Basic Anatomical Terms (Body Region)

Body region is consists of many terms. Let me share to you some of the things that I know when we have this topic in our class. This was the most interesting so far.

When we say cephalic, it is our head. Orbital is located in the eye area, oral is our mouth, otic is the ear, nasal is our nose and buccal is our cheek. When we go lower from our head, we'll found our neck which is what we call the cervical. Our shoulder is the achromial, axillary for our armpit and in the breastbone area we can found the sternal. the upper arm is called the and brachial and antebrachial for the forearmwhile the depressed area in front of our elbow is what we call the antecubital. For our hand we also have terms for it. For our wrist, it is called carpal, our palm is called palmar and our fingers are called digital. Our knee is what we call the patellar and femoral for our upper thigh. Hmm well there are so many terms in this body region. It really includes many terms. Those are just some of them.

Well I really understand this topic so no need for me to suggest something because it was explained well by Sir Greg.
