1. A Frame of Reference for Anatomical Study Anatomy and Physiology Mr. Knowles Chapter 1 Liberty Senior High School

2. Anatomical Terms of Direction and Position Created for communicating the direction and relative positions of body structures. Most have Latin or Greek roots. Some are eponyms (commemorative names).

3. Anatomical Landmarks Based on figures in the anatomical position. Maybe lying down supine (face up) or prone (face down). Example: brachium (arm); brachialis muscle; brachial artery.

6. Anatomical Regions Describe general area of interest or injury. Example: The Quadrants of the Abdominopelvic Region

9. Some Anatomical Directions Superior and Inferior Anterior and Posterior Dorsal and Ventral Proximal and Distal Medial and Lateral

10. Some Anatomical Directions Superficial- at, near or closer to the body surface. Deep- farther from the body surface.

11. Sectional Anatomy Describe three-dimensional structures. Sectional Planes: Transverse Planes- divide the body into superior/inferior sections. Frontal Planes - divide the body into anterior and posterior sections. Sagittal Planes-divide the body into left and right sections. Exactly equal halves- Midsagittal Section
