Q

Plane

A

imaginary line or surface made through body wall or through an organ
-3 planes that lie at right angles to one another:
Saggital, Frontal, Transverse

58
Q

Sagittal plane

A

a plane that runs longitudinally and divides body into right and left parts is referred to as a sagitall plane
- right down the middle of the body

59
Q

Frontal plane or coronal plane

A
  • the frontal plane is a longitudinal place that divides the body (or organ) into anterior and posterior parts
60
Q

Transverse plane

A
  • transverse runs horizontally, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts
  • organs- the sections are called cross sections
61
Q

body cavities

A

the axial portion of the body has 2 large cavities: dorsal, ventral

subdivisions: Thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cav, abdominal cav., pelvic cav.

Synovial cavities

A

-Synovial cav.s are joint cav.s- they are enclosed within fibrous capsules that surround the freely movable joints of the body, such as those between the vertebrae and the knee and hip joints
