Lab Activity #1

Lab Activity #1 © Cory Lindsay 2022 1 The human body is meticulously organized. The activities in this lab will help you understand this organization and how anatomists visualize the human body. This lab also enables you to describe the human body using the same language as scientists and health professionals. Human anatomy was first described only by dissection, but today a variety of tools, including anatomy models, virtual software (and more) allows students to easily learn about its organization. As such, you will begin making use of these tools lab activity #1. Use table 1 (below) to address questions 1-7 on the following pages. Table 1 Cranial Antecubital Abdominal Femoral Cephalic Acromial Thoracic Popliteal Cervical Olecranal Dorsal Patellar Nuchal Carpal Pelvic Gluteal Mental Antebrachial Inguinal Pedal Axillary Palmar Crural Plantar Brachial Pollex Sural Hallux 1. Using your textbook as a reference, describe (in your own words) the regions of the body associated with the following terms: a. Nuchal— b. Cervical— c. Mental— d. Cranial— e. Cephalic— 2. The pollex and hallux are anatomical terms for which body parts? Lab objectives: 1. Learn and apply regional anatomical terminology to the human body 2. Understand the meaning of directional terminology and its appropriate use for explaining relationships between body structures 3. Understand the organization of abdominopelvic organs into regions and quadrants 4. Describe body cavities and major organs associated with each

Draw a human arm—including the upper arm, forearm and hand—and correctly label the following anatomical regions located on the upper extremities: carpal , brachial , acromial , axillary , antebrachial and palmar . 4. Draw a human leg—including the thigh, lower leg and foot—and correctly label the following anatomical regions located on the lower extremities: femoral , tarsal , crural , patellar , pedal . 5. Identify at least four (4) anatomical regions (from the table on page 1) that would be associated with the trunk of the body . 6. Using your textbook as a reference, describe (in your own words) the regions of the body associated with the following terms: a. Pelvic— b. Inguinal— c. Dorsal— d. Gluteal— 7. Identify at least three (3) anatomical regions (from table 1) that a podiatrist would likely examine, diagnose and/or treat.

Lab Activity #1 © Cory Lindsay 2022 4 State the most appropriate directional term that describes the position of: 10. The spinal cord relative to the heart. ______________________________ 11. The ears relative to the nose. ___________________________________ 12. The urinary bladder relative to the intestines. _______________________ 13. The diaphragm relative to the liver. _______________________________ 14. The skin relative to the muscles. _________________________________ 15. The tarsal region relative to the popliteal region. _____________________ 16. The mental region relative to the umbilical region. ___________________ 17. The stomach relative to the esophagus and small intestine. ____________ 18. The brachial region relative to the carpal region. _____________________ 19. The hallux relative to the palmar region. ___________________________ Fill in the blanks with the correct anatomical directional terminology (from table 2). In each case: consider the body in the anatomical position when answering each question. You will be responsible for applying directional terminology on the lab practical.

Right inguinal region _______________________________________________________ Label the nine abdominopelvic regions (above, left) and quadrants (above, right). Below: identify at least one organ associated with each of the following:

Lab Activity #1 © Cory Lindsay 2022 7 Body cavities Consider the diagrams below. Label the body cavities (highlighted) and other structures in the boxes provided.

Lab Activity #1 © Cory Lindsay 2022 8 30. Identify an organ that is retroperitoneal . 31. Identify at least two organs that are found within the mediastinum . 32. Identify one organ associated with the pelvic cavity . 33. A person suffering a headache would complain of pain emanating from the mental region . 34. In regard to the antebrachial, palmar, axillary and pedal regions, the only region not associated with the upper extremities is the axillary region . 35. A landmark on the body that is found near the midline is the sternum . 36. The inferior-most component of the body in the anatomical position is the dorsal region . 37. A person suffering from appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) will likely have pain in their left lumbar region. 38. An ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialist would likely diagnose/treat the cervical region of the body. True/False. For each statement below: 1) Determine whether the statement is true or false; and 2) if the statement is false, write a short description that corrects the statement.
