Reviewing Anatomical Language
Anatomical Position Practice
1. In the space below, draw a figure standing in anatomical position and label the right and left sides appropriately.
2. Use the correct regional term for each of the body part description below.
- _______________________ forehead
- _______________________ lower back
- _______________________ hip
- _______________________ ankle
- _______________________ front of elbow
- _______________________ buttocks
- _______________________ breastbone
- _______________________ genital region
- _______________________ wrist
- _______________________ thigh
- _______________________ fingers or toes
- _______________________ armpit
- _______________________ eye socket
- _______________________ head
- _______________________ groin
- _______________________ arm
3. Complete each statement by choosing the appropriate anatomical terms.
- The forehead is _______________________ to the mouth, and it is also _______________________ to the nose.
- The scapular region is _______________________ to the occipital region, and it is also _______________________ to the vertebral column.
- While the deltoid is _______________________ to the neck, it is also _______________________ to the wrist.
- The _______________________ section divides the body into superior and inferior parts which means the thoracic cavity is _______________________ to the cranial cavity but _______________________ to the pelvic cavity.
- The heart is found in the _______________________ cavity. The stomach and small intestines are found in the _______________________ cavity while the brain is in the _______________________ cavity.
- The umbilicus is on the _______________________ side of the body which is also called _______________________. The umbilicus is also _______________________ to the abdominal muscles.
- The tibial region is _______________________ to the fibular region but both are _______________________ to the thigh.
- Sural is on the _______________________ side of crural.
- All body cavities can be seen in the _______________________ and _______________________ sections.
- The spinal cord is located in the _______________________ cavity and the reproductive organs are found in the _______________________ cavity.
4. Correctly identify each body plane/section.
