Anatomical Regions

Anatomical regions refer to specific parts of the body used for identification and medical reference. The body is divided into areas like the head, neck, chest (thorax), abdomen, pelvis, back (dorsal), and limbs (arms and legs). These regions help healthcare professionals precisely locate and describe injuries, illnesses, or procedures. For example, the abdominal region is the area containing organs like the stomach and liver, while the thoracic region involves the chest and heart. Using these regional terms ensures clear communication about different parts of the body, which is essential for diagnosis and treatment.
