Quadrants (4 by 2 planes) Regions (9 by 4 planes) |
Abdominopelvic Cavity can be divided in 2 ways |
|
Umbilical Region Epigastric Region Hypogastric (Pubic) Region Iliac, or inguinal regions Lumbar regions Hypochondriac regions |
The 9 Regions of the Abdominopelvic Cavity |
|
Umbilical Region |
The centermost region, which includes the umbilicus (navel) |
|
Epigastric region |
Immediately superior to the umbilical region; overlies most of the stomach |
|
Hypogastric (pubic) region |
Immediately inferior to the umbilical region; encompasses the pubic area |
|
Iliac or inguinal regions |
Lateral to the hypogastric region and overlying the superior parts of the hip bones |
|
Lumbar regions |
Between the ribs and the flaring portions of the hip bones; lateral to the umbilical region |
|
Hypochondriac regions |
Flanking the epigastric region laterally and overlying the lower ribs |
|
Oral Nasal Orbital Middle Ear Synovial |
Other Body Cavities |
|
Between the vertebrae and the knee and hip joins |
Where can synovial cavities be found? |
|
Section |
A cut along an imaginary plane through the body wall or organ. |
|
Diaphragm |
Muscle that subdivides the ventral body cavity |
|
dorsally, the vertebral column laterally and anteriorly, the pelvis |
Bony landmarks of the abdominopelvic cavity? |
|
abdominal |
Which body cavity affords the least protection to its internal structures? |
|
integumentary, skeletal, muscular |
Which organ system would not be represented in any of the body cavities? |
|
function of the serous membranes |
To cover the organs and produce a lubricating fluid that reduces friction as organs slide across one another or against cavity walls during function. |
|
Cranial Cavity |
The most protective body cavity |
|
Abdominal |
The cavity whose name means belly |
|
Abdominal |
The cavity whose walls are muscular |
