2. 1. Define the term Anatomy & Physiology (A&P)
2. Understand the relationship between A&P.
3. Define level of organization of the body .
4. Define anatomical position.
5. Describe the various body planes.
6. Define the body cavities.

3. 7. Discuss body cavities and list the organs lying
within each cavity.
8. Identify abdominal pelvic region & quadrant.
9. Identify the organs present in Nine (9) abdominal
pelvic regions.
10. Briefly discuss the importance of abdominal
pelvic quadrants and regions.

4. Anatomy is "the science of the structure of living
organisms" so human anatomy is the science of
the structure of the human body.
Syed Yousaf Shah 4
6. is the scientific study of normal function in living
systems.
A sub-discipline of biology, its focus is in how
organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and bio-
molecules carry out the chemical or physical
functions that exist in a living system.
Syed Yousaf Shah 6
8. The relationship between anatomy and physiology
are that they will always correlate with each other
anatomy being the study of the actual physical
organs and their structure as well as their
relationship to each other.
While physiology studies how those organs work
to function the whole body as organ systems.

11. The erect position of the body with the face
directed forward, the arms at the side, and the
palms of the hands facing forward, used as a
reference in describing the relation of body parts
to one another.

13. An anatomical plane is a structure used to
transect the human body, in order to describe the
location of structures or the direction of
movements. In human anatomy, three basic
planes are used:
sagittal plane
coronal or frontal
Transverse plane
Syed Yousaf Shah 13
15. The sagittal plane, being a plane parallel to the
sagittal suture, divides the body into sinister and
dexter (left and right) portions.
Syed Yousaf Shah 15
17. The midsagittal or median plane is in the
midline; i.e. it would pass through midline
structures such as the navel or spine, and all other
sagittal planes (also referred to as parasagittal
planes) are parallel to it.
Median can also refer to the midsagittal plane of
other structures, such as a digit.
Syed Yousaf Shah 17
18. The coronal or frontal plane divides the body
into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or
posterior and anterior) portions.
Syed Yousaf Shah 18
20. The transverse plane, also known as an axial
plane or cross-section, divides the body into
cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions.
Syed Yousaf Shah 20
22. The dorsal (posterior) cavity and the ventral
(anterior) cavity are the largest body
compartments.
The ventral cavity includes the thoracic and
abdominopelvic cavities and their subdivisions.
The dorsal cavity includes the cranial and
spinal cavities
Syed Yousaf Shah 22
23. Dorsal cavity:
cranial cavity enclosed by the skull and contains the brain
spinal canal, enclosed by the spine and contains the
spinal cord.
Syed Yousaf Shah 23
24. Ventral body cavity
◦ thoracic cavity enclosed by the ribcage and contains the
lungs and heart.
◦ abdominopelvic cavity
abdominal cavity, enclosed by the ribcage and pelvis and
contains the kidneys, ureters, stomach, intestines, liver,
gallbladder, and pancreas
pelvic cavity, enclosed by the pelvis and contains bladder,
anus and reproductive system.
