Directional Terms Directional Terms Anterior or ventral - Front (e.g., the kneecap is located on the anterior side of the leg). Posterior or dorsal - Back (e.g., the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body). Medial - toward the Midline of the body (e.g., the middle toe is located at the medial side of the foot)
Anatomical Directions Anatomical Directions
Planes of division. Planes of division. Frontal plane, also called a Coronal plane, is made at right angles to the midline and divides the body into anterior and posterior parts. Sagittal plane passes from front to back and divides the body into right and left portions. Transverse plane passes horizontally, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts.
Body Cavities Body Cavities Internal organs are located within dorsal & ventral cavities
Body Body Regions: 9 region of the abdomen Regions: 9 region of the abdomen Epigastric region. Umbilical region Hypogastric region. Left hypochondriac region. Right hypochondriac region. Left lumbar region Right lumbar region. Left iliac (inguinal) region. Right iliac (inguinal) region.
Body Body Positions Positions Anatomic position Standing erect, Facing forward, Arms at sides, Palms forward, Legs parallel, Toes pointed forward; used for descriptions and studies of the body
