Is the spinal cord posterior to the stomach?
For example, the stomach is ventral to the spinal cord, which means that the stomach is located in front of the spinal cord.
The umbilicus lies at the vertebral level between the L3 and L4 vertebrae. However, the skin around the umbilicus is supplied by the thoracic spinal nerve T10 (T10 dermatome) A helpful mnemonic is “T10 for belly but-ten”.
Navel, also called umbilicus, plural umbilici, or umbilicuses, in anatomy, a small depression in the abdominal wall at the point of attachment of the umbilical cord (q.v.). It indicates the point through which the mammalian fetus obtained nourishment from its mother through the blood vessels of the umbilical cord.
Which structure is lateral to the belly button?
Hips
The back is a posterior structure on a human. The chin is superior to the elbow, but the elbow is superior to the knee. The knee is inferior to the elbow. Hips are lateral to the belly button….Definition.
| Patellar | Anterior knee area |

| Umbilical | Belly Button area |
| Vertebral | Spine area |
Is ventral front or back?
Directional Terms Anterior or ventral – front (example, the kneecap is located on the anterior side of the leg). Posterior or dorsal – back (example, the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body).
Which term means toward the back of the body behind?
Posterior
Posterior (dorsal) Toward or at the backside of the body; behind.
According to a study at the University of Missouri, small, T-shaped belly buttons are the most attractive. Researchers showed pictures of innies, outies, and belly buttons of all shapes and sizes to a group of men and women who rated them on a scale of 1 to 10 from least to most attractive.
They create the foul smell, just as they make your armpits smell when you sweat. The deeper your belly button is, the more dirt and germs can build up inside it. An unpleasant odor comes from the mix of: bacteria.
Is the navel connected to anything?
As you can see, it is not attached to anything in the body. The belly button is where the umbilical cord attaches to the fetus, connecting the developing baby to the placenta.
Is the head superior to the navel?
These terms refer to the vertical axis. Superior means ‘higher’, inferior means ‘lower’. The head is superior to the neck; the umbilicus is inferior to the sternum.
Is the elbow distal or proximal to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist on the upper extremity. L. Distal – Remote; farther from any point of reference. The elbow is distal to the shoulder joint.
What is meant by ventral side?
Ventral: Pertaining to the front or anterior of any structure. The ventral surfaces of the body include the chest, abdomen, shins, palms, and soles. Ventral is as opposed to dorsal. From the Latin “venter” meaning belly.
Where are the columns of the spinal cord located?
Each segment of the cord contains matched posterior, lateral and anterior columns. The anterior columns and posterior columns are partially separated by the anterior median fissure and posterior median sulcus, respectively.
Which is the ventral surface of the spinal cord?
On the other hand, the exact opposite surface is the DORSAL surface-which would be the heel of the foot and back of the head. So, the ventral surface of the spinal cord would be the surface of the cord that is facing forward towards the lips when the person is in a standing position.
Where do the dorsal and ventral roots enter and leave the spinal cord?
Dorsal and ventral roots enter and leave the vertebral column respectively through intervertebral foramen at the vertebral segments corresponding to the spinal segment. Drawing of the 8, 12, 5, 5 and 1 cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal spinal nerves and their exit from the vertebrate, respectively.
How is the spinal cord different from the human body?
Although each segment of the spinal cord has similar features, there are some differences along its length, as you may be able to determine from the image above. The main difference is that the ratio of gray matter to white matter varies among segments of the spinal cord.
