How do we refer to the living body when discussing it’s anatomical position? (this was really weird to word)
- the living body standing, facing the observer,
- eyes front
- arms at side
- palms of hands and tips of the feet directed forward
What does supine mean?
- lying on back
- face or front upward
- Palm facing outward
- inactive
What does prone mean?
lying on stomach
What does posterior mean?
toward the back
What does anterior mean?
toward the front
What is ventral/anterior? Give an example
- away from the backbone
- toward the front of the body.
- Venter is Latin for “belly”
-my belly button is ventral to my spine
What is dorsal/posterior? Give an example
- toward the backbone
- away from the body
- the posterior surface
-ex: my kidneys are dorsal to my liver
What is caudal? give an example?
- toward the tail
- away from the head
-Ex: my iliac crests are caudal to my rib cage
What does rostral/cranial mean? Give an example
- toward the head
- away from the tail.
- Rostrum is latin for Beak
ex; my jaw is rostral to my neck
What does Contralateral mean? Give an example
opposite side
ex: my left ear is contralateral to my right eye
What does ipsilateral mean? give an example?

What does external mean? Give an example
toward the outer surface
ex: the external surface of the thoracic cavity

toward the inner surface
ex: the internal surface of the thoracic cavity
What does medial mean?
toward the midline
What does lateral mean?
away from the midline
What does proximal mean?
toward the body or toward the root of a free extremity
What does distal mean? give an example
away from the body or away from the root of a free extremity
ex: my elbows are distal to my shoulders
What does central mean? give an example
at the center
my spine is central
What does peripheral mean? give an example
at the outer edge
peripheral vision
What are the anatomical planes of reference?
- frontal-coronal
- sagittal plane
- transverse plane
