Volmer
Palms of hands and soles of feet
Plantar
Sole of foot
Dorsum

Midsagittal
Planes that divides the body into right and left halves
Sagittal plane
Plane parallel to the mid sagittal
Unequal parts left and right
coronal plane
A plane divides the body into anterior and posterior
Longitudinal plane
Applying cutting lengthwise or the long axis of the body
Transverse or horizontal
Applying cutting crosswise on body or at Right Angles with long access body 
Vertical
Same as a longitudinal except these sections to note that they were taken in the anatomical position
Transpyloric

Oblique
Section are not taken in the main plane of body or any part
Abduction
Move the bone Away from midline 
Adduction
Move bone toward midline
 Flexion

From Resting to 90 degrees
Extension
Increasing the angle between two bones.
From 90 degrees to resting position
Partial flexion
 Extremity all together slightly more than 90°
From 90 degrees to 45 degrees
