Lab: Anatomical Scavenger Hunt Source: Cynthia Harley, Ph.D. Name: __________________ Introduction You are allowed to use your books, notes, the models, and even the Internet for this exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to make you more comfortable with the anatomical terminology that we learned in chapter 1 and that we will be using throughout the next two semesters. Keep in mind that some terms may be more appropriate than others for the same answer. For example, if I asked where your nose was located relative to your ears, “medial” would be appropriate, but if I asked which plane divides your nose from your ears, you’d say “sagittal.” Along with your partner, you can use your existing knowledge of the human body or the anatomical models in class to answer these questions. Of course, you are also allowed to use the book and class notes. Required Materials • Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas app • Articulated skeleton (optional) • Whole body anatomy model (optional) Anatomical Terminology Questions Answer the following questions and turn in your answers for this week’s lab grade. 1. Which plane separates the body into superior and inferior portions? 2. Which plane separates the body into anterior and posterior portions? 3. The mouth is located _________________ to the ears. 4. The elbow is located _________________ to the wrist. 1

5. The lungs are located ________________ to the ribs. 6. The umbilicus (belly button) is located ______________ to the sternum. It is located in the __________________ abdominal region. 7. The nose is located ________________ and ________________ to the ears. 8. A scratch wound that does not penetrate the skin is said to be a _________________ wound.

13. The appendix is located in the ____________________ abdominopelvic quadrant. What abdominopelvic region is this? _______________________________ 14. The spleen is located in the ______________________ abdominopelvic quadrant. What abdominopelvic region is this? _____________________________ 15. A patient who was in a knife fight suffered a 2-inch stab wound to his back. The knife entered through the posterior thorax along the midsagittal plane and entered the posterior aspect. What structure in the posterior aspect would have been injured by this wound? 16. The urinary bladder is found within the ___________________________ region. 17. The ______________ cavity contains the heart, and it is surrounded by a membrane called the 3

________________________. 18. Name a structure that is located posterior and inferior to the liver. 19. Name a structure that is on the ventral side of the heart, located more laterally within the axial region. 20. Name a structure that is located toward the dorsal side of the body, lateral and superior to the hamstring but inferior to the heart. Note: Transverse sections including this structure would include the pancreas. 21. Name a structure that is in the medial part of the body, located inferior to the lungs and posterior to the intestines. Note: A coronal section would contain this structure and the heart, and it is more caudal than the pancreas. 22. Name a structure that is located cranial to the abdominal cavity, caudal to the neck, and dorsal to the sternum. 23. Name a structure that is inferior, appendicular, and very distal. 24. If you are taking an axillary temperature, where would you place the thermometer? 4

25. If you are testing a patellar reflex, what area are you working on? 26. Mental refers to what part of the body? 27. If you sleep on your stomach, you are sleeping in a _____________________ position; whereas if you sleep on your back, you are sleeping in a _____________________ position. 28. The epigastric region is __________________ the stomach, where the hypogastric region is __________________. 29. From our terminology, you would know that the brachial plexus refers to something that has to do with the ________________________. 30. If you are asked to take a buccal swab, which cavity would you swab? 31. An injury to the ear would be described as ________________________________. 32.
