Dividing Anatomy

QuestionAnswer
The standard anatomical position. Front Anterior
Standard anatomical back position Posterior
Anterior/posterior: (in humans, these mean the same as anterior/posterior) In front or behind
Ventral / dorsal Towards the stomach / back
Superior / inferior Above / below
Medial/lateral: closer to/farther from the midline (also used with rotation)
Superficial/deep: closer to/farther from the body surface
Proximal/distal: closer to/farther from the attachment point (used for appendages)
Frontal: Divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior portions. Think front and back. This plane is also referred to as coronal.
Sagittal: Divides the body or organ lengthwise into right and left sections. If the vertical plane runs exactly down the middle of the body, it’s referred to as the midsagittal plane.
Transverse: Divides the body or organ horizontally, into superior and inferior portions, or top and bottom. Diagrams from this perspective can be quite disorienting. Think of this plane in terms of a body opened at the waist like taking a lid off a box; viewing a transverse diagram is like peering down at the box’s contents
