- right and left halves
sagittal planes
parallel to median mplane
frontal planes
right angles to median
- divides into anterior and posterior
transverse planes
superior and inferior parts
inferomedial
nearer to feet, closer to median plane
superolateral
nearer to head, farther from medial
ipsilateral
occurring on the same side of the body
contralateral
occurring on opposite side of the body
proximal
nearer to trunk/point of origin
supination
turning to anatomical position
pronation
