Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The orientation planes are imaginary planes that provide the location of the organs or regions in the body with respect to the other. The orientation planes help to have the order of the organs separated by the planes. They can be visualized by using the XYZ coordinate system. It makes the study of anatomy easier. The three orientation planes are the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes.

- The human body is divided into dorsal and ventral body cavities and corresponding subdivisions.

In your own words, explain how these ideas tie together the anatomy and physiology disciplines. NOTE: there is not really a wrong answer here as long as you are thoughtful, nor do you need to write for pages and pages. Address each of the three areas with a brief definition in your own words, and then give a few sentences on how they are tied together.arrow_forwardPlease know the definition of anatomical positions. Also, if you can define how you can describe the location of tissue from the reference, it will be great. Such as your ear is distal from the nose. How about other parts of the body? Also, please know the body plane to explain each part of your body. Dorsal, ventral, inferior, superior, anterior, posterior, medial? Sagittal, coronal transverse sections?arrow_forward
