Reference planes

Anatomical position describes the stance of an individual and it gives a consistent frame of this(planes dividing the body to describe locations: sagittal, coronal, and transverse) for the use of terminology

58

Organs

These planes also apply to this(a structure formed from various tissues that performs a specific function in an organism)

Words used to explain relationships of locations of anatomical elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)- sometimes two of these can be combined such as posteroinferior

60
New cards

Proximal and inferior

Anatomical direction refers to being close and farther away to a structure

61
New cards

Medial and lateral

Anatomical direction refers to a structure closer to the medial line which divides the body into right and left sides

62
