Anatomical Planes and Terms
- The horizontal plane is also referred to as the transverse plane, used for cross-sectional views of the body.
- The top of the ear reveals the auricle or pinna, which helps capture sound waves.
- The transverse slice of the spinal cord corresponds to the cross-sectional plane, allowing views across various spinal structures.
- The term medial denotes proximity to the midline of the body, indicating things that are closer to the center.
- Lateral describes positions that are further away from the midline, towards the sides of the body.
- The term ipsilateral refers to structures located on the same side of the body, useful in describing injuries or conditions.
- The coronal plane, also known as the frontal plane, divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
