SURFACE ANATOMY

• Regio frontalis (front of head)
• Regio occipitalis (back of head)
• Regio Temporalis (side of head)
• Regio basilaris (base of head)
• Regio Verticalis (roof of head)

• neck
• Regio cervicalis anterior (front of neck)
• Regio cervicalis/colli posterior (back of neck)
• Regio cervicalis lateralis( side of neck)
• root of neck

• Clavicle lies horizontally at the root of neck separating it from the front of chest.the bone is subcutaneous , and therefore palpable throughout its length.medially it articulates with sternum at the sternoclavicular joint and laterally with the acromioclavicular joint.both the joints are palpable because of the upwward projecting ends of the clavicle.
• Jugular notch (interclavicular or suprasternal notch)
• Sternal angle (angle of Louis) is felt as a transverse ridge about 5cm below the jugular notch.
• Epigastric fossa (pit of stomach) is the depression in infrasternal angle. The fossa overlies the xiphoid process, and is bounded on each side by the seventh costal cartilage.
• Nipple is markedly variable in position in females.In males and in immature females , it usually lies in the fourth intercostal space just medial to the midclavicular line.
• Midclavicular line
• Infraclavicular fossa (deltopectoral triangle)
• Tip of coracoid process
• Acromion
• Axilla
• Midaxillary line

• thoracic inlet
• base of thorax
• chest wall
• Regio pectoralis (Pectoral region)
• thorax
• regio presternalis
• regio pectoralis

ABDOMINAL WALL

• abdominal wall

• side of abdomen

ABDOMINAL CAVITY

• Regiones abdominales (Abdominal regions)
• regio hypochondriaca (hypochondrium)
• epigastrium
• umbilical region
• peritoneum

• Front pelvis
• Back Pelvis
• Side Pelvis
• pelvic floor

Scapula (shoulder blade ) is placed on posterolateral aspect of upper part of thorax.

Eighth rib is just below the inferior angle of scapula.

Iliac crest is a curved bony ridge lying below the waist. Sacrum lies between the right and left dimples of posterior superior iliac spine. Coccyx lies between two buttocks in median plane.
