Anatomical Terms Used to Describe Body Sections
Sometimes, in order to study internal body parts, it helps to imagine the body as being divided into sections. Medical professionals often use terms such as sagittal, transverse, and frontal (coronal) to describe how the body is divided into sections. The following list outlines these terms, and Figure 4-6 illustrates the relevant planes:
A sagittal plane divides the body into left and right portions.
A midsagittal plane runs lengthwise down the midline of the body and divides it into equal left and right halves.
A transverse plane divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.
A frontal, or coronal, plane divides the body into anterior (frontal) and posterior (rear) portions.
Anatomical Terms Used to Describe Body Parts
Many other anatomical terms are used to describe different regions or parts of the body. For example, the term brachial refers to the arm and the term femoral

used to describe body parts.
Body Cavities and Abdominal Regions
The largest body cavities are the dorsal cavity and the ventral cavity. The dor­sal cavity is divided into the cranial cavity and the spinal cavity. The cranial cavity houses the brain and the spinal cavity contains the spinal cord. The ventral cavity is divided into the thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity. The muscle called the diaphragm separates the thoracic and abdomi­nopelvic cavities. The lungs, heart, esophagus, and trachea are contained in the thoracic cavity. The abdominopelvic cavity is divided into a superior abdominal cavity and an inferior pelvic cavity. The stomach, small and large intestines, gallbladder, liver, spleen, kidneys, and pancreas are all located in the abdominal cavity. The bladder and internal reproductive organs are located in the pelvic cavity. Figure 4-7 depicts these cavities. The abdominal area can be further divided into nine regions or four quadrants, which are illustrated in Figure 4-8.

Learning Outcome Key Concepts/Examples
. Recognize medical prefixes,
word roots, and suffixes to build commonly used medical terms.
. Define common medical abbreviations.
. Explain body position, direction, and parts using medical terms.
Many words in medical terminology come from Greek and Latin words. Medical words consist of a word root, a prefix and/or suffix, and sometimes a combining vowel. Building and decoding word parts will help you recognize and understand medical terminology.
Abbreviations and symbols help shorten the time and space needed to record information in medical settings. Certain medical abbreviations are prone to errors and should not be used. Check the meaning of abbreviations carefully in practice. Some medical abbreviations are derived from Latin or Greek terms.
Specific anatomical medical terms are used to identify body parts, planes, and positions. Knowing these terms will help the phlebotomist perform his or her job more efficiently.

Introduction

Body systems are the organ systems formed when organs join with other organs or structures to carry out vital body functions. For example, the heart and blood vessels unite to form the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system’s organs circulate blood throughout the body to ensure that all body cells receive enough nutrients.
There are 12 body systems: the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, lym­phatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, urinary, and male and female reproductive systems. The study of the structure of body systems is known as human anatomy. The study of the function of body systems is known as human physiology.
Illness, diseases, and disorders require investigation to determine the cause and/or the best treatment. Illness refers to the subjective symptoms of feeling unwell, whereas diseases have specific, identifiable causes and symptoms, and disorders include specific abnormalities to the body.
The diseases and disorders that affect the human body can be classified accord­ing to the body system or systems they affect. For example, a bladder infection can be classified as a disease of the urinary system. Physicians diagnose diseases and disorders by examining the patient’s physical symptoms and by ordering laboratory and other diagnostic tests. Therefore, one method of classifying labo­ratory tests is to organize them according to body system. This chapter contains a brief review of each body system, followed by common diseases and disorders that affect that system and the laboratory tests used to diagnose or monitor them.

Integumentary System

The integumentary system is unique in that it encloses and protects all of the other body systems. It consists of the skin (derm/o, dermat/o, cutane/o), hair (trich/o), nails (onych/o, ungu/o), and sebaceous (oil) and sudoriferous (sweat) glands. The integumentary system provides protection, regulates temperature, and prevents water loss. When sunlight hits the skin, it converts the substance 7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin D. The skin, which is the largest organ of the body, also helps in sensory perception. Sensory perception is the interpretation

of your senses. In the skin, there are nerve endings that create your sense of touch. See Figure 5-1.
Integumentary System Disorders and Associated Lab Tests
Viruses that affect the skin, such as rubella, rubeola, and herpes zoster, which causes chickenpox and shingles, are common integumentary system disor­ders. Some allergies also cause skin disorders, such as rashes. Fungal infections are a common problem for toenails, fingernails, and skin. One of the more seri­ous integumentary system disorders is skin cancer. The three major types of skin cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Of the three, melanoma is the most serious. Table 5-1 lists common laboratory tests used to diagnose these and other disorders of the integumentary system.
