anatomical directions Flashcards
give the anatomical direction of the following:
nose to the eyes
medial
arms to the chest
lateral
heart to the lungs
medial
ears to the nose
lateral
fingers to the thumb
medial
lateral and medial are divided using which plane
saggital plane
eyes to the nose
superior/cranial
mouth to the eyes
inferior/caudal
chest to the head
inferior/caudal
heart to the liver
superior/cranial
wrist to the elbow (when body is in anatomical position)
inferior/caudal
elbow to the wrist (when body is in anatomical position)
cranial/superior
Brain to the spinal cord
cranial/superior
chin to the nose
inferior/caudal
what is the direction of the frontal lobe to the occipital lobe
anterior/ventral
the patella (kneecap) to the leg
ventral/anterior
olecranon (elbow) to the arm
dorsal/posterior
An anatomical term that means the same as ventral when referring to the human body is
anterior
the heart to the breastbone
posterior/dorsal
he wrist is proximal to the hand, as the wrist is closer to the trunk than the hand.True or false
true
elbow to the wrist
proximal
elbow to the shoulder when in anatomical position
distal. REM we measure in reference to proximity or distance to the trunk.
ankle to the knee
distal
skin to the ribs
superficial
lungs to the ribs
deep
