)
• Toward the front of the body
• The breastbone is ventral to the spine

Dorsal(posterior)
• Toward or at the back of the body (behind)
• The heart is dorsal to the breastbone

Proximal
• Close to the point of attachment of a limb to the body
• The elbow is proximal to the wrist

Distal
• Farther from the point of attachment of a limb to the body
• The wrist is distal to the elbow

Superficial
• Toward or at the bodies surface
• The skin is superficial to the skeleton
• A superficial wound is at the surface

Body Cavities• Dorsal body cavity
– Cranial cavity -the brain– Spinal cavity - the spinal
cord
• Ventral body cavity– Thoracic cavity - heart,
lungs and others– Abdominal cavity -
digestive system and most urinary system organs
– Pelvic – reproductive organs
– Abdominopelvic – all of abdominal and pelvic
