EXERCISE 7. CLINICAL THINKING CHALLENGE
1. Anatomy deals with the form and structure of the body
and its parts—what things look like and where they are
located. Physiology deals with the functions of the body
directional terms. In this example, the x-rays will enter
the dorsal surface of the leg and exit the palmar sur-
face. The joint between the large metacarpal bone
and the proximal phalanx will need the x-ray machine

CAUDAL ABDOMINAL CAVITY
The abdominal cavity is lined by a thin membrane called the
peritoneum , which also covers its contents. The visceral layer
of peritoneum covers the abdominal organs, and the parietal
layer lines the abdominal cavity. As in the thorax, a potential
