Differentiate between prone and supine postures
Prone - lying face down on stomach
Supine - lying face up on back
Differentiate superior and inferior
Superior - toward the head and away from the feet, UPPER part of the structure
Inferior - near the feet and away from the head, LOWER part of the structure
What is anatomical position
Body is upright, directly facing the observer, feet flat, and directed forward
The upper limbs are at the body’s sides with the palms facing forward
Differentiate anterior and posterior
Anterior - at or near the FRONT of the body
Posterior - at or near the BACK of the body
What is the midline
Imaginary line that divides the body into right and left halves
Differentiate medial and lateral
Medial - NEAR the midline
Lateral - AWAY from the midline
Differentiate deep and superficial
Deep - AWAY from the surface of the body
Superficial - CLOSE to the surface of the body
Differentiate proximal and distal
Proximal - CLOSE to the origination
Distal - FAR from the origination
What are planes
Imaginary flat surfaces that pass through parts of the body
What is the frontal (coronal) plane
Divides the body into front and back portions
(anterior/posterior)
What is the transverse/horizontal/axial plane
Divides the body into upper and lower portions
(superior/inferior)
What is the oblique plane
Passes through a structure or the entire body at an ANGLE
What is the sagittal plane (midsagittal/parasagittal)
Divides a structure or the body VERTICALLY into RIGHT or LEFT portions
Midsagittal - equal right and left portions
Parasagittal - unequal right and left portions
