The seven organizational approaches to studying the human body are body planes and body directions, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscopic to macroscopic, body systems and medical specializes. The body planes and body direction is the division of the body in to sections from front to back, right and left, and top and bottom. These sections are called the midsagittal plane, the coronal plane, and the transverse plane. This approach is used when studying organs and

provides unique information by dividing or organizing the body in a logical way. These 7 organizational approaches are: * Body Planes and Body Directions * Body Cavities * Quadrants and Regions * Anatomy and Physiology * Microscopic and Macroscopic * Body Systems * Medical Specialties Body Planes and Body Directions: Within the body planes and body directions, you have subcategories as well, such as: The coronal or frontal plane, which is the vertical plane that divides

information about the body. Each approach divides and organizes complex information about the body in a logical way. These approaches include the following: body planes and body directions, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscopic to macroscopic, body systems, and medical specialties” (Turley, 2011). Body planes and body direction is one approach that divides the body into front and back, right and left, and top and bottom. The three main body planes are coronal, sagittal

I. An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology (pp. 1–3) A. Anatomy is the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to each other, and physiology is the study of the function of body parts (p. 2). B. Topics of Anatomy (p. 2) 1. Gross (macroscopic) anatomy is the study of structures large enough to be seen with the naked eye. a. Regional anatomy is the study of all body structures in a given body region. b. Systemic anatomy is the study of all structures

Respiratory System & Disease Jeff Farmer Anatomy& Physiology II Casey Veatch March 14, 2012 As we live our busy lives, there are many things that we take for granted. Things like having running water, weather that’s live-able, weekends, TV with 100 channels, and NFL football. But one very important thing that we all take for granted is the involuntary process of our respiratory system and breathing. The automatic breathing

Module 2 Assessment “Briefly describe the importance of the interaction between the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in maintaining the body’s internal balance” In answering this question we must first have an understanding of how the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system operate independently of each other. The cardiovascular system The cardiovascular system refers to the heart, blood vessels and the blood. Blood contains oxygen and other nutrients which the body needs

Anatomy & Physiology of the Respiratory System respiratory system The respiratory system is situated in the thorax, and is responsible for gaseous exchange between the circulatory system and the outside world. Air is taken in via the upper airways (the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx) through the lower airways (trachea, primary bronchi and bronchial tree) and into the small bronchioles and alveoli within the lung tissue. Move the pointer over the coloured regions of the diagram; the names

failure, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Because general surgeons had the expertise to perform fluid resuscitation, blood transfusion, central venous and pulmonary artery catheter insertion, tracheostomy, chest tube insertion, and abscess drainage, they became more involved, clinically and administratively, in the intensive care of both surgical and nonsurgical patients in the ICU. Anesthetists became more involved with the respiratory care of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
