Question

B.Cavities of the Body: On the incomplete flowchart provided below: Fill in the cavity names that belong in boxes 3-8 Then, using either the name of the cavity or the box numbers, identify the descriptions in the list that follows. Body cavites 1 Dorsal body cavity cavity (supenior) cavity inferior) 2 Ventral body cavity cavity 5 superion Cavly Cavily (supenior inteson cavily infener) a.contained within the skull and vertebral column e. contains the heart b. houses female reproductive organs f. contains the small intestine C.the most protective body cavity g. bounded by the ribs d. its name means "belly" h. its walls are muscular

Answer 1

A.

Anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the body in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements

Three planes are used to describe human body

1.SAGITTAL PLANE---- also called median plane... It divides body into left and right, longitudinal and anterioposterior plane

2. CORONAL OR FRONTAL PLANE:

divides body into anterior and posterior

Dorsal and ventral (back and front)

3.TRANSVERSE OR AXIAL PLANE:

SEPARATES BODY INTO

• cranial and caudal (head and tail)
• Superior from inferior
• Lateral to horizontal

Sagittal — plane -Frontal (coronal) plane Transverse plane

Answer for 1st question is

a) sagittal plane

b) frontal plane

c) transverse plane

  B)   CAVITIES OF HUMAN BODY

Cavity is any space or compartment or potential space in the body

There are two main cavities in human body

1.DORSAL BODY CAVITY

2.VENTRAL BODY CAVITY

Cranial cavity Dorsal cavity Thoracic cavity Spinal cavity Ventral cavity Abdominal cavity Pelvic cavity Abdominopelvic cavity

Dorsal body cavity

it has 2 cavities again

• Cranial cavity which houses brain and pituitary gland.it is the space occupied by brain, enclosed by skull bones
• Vertebral or spinal cavity which houses spinal cord .it is the space enclosed by the vertebral column or back bone.. It is continuous with cranial cavity

Ventral body cavity

it has again 2 cavities

• Thoracic cavity which houses lungs and ribs.it is space superior to diaphragm
• Abdominopelvic cavity which is further divided into abdominal and pelvic cavities ..
• Abdominal cavity houses major digestive organs.it is the space occupied by ventral internal organs inferior to diaphragm and superior to pelvic cavity
• Pelvic cavity houses urinary and reproductive organs.it is space occupied by ventral internal organs that are bordered by pelvic bone girdles...

Answer for b) part of question is

Cranial cavity (superior) Derisal Body cavity Spinal cavity (Inferior) Ventral Body cavity- Thoracic cavity (superior) Abdomino peliit (Inferior) Abdominal canity . Couperior) pelvil cavity Conferio)

contained with in skull and vertebral column – Dornal Body carsty D) Hourses Fenale reproductive olgars- pelire cavity 2 most protective Body cavity - Dorsal Bodly cavity and Thoracic cavity. 4) Its name means Belly- Ventral cavity. s) Thoracic cavity contains heart 6) Abdomino pelire in particular Abdominal cavity contains small intestine 7) Thoracic cavity in Baunded by- Ribb cavity 8) Abdomino pelvic | Abdominal walls are muscular
