Surfaces or parts of a bone that are toward the head (anterior) are called
cranial
Portions or surfaces that are toward the tail (posterior) are called
caudal
towards front
anterior/ventral
towards back
posterior/dorsal
There are three primary planes of movement. These include:
1) frontal plane
2) transverse plane
3) sagittal plane
vertical plane which passes from anterior to posterior, dividing the body into right and left halves
sagittal plane
(also called the horizontal plane, axial plane, or transaxial plane) is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes
transverse plane
is any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal (belly and back) sections.
frontal plane (coronal plane)
The axis around which the body or its segments turn while moving in the frontal plane is called the bodys
anteroposterior axis
intersects the transverse plane
longitudinal axis
intersects the sagittal plane
mediolateral axis
