Surface Anatomy and Body Orientation Guide

This document provides a summary of key anatomical terms related to surface anatomy and body cavities. It includes terms for different body regions, directions, and planes. It then has students match descriptions to terms and identify body cavities involved in different surgical procedures. Key terms included brachial, buccal, cervical, deltoid, digital, patellar, scapular, anterior, inferior, posterior, superior, medial, lateral, proximal, distal, transverse, frontal, and sagittal. Body cavities included thoracic, abdominopelvic, cranial, spinal, dorsal, and ventral.

SURFACE ANATOMY

Match each of the descriptions with a key term , and record the term in front of the descriptions.

Key : Brachial Carpal Deltoid Patellar


Buccal Cervical Digital Scapular

Buccal 1. Cheek

Digital 2. Referring to the fingers

Scapular 3. Shoulder blade region.

Carpal 4. Wrist area

Patellar 5. Anterior aspect of the knee

Brachial 6. Referring to the arm.

Deltoid 7. Curve of shoulder

Cervical 8. Referring to the neck

Body Orientation, Direction, Planes, and Sections


2. 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.

Kev: anterior inferior posterior superior


distal lateral proximal transverse

frontal medial sagittal

In the anatomical position, the umbilicus and knees are on the _l_ body surface; the buttocks and
shoulder blades are on the 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. In humans, the ventral
surface can also be Galled the _13_ surface; however, in quadruped animals, the ventral surface is the
14 surface.
If an incision cuts the brain into superior and inferior parts, the section is a 15 section; but if the
brain is cut so that anterior and posterior portions result, the section isa 16 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 17 and 18 sections.
