Anatomical Position

General Anatomical Terms – Directional (pages 3-5) Anterior …in front or in the front part Deep …beneath or below the surface Distal …situated away from the center or midline of the body, or away from the point of origin Dorsal …relating to the back, posterior Inferior …below in relation to another structure Lateral …on or to the side; outside

General Anatomical Terms – Directional (pages 3-5) Medial …relating to the middle or the center; nearer to the medial or midline of the body Palmar …relating to the palm aspect of the hand Posterior …behind, in back, or in the rear Proximal …nearest the trunk of the point of origin Superficial …near the surface Superior …above in relation to another structure; higher

Planes of Motion Sagittal Frontal Transverse (Horizontal) Frontal Plane

Sagittal Plane Anterior and posterior movements. Passes vertically through the middle of the body, dividing it into left and right halves. All other sagittal planes run parallel to this median plane, but do not have to pass through the body's midline (parasagittal). The median plane is merely one example of a sagittal plane.

Transverse Plane Passes horizontally through the body, dividing it into upper and lower halves or (inferior & superior). Movements through this plane will be horizontally (parallel to the ground); usually rotational

Frontal Plane Passes through the body from side to side, dividing it into anterior and posterior halves. Movements along this plane will be from side to side or (medial and lateral).

Bone Markings (page 10) Condyle Crest Facet Foramen Fossa Head large round projection Crest prominent, narrow, ridgelike projection Facet small, flat, or nearly flat surface Foramen rounded hole or opening in bone Fossa hollow, depression or flattened surface Head prominent, rounded projection of the proximal end of a bone

Bone Markings (page 10) Line Process Spine Trochanter Tubercle ridge of bone less prominent than a crest Process any prominent projection Spine sharp, slender projection Trochanter very large projection Tubercle small rounded projection Tuberosity large round or roughened projection
