Lab: Anatomical Scavenger Hunt Source: Cynthia Harley, Ph.D. Name: __________________ Introduction You are allowed to use your books, notes, the models, and even the Internet for this exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to make you more comfortable with the anatomical terminology that we learned in chapter 1 and that we will be using throughout the next two semesters. Keep in mind that some terms may be more appropriate than others for the same answer. For example, if I asked where your nose was located relative to your ears, “medial” would be appropriate, but if I asked which plane divides your nose from your ears, you’d say “sagittal.” Along with your partner, you can use your existing knowledge of the human body or the anatomical models in class to answer these questions. Of course, you are also allowed to use the book and class notes. Required Materials  Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas app  Articulated skeleton (optional)  Whole body anatomy model (optional) Anatomical Terminology Questions Answer the following questions and turn in your answers for this week’s lab grade. 1.

Note: Transverse sections including this structure would include the pancreas. Spleen 21. Name a structure that is in the medial part of the body, located inferior to the lungs and posterior to the intestines.
