Anatomy and Planes of Division Quiz

Anatomical Position

• A person in anatomical position is standing erect, with palms facing forward, and eyes looking forward.
• Arms are by the side of the body, and legs are together.

Planes of Division

• Median (Sagittal) plane: A vertical plane passing through the midline of the body, dividing it into equal right and left halves.
• Paramedian (Parasagittal) planes: Vertical planes parallel to the median plane, but offset from it, dividing the body into unequal right and left halves.
• Coronal (Frontal) plane: A vertical plane running perpendicular to the median plane, dividing the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
• Horizontal (Transverse) planes: Numerous planes running horizontally across the body at different levels.

Directional Terms

• Anterior (ventral): Towards the front.
• Posterior (dorsal): Towards the back.
• Lateral: Away from the midline of the body.
• Medial: Towards the midline of the body.
• Superior (cranial, cephalic): Upper, up, or above.
• Inferior (caudal): Lower, down, or below.
• Superficial (external): Near to the surface.
• Deep (internal): Away from the surface, towards the inside.
• Ipsilateral: Structures on the same side of the body.
• Contralateral: Structures on opposite sides of the body.
• Proximal: Closer to the origin of a structure (e.g., limb).
• Distal: Farther from the origin of a structure (e.g., limb).
• Supine: Body lying face up.
• Prone: Body lying face down.

• Inflammation (body's response to injury/infection)
• Pain (various causes and locations) - Chest pain, breast pain,abdominal pain
• Abdomen
• Breast
