Q

Deep

A

Closer to the centre/more internal

A

Closer to the surface/more external

18
Q

Adaxial

A

Closer to the longitudinal central axis of a limb

19
Q

20
Q

Dorsal plane

A

Parallel to the back or topline

21
Q

Transverse plane

A

The cross section of a structure at a right angle to the axis. On the quadruped
the transverse planes across the limbs will appear parallel due to the
difference of position to bipeds. Think about transverse planes as cross
sections

22
Q

Sagittal plane

A

Dividing a body part down its axis into right and left sides (sides will not necessarily be mirror images)

23
