Anatomical Orientation and Terms

ANATOMICAL PLANES PLANE – imaginary line

ANATOMICAL PLANES SAGITTAL – lengthwise plane dividing the body into right and left parts

ANATOMICAL PLANES MIDSAGITTAL – lengthwise plane along the midline dividing the body into equal right and left parts

FRONTAL – lengthwise plane that divides the body into ANATOMICAL PLANES FRONTAL – lengthwise plane that divides the body into dorsal and ventral (superior and inferior) parts

TRANSVERSE – horizontal plane that divides the body into ANATOMICAL PLANES TRANSVERSE – horizontal plane that divides the body into cranial and caudal (anterior and posterior) parts

ANATOMICAL ORIENTATION Dorsal = The upper surface or back Ventral = The underside or front

ANATOMICAL ORIENTATION Superior Inferior Superior = Toward the upper (dorsal) body part Inferior = Toward the under (ventral) body part

ANATOMICAL ORIENTATION Anterior = In front of, toward the head Posterior = Toward the tail or rear end

ANATOMICAL ORIENTATION Caudal Cranial Cranial = Toward the head Caudal = Toward the tail

ANATOMICAL ORIENTATION Medial = Toward the midline Lateral = Away from the midline

ANATOMICAL ORIENTATION Proximal = Closest to the point of attachment Distal = Farthest from the point of attachment
