INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN BODY
Scope of Laboratory Activity
This laboratory activity consists of four (4) worksheets:
Worksheet no. 1 Anatomical Term
Worksheet no. 2 Directional Terms
Worksheet no. 3 Body Cavities
Worksheet no. 4 Body Planes and Sections
Overview
Imagine a student nurse working together with a health care provider. The doctor in charge gave
specific instructions about the plan of care for the patient. Would it be possible to execute the
plan of care correctly and effectively if the student nurse has no or has limited knowledge on
anatomical knowledge?
Basic knowledge on anatomical language is essential in effective communication among
healthcare providers. It is important to know that sharing common language in healthcare is
important in the effective and efficient delivery of care and transfer of information.
Objectives
After completing this exercise, you should be able to:
1. Use appropriate anatomical terminology to describe body landmarks, body surfaces,
directions, and planes.
2. Identify the body cavities and important organs in each of the body cavities
