QUESTION 38 The next 5 questions will be regarding directional terms. You are in a hospital setting as a new graduate. You have a patient enter and your supervisor wants to make sure you are able to describe correctly directional terms. The patient is positioned in the anatomical position. Your supervisor wants to know what position the head is in relation to the lumbar area. You would say that the head is ______ to the lumbar area. Choose the ONE best answer. O superior O lateral O medial O dorsal QUESTION 39 1 points 1 points

Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology PRE-LAB Activity 2: Identifying Body Cavities and Abdominopelvic Regions 1. The dorsal body cavity is subdivided into the cavity and the cavity. 2. The ventral body cavity is subdivided into the cavity and the cavity. 3. Which abdominopelvic region(s) is(are) located directly a. inferior to the umbilical region? b. lateral to the epigastric region? c. superior to the right iliac region? d. inferior to the left hypochondriac region? e. lateral to the hypogastric region? 4. The innermost layer of the serous membrane surrounding the lungs is called the pleura. 5. The outermost layer of the serous membrane surrounding the heart is called the pericardium. PRE-LAB Activity 3: Demonstrating and Identifying Body Planes of Section 1. Which plane of section divides the body into anterior and posterior parts? 2. Which plane of section divides the body into superior and inferior parts? 3. Which plane of section divides the body into right and left parts? PRE-LAB Activity 4: Assisting the Coroner 1. The pelvis is to the ribs. a. superior b. lateral c. inferior d. distal 2. Which of the following descriptions best applies to the term medial? a. the nose relative to the ears b. the knee relative to the ankle c. the lips relative to the nose d. the ears relative to the eyes 3. Which of the following descriptions best applies to the term superior? a. the sternum relative to the lungs b. the wrist relative to the elbow c. the eyebrows relative to the eyes d. the fingers relative to the palm 4. The visceral pericardium is (superficial/deep) to the parietal pericardium. Anatomical Terminology Learning anatomy is sometimes compared to learning a new language because of the vast number of terms that are specific to the study of the human body. Because these terms are widely used in health care professions, it is essential that you become fluent in using them. Anatomical Position Anatomical position is the universally accepted standard position that scientists and medical professionals use to communicate information concerning parts of the body. In anatomical position (Figure 1), the body is erect and facing forward; the arms are straight and at the sides of the body, with the palms facing forward; and the feet are slightly apart, with the toes pointing forward. Figure 1 Anatomical position.
Identifying Body Regions and Exploring Surface Anatomy (28 pts) 1. Which of the following descriptions of the anatomical position is incorrect? a. arms straight b. palms facing posteriorly c. toes facing forward d. feet slightly apart 2. Match each of the following descriptions with the correct directional term. a. The sternum is ______ to the vertebrae. b. The feet are ______ to the hands. c. The elbows are ______ to the abdomen. d. The skin is ______ to the skeleton. e. The heart is ______ to the sternum. f. The lungs are ______ to the ribs. g. The chest is ______ to the abdomen. h. The knee is ______ to the hip. i. The little finger is ______ to the thumb. j. The elbow is ______ to the wrist. 1. posterior/dorsal 2. distal 3. anterior/ventral 4. deep 5. lateral 6. superficial 7. inferior 8. superior 9. proximal 10. medial 3. Use the list of terms provided to label the illustration; check off each term as you label it (Whiting, 2016) ☐ antecubital ☐ cervical ☐ frontal ☐ patellar ☐ pelvic ☐ femoral Identifying Body Cavities and Abdominopelvic Regions 1. The dorsal body cavity is subdivided into the ______ cavity and the ______ cavity. 2. The ventral body cavity is subdivided into the ______ cavity and the ______ cavity. 3.
