The human body is an amazing part of being human. There are so many parts that have their own job to do to keep the body in function. There are seven approaches in organizing the way the body is divided to make us human. They consist of body planes and body directions, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscope to macroscopic, body systems, and medical specialties.
When a patient is under the care of a physician there are certain obligations the physician has in their profession. It is their responsibility to perform the best care for their patience is such cases as tests and other diagnostic procedures. For example, if a patient is at their respiratory doctor, which would be their Pulmonologist, he/she may want an x-ray of their thoracic cavity which consists of the chest where the lungs are located. In addition, in most cases, in radiology the position that is used is defined as the “Standard Anatomical Position. In this position the patient is standing in an erect position (posteroanterior or anteroposterior) with feet together ( slightly apart) and the forearms are rotated with the palms forward and thumbs are usually moved slightly out and away from the body, so the hands do not touch the sides of the body.” (www.healthpages.org). In addition, when there is a specific origin of the body in which the physician is speaking of or labels in a patience chart there are certain terms that are appropriate in the medical language. In result, as a medical profession, understanding the body planes would be an up most importance.” A plane is an imaginary flat surface that divides the body into sections. For example, there are three main body planes which are the frontal or the coronal plane, sagittal, and the transverse.
