Essay
21. Describe the essential elements of a patient in correct anatomical position and explain why standard anatomical
position is important.
ANSWER: One of the first steps in communicating clearly with others about the human body is to
establish a standard perspective. In other words, a universal way of distinguishing front,
back, right, or left. This is done using the standard of anatomical position. In anatomical
position, a person is standing with feet slightly apart and in line with the hips. Arms are at the
person’s side, with the palms facing forward. The head and eyes are also facing forward. In
anatomy, the terms right and left always refer to the patient’s, cadaver’s, or organ’s right or
left, never the observer’s.
DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Understand
REFERENCES: Activity 1.1 Anatomical Position
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1.1 - Describe the human body in anatomical position.
22. List and describe the 13 directional terms.
ANSWER: Superior - Describes a position above or higher than another part of the body on the head,
neck, or trunk.
Inferior - Describes a position below or lower than another part of the body on the head,
neck, or trunk.
Anterior/ventral - Describes a position toward the front of the body.
Posterior/dorsal - Describes a position toward the back of the body.
Proximal - Describes a position on a limb that is nearer to the point of attachment or the trunk
of the body.
Distal - Describes a position on a limb that is farther from the point of attachment or the trunk
of the body.
Medial - Describes a direction toward the midline of the body.
Lateral - Describes a direction toward the side of the body.
Ipsilateral - Positioned on the same side of the body.
Contralateral - Positioned on opposite sides of the body.
Superficial - Describes a position closer to the surface of the body.
Deep - Describes a position farther away from the surface of the body.

REFERENCES: Activity 1.2 Directional Terms
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1.3 - Describe the location of body structures, using appropriate directional terminology.
23. Describe the frontal plane section. of the human body.
ANSWER: A frontal plane is a slice that divides the body into anterior and posterior sections.

REFERENCES: Activity 1.3 Planes of Section
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1.4 - Identify and define the anatomical planes in which a body might be viewed.
24. Describe the function and layers of the serous membranes.
ANSWER: The double-layered serous membranes are separated by a narrow space filled with specialized
serous fluid. The parietal layer of the serous membrane is the outer layer and lines the body
cavity. The visceral layer is the inner layer that covers the surface of the organ or organs it
surrounds.

25. Name and describe the nine regions of the abdominopelvic cavity. Be sure to explain how the borders of the nine
regions can be likened to a tic-tac-toe game grid.
ANSWER: The nine abdominopelvic regions are created with four lines to create a grid, like a tic-tac-toe
game grid. Two vertical lines create three equal columns. The superior horizontal line is
along the inferior border of the ribs, and the inferior horizontal line is at the superior border
of the hip bones. The superior center square is the epigastric region, bordered laterally by the
right and left hypochondriac regions. The middle center square is the umbilical region
(containing the belly button) and is bordered laterally by the right and left lumbar regions.
The inferior center square is the hypogastric region and is bordered laterally by the right and
left iliac regions (also called the right and left inguinal regions).
