| Superior/Inferior | Above/Below -along the axis of the body |
| Anterior | Front |
| Posterior | Back |
| Cephalad (Cranial) | Toward the head |
| Cadual | Toward the tail |
| Medial | Toward the midline |
| Lateral | Away from the midline |
| Dorsal | Back side |
| Ventral | Belly side |
| Proximal | Near the trunk or attached end |
| Distal | Away from the trunk or attached end |
| Superficial | Toward or at the body surface |
| Deep | Away from the body surface |
| Frontal plane | Divides posterior from the anterior |
| Midsagittal Plane | Divides the body into left and right parts down the midline (creates symmetry) |
| Transverse Plane | Horizontal division of the body (cross sections) |
| Human anatomical position | Standing, feet slightly apart, head and toes forward, arms down, palms forward. |
| Base (microscope) | Supports the microscope |
| Substage light mirror | located in the base; provides light |
| Stage | Place where the specimen is viewed |
| Condenser | Small substage lens that concentrates light on the specimen |
| Iris diaphragm lever | Arm attached to the base of hte condenser that regulates the amount of light passing through the condenser. |
| Coarse adjustment knob | used to focus on the specimen |
| Fine adjustment knob | used after coarse knob for precise focusing |

| Ocular (microscope) | Eyepiece -Magnification of 10x |
| Nosepiece | Rotating mechanism at the base of the head that holds the objective lenses |
| Objective lenses | have differing levels of magnification |
