Ice Ice Med Terms
Alright stop, collaborate and listen face forward in anatomical position. Body planes, 3 different sections, going different ways in various directions. Do you know the first one? We don't know, so listen to us good cuz we don't rap slow. They all divide the body into two separate portions, so listen up - that's the rule we're enforcing. Transverse - upper and lower that's the truth. Median plane - cut you into, right and left - yea that's what it do. Frontal or coronal, that's up to you, it means the same thing, that's front and back too. If there was a problem yo I'll solve it Body cavities could possibly resolve it Dorsal, ventral, orbital Nasal and buccal (repeat) Now that your brains are pumpin' abdominal regions boutta have you jumpin' quick to the point - quadrants and regions, right, left, up, left, right down that's the quadrants. |
