Chapter 5: Body Structure
Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Chapter Objectives Main directional terms used in anatomy. Division of the body along three different planes. Dorsal and ventral body cavities. Nine divisions of the abdomen. Four quadrants of the abdomen. Main body positions used in medical practice. Basic terms describing body structure Roots pertaining to body regions. Prefixes pertaining to position and direction.

Key Termsabdominal cavity The larger ventral cavity below the diaphragm and above the pelvic
cavity
abdominopelvic cavity
The larger ventral cavity between the diaphragm and pelvis that includes the abdominal and pelvic cavity
anatomic position Standard position for anatomical studies, in which the body is erect and facing forward, the arms are at the sides with palms forward, and the feet are parallel
cranial cavity The dorsal cavity that contains the brain
diaphragm The muscle that separate the thoracic from the abdominal cavity
frontal (coronal) plane
Plane of section that separates the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions
pelvic cavity The ventral cavity that is below the abdominal cavity

Key Terms (cont’d)peritoneum The large serous membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity
and cover the organs with it
sagittal plane Plane that divides the body into right and left portions
spinal cavity (canal) Dorsal cavity that contains the spinal cord
thoracic cavity The ventral cavity above the diaphragm; the chest cavity
transverse (horizontal) plane
Plane that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions

fundus The base or body of a hollow organ; the area of an organ farthest from its opening
hypochondrium The hypochondriac region (left or right)
lumen The central opening within a tube or hollow organ
meatus A passage or opening
orifice The opening of a cavity

Directional Terms• Anatomical position
– Beginning reference point– Body upright– Facing front– Arms at side, palms forward– Feet parallel
Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Planes of Section• Frontal plane
– Coronal plane– Divides body into anterior, posterior parts
• Sagittal plane– Divides body into right, left portions– If plane cuts midline, called midsagittal or medial plane
• Transverse plane– Divides body into superior, inferior parts

Body Cavities
• Dorsal cavity contains:– Cranial cavity– Spinal cavity
Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Body Cavities (cont’d)• Ventral cavity contains:
– Thoracic cavity– Diaphragm
• Separates thoracic and abdominal cavity– Abdominopelvic cavity:
• Abdominal cavity• Pelvic cavity• Peritoneum

Abdominal Regions• Imaginarily divided into 9 regions• Midline sections:
– Epigastric = above stomach– Umbilical = umbilicus or navel– Hypogastric = below the stomach
Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Abdominal Regions (cont’d)• Lateral sections:
– Right and left hypochondriac• Positioned near ribs, specifically cartilages
– Right and left lumbar• Positioned near small of back (lumbar region)
– Right and left iliac• Named for upper bone of hip (ilium)• Also called inguinal region (referring to groin)
