12. 5/ Body Position Terms Describe the overall placement of the body
Erect "upright"
Position when the Sagittal and coronal planes of the body are perpendicular to the horizon.

13. Recumbent "lying down"
Position when the transverse plane of the body is perpendicular to the horizon

14. decubitus vs. recumbent general meanings are the same "LYING DOWN"
but in radiography, decubitus has a special meaning
DECUBITUS
patient is lying down & the x-ray beam is parallel
to the horizon
