Upon completion of the study of human body systems: a. name the eleven organ systems that make up the human body b. give the function of each of the eleven organ system that make up the human body name two or three structures that compose each organ system c.Explanation / Answer
a)
Anatomical position is described as a standard body position that acts as an anatomical reference point. The anatomical position results in erect body with feet in slightly apart position. This is similar to standing at attention with the palms facing forward and thumbs pointing as a body. Anatomical position is useful to understand the directional terms describing the body position regardless of its actual position. The terms right and left are referred to the sides of person or cadaver.
b.
The term anterior refers toward or at the front of the body. The term posterior means toward or at the back of the body.
c.
When the body is cut to separate the brain into anterior and posterior parts the body must be cut in the frontal or coronal plane that divides into anterior and posterior regions.
d.
The body is divided into different planes called sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes.
A frontal plane is the vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior regions. Frontal plane is otherwise known as coronal plane.
Saggital plane divides the body in a vertical line into right and left sides.
Midsaggital plane divides the bilaterally symmetrical body into right and left halves. It passes through the center point on head at the top and passes down along the body.
Transverse plane divides body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves.
Oblique plane divides body at an angle which is neither vertical nor horizontal.
