sectional planes
frontal (coronal) plane, sagittal plane, and transverse plane
frontal (coronal) plane
anterior versus posterior
sagittal plane
right versus left sides
transverse plane
superior versus inferior
serial reconstruction
an important technique for studying histological structure and analyzing images produced
by radiological procedures
body cavities
protect delicate organs and permit changes in the size and shape of visceral organs
ventral body cavity (ceolom)
surrounds organs of the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, and
reproductive systems
diaphragm
divides the ventral body cavity into the superior thoracic and inferior abdominopelvic
cavities
thoracic cavity
the superior part of the ventral body cavity
abdominopelvic cavity
the inferior part of the ventral body cavity
abdominal cavity
the space bounded by the abdominal walls, diaphragm and pelvis
pelvic cavity
inferior subdivision of the abdominopelvic (peritoneal) cavity
pleural cavities
each surrounds a lung
mediastinum
separates the two pleural cavities in the thoracic cavity
pericardial cavity
surrounds the heart
pleura
the membrane lining the pleural cavities
pericardium
the membrane lining the pericardial cavity
abdominopelvic cavity
contains the peritoneal cavity
peritoneal cavity
lined by the peritoneum
peritoneum
the serous membrane that lines the peritoneal (abdominopelvic) cavity
mesenteries
support and stabilize many digestive organs
