There are 206 total bones in the body, feet, and hands. Those bones protect our organs , which are divided into 9 cavities. One of those cavities is the Dorsal cavity which is the backside of your body, and is divided into two sections. Those two sections are the Cranial cavity, which contains the brain and the spinal cavity which contains the spinal cord. Another Cavity is the Ventral , which is the front side of the body. The ventral cavity has 6 cavities which are divided within it. The Thoracic cavity is the chest and contains the esophagus, trachea, bronchi, lungs, heart, and large blood vessels. The Abdominal cavity is the pelvic area divided into a upper and lower part , the upper includes the stomach , small intestines , some of the large intestine , appendiix , liver , glabladder , pancreas ,and spleen.The lower part or the Pelvic cavitiy contains the urinary bladder , reproductive organs and the the last part of the large intestine. Three other cavitites in the ventral cavity are loacated on your face. Those cavities are the Orbital which contains your eyes, the Nasal cavity which contains the nose , and the Buccal cavity which is the mouth. All of those cavities metioned are divided into these three body planes. The Transverse plane which splits the body into the top and bottom half (from the waist up or the waist down). The top body parts are called Superior and the lower body parts are called Inferior. Crainal parts are located near the head. Caudal body parts located near the tail bone. The Median (Midsagittal) splits the body into right and left sides. Body parts located near the midline are Medial, and body parts away from the midline are Lateral. The Coronal plane is an imaginary line that seperates the front of your body from the back. The front side of your body is called the Ventral side or anterior, and the back side is called the Dorsal side or posterior. Proximal is situated nearer to the center of the body or the point of attachment and Distal is away from the body or remote from the point of attachment. the Abdominal regions are right upper quandrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, and left lower quadrant. the center regions is the umbilical, and hypogastric, or pelvic. on either side of the center regions are the hypochondriac, lumber. and the illiac, or inguinal
