Human Body
Date:

Objective:
To identify and describe the main anatomical terms.
Description:
Students will organize information in an illustrated book in order to identify and describe the
main anatomical terms. WORK WITH A PARTNER
Requirements:
Information obtained in trusted sources on anatomical terms, epithelial, connective, muscular
and nervous tissues.
Part 1

1. Make an image of a human skeleton in the anatomical position, and then describe
the characteristics of the anatomical position.

2. Divide the skeleton into sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes, labeling each one
on the image, and then use the planes to complete the following statements:
a. The _________ plane divides the body into left and right equal
sections.
b. The _________ plane divides the body into anterior and posterior
sections.
c. The _________ plane divides the body into superior and inferior
sections.

3. Label the following body cavities on your image: cranial cavity, vertebral cavity,
thoracic cavity and abdominal pelvic cavity.

4. Fill in the table with a body membrane and an organ that is found in each of the
body cavities.
 Body cavity Organ found inside Body membrane found inside
Cranial cavity    
Vertebral cavity    
Thoracic cavity    
Abdominal pelvic cavity    

5. Label the following anatomical terms on your image, and then use each one of them in
a sentence to compare two body parts (bones, organs, or joints): lateral, medial,
anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, proximal and distal. E.g. The stomach is inferior to
the lungs.

Part 2

6. Make a conceptual map for epithelial and connective tissues that include their
characteristics, classification, functions, and examples for each.

7. Compare the different types of muscle tissue by filling in the table:

  Skeletal muscle Smooth muscle Cardiac muscle

Location in the body      

Shape of cells and number and location of nuclei      

Presence or absence of striations      

Voluntary or involuntary muscle      

8. Draw a neuron, and then label and describe its three parts (cell body, dendrites, and
axon).

9. Write a reflection on the similarities and differences among the different human tissues.

Note for the student: Consider that your activity must be documented (process) and
supported.
