Sacral
Scapular
Sternal
Sural
Tarsal
Thoracic
Umbilical
Vertebral
Using the models in the class, your lab
partner and the figures in your book identify the following directional terms for the human body:
Superior vs inferior
Cranial vs caudal
Anterior vs posterior
Ventral vs dorsal
Medial vs lateral vs intermediate (mesial)
Proximal vs distal
Superficial vs internal
External vs deep
Ipsalateral vs contralateral
Rostral
Explain why the terms anterior and ventral
as well as posterior and dorsal mean the same thing in bipedal animals and different things in quadripedal animals.
Use the above terms to answer the following
questions.

The wrist is ________________to the fingers.
The esophagus is ____________to the trachea.
The heart is _______________to the two
lungs.

The nose is __________to both eyes.
The neck is ______________to the chin.
The heart is ____________to the sternum.
The index is ___________to the thumb (in
the anatomical position).
The toes are ______________ to the knee.
The right arm and right leg are _________________to
one another.
The right arm and left leg are __________________to
one another.
The crural region is _____________to the
sural region.
The plantar region is _____________to the
dorsum.
The coxal region is ___________to the popliteal
region.
The pollex is ______________to the antebrachium.
The hallux is ____________to the pubic
region.
The mammary region is ________to the axillary
region.
The sternal region is ________to the mammary
region
The inguinal region is _____________to
the pubic region.
The hypogastric region is __________to
the epigastric region.
The fibular region is _____________to the
calcaneal region.
The mental region is ___________to the
oral region.
The stomach is ____________to the appendix.
The ears are _________to the chin.
The gluteal region is _________to the pubic
region.
The brachium is ________to the antebrachium.
The manus is _____________to the shoulder.
The skin is ____________to the humerus.
The thorax is __________________to the
inguinal region
The iliac region is __________to the hypogastric
region.
The hypochondriac region is __________to
the lumbar region.
The vertebral column is ___________to the
two kidneys.
The frontal lobe of the brain is ___________to
the occipital lobe.
Using the models in the class, your lab
partner and the figures in your book identify the following major cavities of the human body and the organs that are found
there in:
Dorsal or verterbral cavity
Cranial cavity
Vertebral cavity
Ventral cavity
Thoracic cavity
Pleural cavity
Pericardial cavity
Mediastinum
Abdominal pelvic cavity
Abdominal cavity
Pelvic cavity
Using the models in the class, your lab
partner and figures in your book identify the following anatomical regions and the organs found in each:
Right hypochondriac
Left hypochondriac
Epigastric
Right lumbar
Left lumbar
Umbilical
Left iliac
Right iliac
Hypogastric
Describe each of the following dissection
planes: midsagital, parasagital, frontal, transverse, and oblique.
Using the knives and various fruits and
vegetables make each of the above cuts. Draw a picture of a human on your
fruit or vegetable with a pen or a marker.
Using the models in the class, your lab
partner and figures in your book identify the organs that are retroperitoneal.
Using the torso models, charts, and
figures in your book identify the following serous membranes and name the organs associated with each:
Visceral pericardium
Parietal pericardium
Visceral pleura
Parietal pleura
Visceral peritoneum
Parietal peritoneum
Name the disease associated with each serous
membrane.
Using the torso models, charts and figures
in your book find the mediastinum and name the organs found there.
Using the appropriate chapters in the book,
list all the functions of the various systems of the body.
Name the systems that participate in the
elimination of wastes.
Name the systems that participate in control
of the body.
Name the systems that participate in movement.
Name the systems that participate in homeostasis.
Draw a diagram of a process that demonstrates
positive homeostasis.
Draw a diagram of a process that demonstrates
negative homeostasis.
