inferior=caudal | *below *awar from the head or lower part of a structure |
anterior=ventral | *nearer to or at the front of the body |
posterior=dorsal | *back *nearer to or at the back of the body |
medial | *nearer to the midline |
lateral | *farther from the midline |
proximal | nearer to *if a limb, nearer to the point of attachment |
distal | * farther from *if a limb farther from the point of attachment |
superficial=external | toward or on the surface of the body |
deep=internal | *away from the surface of the body |
ipsilateral | * on the same side of the body as another structure |
contralateral | *on the opposite side of the body from another structure |
planes | * body planes are imaginary flat surfaces that pass through body parts |
sagittal plane | *vertical *divides the body into right and left |
mid-sagittal plane=median sagittal plane | *sagittal plane directly down the midline * equal parts |
parasagittal plane | *sagittal plan offset from the midline *unequal parts |
frontal plane=coronal plane | *vertical *divides body into anterior and posterior parts |
transverse plane=cross sections=horizontal plane | *horizontal *divides the body into superior and inferior planes |
oblique plane | *passes through the body on an angle between the transverse plane & either a sagittal or frontal plane *SLANT |
