Directional Terms
Superior Towards the top; above Ex: The frontal region is superior to the abdominal region
Inferior Towards the bottom; below Ex: The patellar region is inferior to the cervical region.
Ventral / Anterior Towards the front of the body Ex: The sternal region is anterior to the vertebral region
Dorsal / Posterior Towards the back of the body Ex: The scapular region is posterior to the clavicular region.
Medial Towards the midline of the body Ex: The cardiac region is medial to the brachial region.
Lateral Away from the midline Ex: The antebrachial region is lateral to the abdominal region
Proximal Closer to the point of attachment to the body trunk Ex: The brachial region is proximal to the carpal region
Distal Farther to the point of attachment to the body trunk Ex: The tarsal region is distal to the patellar region
Superficial Toward or at the body surface The umbilical region is superficial to the abdominal region
Deep Away from the body surface Ex: The stomach is deep in comparison to the skin
Contralateral On the opposite side Ex: The left antebrachial region is contralateral to the right cural region.
Ipsilateral On the same side Ex: The right sural region is ipsilateral to the right brachial region.
