pelvic cavity and perineum
to describe the location of the many abdominal to describe the location of the main abdominal and pelvic organs more easily, anatomist in clinians use two methods of dividing the abdominopelvic cavity into smaller areas
abdominal pelvic regions and quadrants
in the first method two vertical lines, align like a tric-tac-toe grid
abdominopelvic regions and quadrants
it divides our section the body, making it possible to look inside and deserve the body's structure
planes
runs vertically through the body separating it into right and left portions

sagittal plane that passes through the midline of the body, dividing it into equal right and left halves
medium plane
runs parallel to the ground dividing the body into in superior and portions
transverse/ horizontal plane
runs vertically to divide the body into anterior and posterior back parts
frontal plane
line the trunk cavities and cover the organs within the cavities
serous membranes
are found against the outer wall of a body cavity
parietal membranes
are found covering the organs in the body cavity
visceral membranes
contains three serous membrane-lined cavities : a cavity for the heart called precordial cavity and two lung cavities called the plural cavities
