Textbook Question

Match each anatomical region shown in the image with the anatomical term that describes it.
_____2. Dorsal
<IMAGE>

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the term 'dorsal'. In anatomy, 'dorsal' refers to the back or posterior side of the body. It is the opposite of 'ventral,' which refers to the front or anterior side.

Step 2: Identify the anatomical regions in the image provided. Look for areas that correspond to the back side of the body, such as the spine, shoulder blades, or posterior aspect of the head.

Step 3: Match the anatomical regions in the image to the term 'dorsal.' Ensure that you are selecting regions that are located on the posterior side of the body.

Step 4: If multiple regions in the image correspond to the dorsal side, select all that apply. Remember, the question allows for more than one choice.

Step 5: Double-check your selections to ensure they align with the definition of 'dorsal' and the anatomical regions shown in the image.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Anatomical Position

The anatomical position is a standard reference point used in anatomy to describe the locations and relationships of body parts. In this position, the body is standing upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward. Understanding this position is crucial for accurately identifying anatomical terms and regions.

Dorsal

The term 'dorsal' refers to the back side of the body or an organism. In humans, it indicates the posterior aspect, which is opposite to the ventral (front) side. This concept is essential for distinguishing between various anatomical regions and understanding their relative positions.

Anatomical Terminology

Anatomical terminology is a set of standardized terms used to describe the locations, directions, and relationships of body structures. It includes terms like anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral, which help in accurately communicating about the body. Familiarity with these terms is vital for matching anatomical regions with their correct descriptors.

Textbook Question

A nurse informed John that she was about to take blood from his antecubital region. What part of his body was she referring to? Later, she came back and said that she was going to give him an antibiotic shot in the deltoid region. Where on his body did he get the shot? Before John left the office, the nurse noticed that his left sural region was badly bruised. What part of his body was black and blue?
