Body Plan

1. Look for a fruit or a vegetable that is round or elongated that you can cut into
half. You’ll be needing 3 pcs of the same fruit or vegetable (e.g. 3 pcs of
bananas). Draw a face into the fruit or vegetable as your marker for the anterior
part of it. Cut the fruit or vegetable using the different planes. Observe the
structure. Draw the inner and outer structures for each plane and describe.
Relate the result of this activity in relation to the human body and how this
concept will be useful in the medical field and to you as a future Nurse. (15
points)

*You may attach the file (Docx file or handwritten (scanned copy).

1. SAGITTAL PLANE
-Separates the left and right parts.
-A Sagittal plane along the midline that divides the body into equal left and right.

The exposed part of the onions in the sagittal

planes is the Tunic, scales, bud, basal plate and the roots. This differs from the other
planes because we are able to see different organs and see all the angles in a specific
organ.
 2. TRANSVERSE PLANE
-A horizontal plane that separates the inferior and superior parts.

The exposed part of the onion in a transverse

plane is the skin, outer scale, fleshy leaves and the bud. This differ from the other
planes because we were able to visualize an organ in its top view, we were able to see
the organ with its inferior part.

3. FRONTAL PLANE
-A vertical plane that separates the body into anterior and posterior parts.
 The exposed part of the onion in a frontal plane
view is the tunic, scales, bud, basal plate and roots. This differ from the other planes
because in this plane were able to visualize an organ either anterior or inferior view.

CONCLUSION:

This activity has the same outcome when it comes to the body planes. Because
of this activity we were able to look further the inside part of the onion as the object
being tested. Medical imaging techniques such as sonography, CT scans, MRI scans,
or PET scans are one of the primary applications of body planes. By imaging a patient
in standard anatomical position, a radiologist can build an X-Y-Z axis around the patient
to apply body planes to the images. The planes can then be used to identify and locate
the positions of the patient’s internal organs. Individual organs can also be divided by
planes to help identify smaller structures within that organ. This can help us future
doctors and nurses to easily identify or make a diagnosis in order for us to help the
patient in need and give the best health care service.

Surface Anatomy
2. Match each of the following descriptions with a key term, and record the term
in front of the description.
Key: Brachial Buccal 1. Cheek
Buccal Digital 2. Referring to the fingers
Carpal Scaptular3. Shoulder blade region
Cervical Carpal 4. Wrist area
Deltoid Patellar 5. Anterior aspect of knee
Digital Brachial 6. Referring to the arm
Patellar Deltoid 7. Curve of shoulder
Scapular Cervical 8. Referring to the neck
Body Orientation, Direction, Planes, and Sections
3. 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 inferior posterior superior

Distal lateral proximal transverse
Frontal medial sagittal

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.

If an incision cuts the brain into superior and inferior parts, the section is a _13_
section; but if the brain is cut so that anterior and posterior portions result, the section is
a _14_ 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 _15_ and _16_ sections.
Anterior 1. Distal/Inferior 9.
Posterior 2. Proximal/Superior 10.
Inferior 3. Superior 11.
Superior 4. Anterior 12.
Medial 5. Transverse 13.
Lateral 6. Frontal 14.
Anterior 7. Transverse 15.
Medial 8. Frontal 16.
4. A nurse informs you that she is about to give you a shot in the lateral femoral
region. What portion of your body should you uncover?

Your Thigh .
Body Cavities
5. Which body cavity would have to be opened for the following types of surgery?
Insert the key term(s) in the same-numbered blank. More than one choice may
apply.

Key: abdominopelvic dorsal thoracic

cranial spinal ventral

1. Surgery to remove a cancerous lung lobe ____Thoracic_____

2. Removal of an ovary ___Abdominopelvic____
3. Surgery to remove a ruptured disk ___Spinal___
4. Appendectomy ___Abdominopelvic___
5. Removal of the gallbladder ____Abdominopelvic___

6. Correctly identify each of the described areas of the abdominal surface by

inserting the appropriate term in the answer blank preceding the description.

R and L Hypochondriac 1. Overlies the lateral aspects of the lower ribs

Umbilical Region 2. Surrounds the “belly button”
Hypogastric Region 3. Encompasses the pubic area
Epigastric Region 4. Medial region overlying the stomach

7. Which body cavity affords the least protection to its internal structures?
