2. which body cavity affords the least protection to its internal structures? ______

Explanation:

Question 4 (Body Planes)

• 1st Figure: The plane divides the body into left and right parts, characteristic of a sagittal (median) plane.
• 2nd Figure: The plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts, characteristic of a frontal (coronal) plane.
• 3rd Figure: The plane divides the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) parts, characteristic of a transverse (horizontal) plane.

Question 5 (Body Cavities for Surgery)

• 1. Lung lobe surgery: Lungs are in the thoracic cavity (part of the ventral cavity).
• 2. Ovary removal: Ovaries are in the abdominopelvic cavity (part of the ventral cavity).
• 3. Ruptured disk surgery: Disks are in the spinal cavity (part of the dorsal cavity).
• 4. Appendectomy: Appendix is in the abdominopelvic cavity (ventral).
• 5. Gallbladder removal: Gallbladder is in the abdominopelvic cavity (ventral).

Question 6 (Abdominal Surface Regions)

• 1. Lateral lower ribs: Hypochondriac regions (right/left) lie over the lower ribs laterally.
• 2. Belly button: Umbilical region surrounds the navel.
• 3. Pubic area: Pubic region encompasses the pubic bone area.
• 4. Stomach overlying: Epigastric region is medial and overlies the stomach.

Question 7 (Bony Landmarks of Abdominopelvic Cavity)

Answer:

1. Sagittal (or Median) Plane
2. Frontal (or Coronal) Plane
3. Transverse (or Horizontal) Plane
