Median plane
Divided into 2 equal parts
Sagittal plane
Divides laterally
Coronal plane
Divides front w back
Horizontal plane + what are others names for it?
Transverse / axial
(fog w ta7at)
Oblique planes
Any angle that isn’t medial , sagittal, coronal, or horizontal.
So basically any awkward angle
Nearer to the head
Superior/cranial
Nearer to the feet
Inferior/caudal
Nearer to the front (بطن)
Anterior/ Ventral
Nearer to the back
Posterior/ dorsal
Nearer to the median plane
Medial
Farther from the median plane
Lateral
Intermediate
In between
“Your heart is intermediate to your lungs”
Palmar
Palm side of the hand
Plantar
Bottom of the foot
Proximal
Nearer to the point of origin
Distal
Away from the point of origin
