lateral
at the surface/on the outside
superficial
on the inside, internal to another structure
deep
closest to the point of attachment to trunk
proximal
furthest from point of attachment to trunk
distal
a vertical plane that divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior parts.. When taken through the trunk, the anterior portion contains the chest and the posterior portion contains the back and buttocks.
What color portion?
coronal (frontal) plane
purple
divides the body or organ into superior and inferior parts. If taken through the middle of the trunk, the superior portion contains the chest and the inferior protion contains the abdomen.
- parallel with the floor
What color portion?
transverse plane
green
vertical plane and divides the body or organ into left and right halves on the midline. Through the head will split it into a left half and a right half (each containing one eye, one ear, and half of the nose and mouth)
What color portion?
sagittal plane
