Week 1 Lab (ABSN BIO 315)

Week 1 Lab:
Anatomical Terminology
and Appendicular Skeleton
Part 1:
Open up the Ebook for your textbook and find Atlas A: General Orientation to Human Anatomy. Use the information there to
answer the following questions.
What is anatomical position and what is its purpose?
Give an example of a situation where anatomical position and anatomical terminology would be more useful than regular
directions. Feel free to get imaginative here.
Fill in the blanks below with appropriate terms. Note: for this particular exercise, there are many options.
directional
Name of a structure is to Name of the second structure
term
forearm is proximal to hand
head is superior to ________________
________________ is inferior to tibia
breast is anterior to ________________
________________ is distal to upper arm
brain is medial to ________________

directional
Name of a structure is to Name of the second structure
term
forearm is proximal to hand
head is superior to ________________
________________ is inferior to tibia
breast is anterior to ________________
________________ is lateral to trunk
Label the planes of the body.

What is the difference between midsagittal and parasagittal?
What does “section” mean in anatomy?
Which type of section created each of the following views?

Label the anatomical directions designated by the arrows.
Label the serous membranes and cavities of the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. (Word bank: visceral pleura, visceral
pericardium, visceral peritoneum, parietal pleura, parietal pericardium, parietal peritoneum, pleural cavity, pericardial cavity,
peritoneal cavity)
Label the regions of the body.
Fill in the blanks with appropriate directional terms. There may be more than one possibility–decide whether the possibilities
are equally relevant.

and use chapter 8 of your textbook to label the bone diagrams. Use names, not numbers. Remember to identify whether each
image is a view of the anterior or posterior side of the bone.

Bone markings are the details of bone structures and can teach us a lot about how bones come together and how
muscles attach to them. Some bone markings stick out from the rest of the bone–like a bump, spine, ridge, or
hook–these are called projections. Other bone markings are hollow places (depressions) or holes. An
articulation is where two bone surfaces come together (articulus = “joint”). These surfaces tend to conform to one
another, such as one being rounded and the other cupped, to facilitate the function of the articulation. Some
projections and depressions are part of an articulation and some are the attachment points for tendons and
ligaments. Holes and other openings and grooves allow blood vessels and nerves to enter or pass through the
bone.
Find five features from your list that are projections, five that are depressions, and five that are something else.
Projection Depression Other
