Describe the “Anatomical Position”
Standing
Legs parallel
Feet parallel
Head level and forward
Arms at side

Coronal plane (aka Frontal plane) divides body into what two parts?
Anterior and posterior
Transverse plane (aka Horizontal plane) divides body into what two parts?
Superior (upper) and inferior (lower)
Sagittal plane divides body how?
Vertically into left and right unequal parts
What plane divides body vertically straight down the middle in equal parts?
Midsagittal plane
Directional terms for front side and back side
Anterior/Ventral and Posterior/ Dorsal
Two directions that describe above and below (NOT used for arms and legs)
Superior/cranial and Inferior/caudal
Two directions for toward midline and away from midline
Medial and Lateral
Two directions that describe near and far from trunk or attachment site. Used for arms and legs (appendicular skeleton)
Proximal and distal
Two main body regions are called…
Axial (head and trunk)
Appendicular (arms and legs)

Ventral (covered by serous membranes)
Main dorsal cavity contains what two regional cavities?
Cranial cavity
Vertebral cavity
Main Ventral cavity contains what two (sort of three) regional cavities?
Thoracic cavity
