Body Orientation: Directional Terms and Body Planes



Body Orientation: Directional Terms and Body PlanesWarm UpObjective: Scientists will explain the directional terms and body planes by taking notes and analyzing a lab. What is the topic?What will you be doing?Why is this important?How will you know if you have done well?BODY PLANESName of planeDivides the body intoBODY DIRECTIONSCadaver (Gummy Bear) LabDefine the following:What is anatomical position?How do we divide our bodies three-dimensionally? (Anatomical Planes)Directional TermsSuperior _________________________ Inferior ___________________________Anterior _________________________ Posterior __________________________Medial __________________________ Lateral ____________________________Distal ___________________________ Proximal ___________________________Superficial _______________________ Deep ______________________________Dorsal __________________________ Ventral_____________________________Materials Needed: 3 – gummy bears/Sour Patch Kids per group (cadaver)1 – plastic knife per student (scalpel)1 – paper plate student (dissecting tray)Procedure:Place the gummy bear in the anatomical position on the dissecting tray. Dissection: Divide each gummy bear using the knife, draw a sketch of each part, and label it. Cut along the transverse plane. Cut along the midsagittal plane. Cut along the frontal plane. Answer the questions below: What type of plane would divide the cervical region from the patellar region?What type of plane would divide the vertebral region from the umbilical region?What type of plane would divide the body into right and left halves?The head is ______________________ to the feet.The shoulder is _____________________ to the wrist and ____________________ to the elbow. ................
