Introduction
We will be conducting a lab in which we make and then operate on clay people. This lab is intended to help
clarify anatomical position, various parts of the body, and sections/planes.
In your lab notebook- below the title, draw a picture of your clay person, in
anatomical position. Include a directional rosette.

Instead of N, S, E, W…you will add S, I, R, L (superior, inferior, right and left)
1. Label the following on your picture (one point for each): use art notebooks & study guides

Autopsy & Surgery—title +1
Record in your lab note book which organ you exchanged. +1
Your person has had a gallbladder attack and needs to have it removed. Record in your lab notebook –
WHY someone would need to have a gallbladder removed. What impact might this have on their life?

Sagittal section: make one sagittal section your clay person. Record at least 3 organs that were impacted by
the bullet’s trajectory.

Draw a picture of the sagittal section in your lab notebook.

Analysis and Review: You may answer these questions in a group, but please record your answers in
your lab notebook in your OWN WORDS.
1. You are responsible for teaching medical interns the planes of the body.
How would you instruct them to
make a sagittal cut on your clay person? Describe how a sagittal cut divides the body.
2. How would you instruct your interns to make a coronal/frontal cut on your clay person?
coronal/frontal cut divides the body. +2

a transverse/horizontal cut divides the body. +2
Identify the two major subdivisions of the body as a whole and list the primary anatomical areas or
components of each. (Refer to figure 1-13 in the 16th edition on page 20 and figure 1-6 in the 17th edition on page 13.)
5. An x-ray technician has been asked to take x-rays of the entire large intestine (colon), including the
appendix. Which of the nine abdominopelvic regions must be included in the x-ray? Please name all

sections.
6. Your clay person develops an infection post-operation. The clay person develops a temperature of 104.5
degrees Fahrenheit.
a. What is the condition that is out of the desired homeostatic range? +1
b.
What are the four basic components that are involved in detecting and controlling the condition that is
outside the desired range? (Refer to section in textbook called, “Basic Components of Control
Mechanisms.”) +4
c. What kind of feedback control (negative or positive) would function in this case? Explain.
