ANATOMY PLANES AND SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS

sagittal plane

divides body into left and right

coronal plane

divides body into front and back

transversal plane

divides the body into upper and lower halves

right vs. left spatial relationship

the ANIMAL'S right and ANIMAL's left (NOT YOURS)

medial vs. lateral spatial relationship

closest to center of body vs. farthest from center of body

proximal vs. distal spatial relationship

closest to start of limb vs. farthest from start of limb

superior vs. inferior spatial relationship

above waist vs. below waist

dorsal/posterior vs. ventral/anterior spatial relationship

back of body vs. front of body

dorsal vs. palmar spatial relationship

back of hand vs. palm of hand

dorsal vs. plantar spatial relationship

top of foot vs. bottom of foot

superficial vs deep spatial relationship

outside of body vs. deep inside towards center of body

axial skeleton

bones, head, and trunk (ribcage, etc.)

appendicular skeleton

upper and lower limbs
