Review Anatomical & Directional Terminology

Introduction to anatomical terminology The video describes the terminology of anatomical directions, and explains WHY it matters! There are a few places where it pauses and asks you a quick question. Directional Terminology Superior Inferior Lateral Medial distal proximal distal proximal anterior posterior superior inferior caudal cranial dorsal ventral After you have watched the video, reinforce your learning here Find the term that describes the relationship between the body parts (in each case the person is in anatomical position) the fingers are ........ to the elbow distal the chin is ......to the forehead inferior the navel is ....... to the hip medial the patella is ........ to the ankle proximal the dermis is...... to the epidermis deep the epidermis is ....... to skeletal muscle superficial the chin is...... to the sternum superior the ears are ..... to the nose lateral Now choose the plane that "divides" the body into these sections (for example in an X-ray or MRI) front and back sections coronal (frontal) equal left and right sides mid-sagittal top and bottom sections transverse Label the body regions using the terms discussed in the slides for notes. cephalic facial cervical deltoid thoracic brachial abdominal antecubital antebrachial manual carpus digital inguinal femoral crural pedal digital Fill in the body regions using th terms discussed in the notes. cephalic cervical scapular brachial vertebral olecranon lumbar antebrachial gluteal femoral popliteal sural calcaneal 52-year-old male patient entered the ER experiencing shortness of breath, hyperhydrosis, extreme anxiety, and acute severe thoracic pain that radiates distally to the left brachial region. The patient is also experiencing pain in thebuccal, mental, and cervical regions. Patient has suffered from angina in the past, and applied a nitroglycerin patch to the right pelvic region that has had no effect. Patient is resistant to the thermometer orally , so temperature must be taken from the axillary region. Angioplasty has been recommended due to past history, and catheter will be inserted in the medial inguinal regionwhere femoral artery is located Rewrite the directions above into "everyday" terms so the patients family will understand what is going to happen to their family member. The statements in blue should be rewritten. 16-year-old male was brought in experiencing nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and muscle pains in thecervical, abdominal, femoral, brachial, sural, dorsal, and gluteal regions.Patient also complains of severe radiating pain in thesuperior portion of the cephalic region. The patient suffered a short seizure during his soccer game before being brought to the ER. Further assessment showed an increased body temperature, rapid pulse, and asuperficial rashextendingdistally from the brachial to antebrachial regionson both upper and lower lateral limbs. Patient is also experiencing intermittent emesis. Treat with 0.9% saline IV inserted at manus region to avoid rash, and wait for further test results. Rewrite the directions in blue so that the patients family will understand the doctors notes.
