We do not do your homework for you.
It looks as if what you need to do is read your textbook and classnotes thoroughly AND learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches for yourself. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to checking your text and coursework, and searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
You also need to make sure your spelling is correct. Search engines are really dumb in some ways and aren't intuitive about spelling errors! You are looking for information about borders, right?
Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

1. Body planes and directions: This approach involves dividing the body into different planes (such as sagittal, coronal, and transverse) to help visualize and understand the organization of structures. By defining these planes, we can discuss the relative positions and orientations of different body parts. This approach is commonly used in anatomical studies and imaging techniques like X-rays and MRI scans.
2. Body cavities: This approach focuses on the major hollow spaces within the body that contain various organs. The cavities include the cranial cavity (brain), thoracic cavity (heart and lungs), abdominal cavity (digestive organs), and pelvic cavity (reproductive organs). Understanding these cavities is important for identifying and locating specific organs and for diagnosing and treating medical conditions.
3. Quadrant and regions: This approach involves dividing the abdomen into four quadrants (right upper, left upper, right lower, and left lower) or nine regions (epigastric, umbilical, hypogastric, etc.). These divisions help with localizing pain or examining specific structures or organs within the abdomen. This approach is commonly used in various medical specialties, including emergency medicine and diagnostic imaging.
4. Anatomy and physiology: This approach focuses on understanding the structure and function of the different body parts and systems. Anatomy involves studying the physical structures, such as bones, muscles, and organs, while physiology deals with how these structures work and interact together to maintain homeostasis. This approach is fundamental for understanding health and disease and is applied across various medical specialties.
5. Microscopic-to-macroscopic: This approach involves studying the human body from the smallest level (microscopic) to the largest level (macroscopic). It begins with exploring cells and tissues under a microscope and then progresses to organs, systems, and the entire body. This approach is crucial for understanding the hierarchy of organization within the body and for linking the structure and function of different parts.
6. Body systems: This approach organizes the body based on its physiological functions into systems such as the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, nervous, and endocrine systems. Each system consists of specific organs and structures that work together to perform particular functions. This approach is widely used in medical education, clinical practice, and medical research.
7. Medical specialty: This approach focuses on organizing information based on specific medical specialties, such as cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, etc. Each specialty concentrates on a specific area of the body or particular medical conditions. This approach is employed by healthcare professionals to specialize their knowledge, training, and expertise in a specific field to provide comprehensive care and treatment for patients.
Each of these approaches has its own benefits and applications in understanding and organizing information about the body. The selection of an approach depends on the context and purpose of the study or inquiry.
