| lateral | away from body's longitudinal axis; away from midsagittal plane |
| proximal | toward an attached base |
| distal | away from an attached base |
| superficial | at, near, or relatively close to the body's surface |
| deep | farther from the body surface |

| sulcus | narrow groove |
| foramen | rounded passageway for blood vessels or nerves |
| canal | passageway thru surface of a bone |
| fissure | elongated cleft |
| sinus/antrum | chamber w/i bone, normally filled w air |
| skeletal system has five primary functions | support, blood cell production, protection, storage of minerals & lipids, leverage |
