Anatomical Orientation

The purpose of this Lab is to gain a full understanding of the Anatomical Orientation through completion of an in-depth worksheet, using all available research tools. Although there are a great number terms to learn, fully understanding each will be absolutely key in understanding the location of all body structures covered in this unit.

Hypothesis:
If I review all instructions thoroughly, and utilize all resources in the process of completing the Anatomical Orientation worksheet activity, then I will gain the necessary understanding of Anatomical Orientation, which is the purpose of this Lab. Following completion of the worksheet, I will be able to easily identify key orientation terms after researching and studying each section of the worksheet completely.
