Major branches of Anatomy
Macroscopic:study the structure with the unaided eye
Microscopic:some form of magnification
Developmental:embryology
Comparative:comparing different species and anatomies
Systematic:anatomy of a system (physiology)
Median
Divides animal along its long axis into two equal parts (backbone)
Medial
Sections closest to median
Lateral
Section farthest away from median
Sagittal Plane
Parallel to median plane
Mid sagittal:median plane
Transverse Plane
Perpendicular to medial
Cranial
Close to head
Caudal
Closer to lower body
Frontal plane
Dorsal-closest to long plane
Ventral-Farthest from other stuff
Proximal vs distal of bone
Proximal:closest part of bone
Distal:farthest part of bone
Superficial vs deep
Superficial:closer to surface
Deeper:deep duh
