Ipsilateral ?

A
  1. on the same side
25
Q

Contralateral ?

A
  1. opposite side
26
Q

What is the difference between anatomical VS. clinical orientation?

A
  1. Anatomical is something you can hold or pictures
    • the right is right
    • the left is left
    • the view is from above ( Ventral down Dorsal up)
  2. Clinical Orientation is like a MRI
    • right is left
    • left is right
    • looking at it from the feet up
      (Ventral up Dorsal Down)
