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
Coronal/frontal plane
Anatomical plane that is the front and back division
Traverse/cross-sectional plane
Anatomical plane that is a top and bottom division
Sagittal/median plane
Anatomical plane that is a left and right division
Organs
These planes also apply to this(a structure formed from various tissues that performs a specific function in an organism)
Directional terms
Words used to explain relationships of locations of anatomical elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)- sometimes two of these can be combined such as posteroinferior
Proximal and inferior
Anatomical direction refers to being close and farther away to a structure
Medial and lateral
Anatomical direction refers to a structure closer to the medial line which divides the body into right and left sides
Right and left
Anatomical direction references the body's left and right rather than the viewer's position
Head, neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs
principal regions of the body
