basic anatomical terminology

• The anatomical position is defined as standing erect, head level and the eyes facing directly forward, with the lower limbs and feet flat on the floor and directed forward, and the upper limbs at the sides with the palms turned forward.
• The principal regions of the human body are the Head, Neck, Trunk, Upper limb, and Lower limbs.
• The sagittal plane, midsagittal plane/ median plane, parasagittal plane, coronal Plane/ Frontal plane, transverse plane/ Cross-sectional/ horizontal plane, and oblique plane are all planes used in anatomy.
• A section is a cut of the body or one of its organs made along one of the planes.
• Body cavities are spaces that enclose internal organs.
• The pericardium is a serous membrane of the pericardial cavity.
• The visceral pericardium covers the surface of the heart.
• The parietal pericardium lines the chest wall.
• The pericardial cavity is a space within the pericardium.
• The peritoneum is a serous membrane of the abdominal cavity.
• The visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal viscera.
• The parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal wall.
• The peritoneal cavity is a space within the peritoneum.
• The subcostal line and the transtubercular line are angular movements of the abdominopelvic cavity.
• Increase and decrease in the angle between articulating bones are referred to as angular movement.
• Major angular movements include flexion, extension, lateral flexion, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction.
• The organs located on the quadrants and regions of the abdomen can be written on a notebook.
• The organs located on the quadrants and regions of the abdominal area can be written on a notebook.
• The abdomen can be divided into quadrants and regions.
• The abdominal area can also be divided into quadrants and regions.
• Special movements occur only at certain joints and include elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, inversion, eversion, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, supination, pronation, and opposition.
• Common routes of drug administration include oral, subcutaneous, buccal, sublingual, transdermal, inhalation, rectal, parenteral, intracavitary, topical, intradermal, vaginal, and intrathecal.
• The organs located on the quadrants and regions of the ab
• Major angular movements include flexion, extension, lateral flexion, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, and rotation.
