Open Ended

What is the role of the serous membranes in the body?

Serous membranes

• Line ​body cavities and reduce friction

  • Visceral - ​against the organ/s within the cavity

  • Parietal – against the wall of the cavity

• ​Regional names:

  • Pleural – surrounds the lungs

  • Pericardial- surrounds the heart

  • Peritoneal - surrounds the abdominal organs

Multiple Choice

• Artery

• Nerve

• Vein

Multiple Choice

Which anatomical plane is represented by C?

• Axial/Transverse

• Coronal

• Sagittal

Anatomical planes

• 2D slice through 3D space

• Assumes anatomical position

• ​Sagittal

  • Mid-sagittal ​- R=L, para-sagittal - R and L unequal

• Coronal - anterior and posterior
