Study Notes

Anatomical Position

The anatomical position refers to the standardized stance of the body used in anatomy.
In this position, an individual stands upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward.

Body Planes

Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into right and left parts; can refer to any vertical plane that runs parallel to the median plane.
Median Plane: A specific sagittal plane that divides the body into equal right and left halves.
Coronal Plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions.
Transverse Plane: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.

Longitudinal Planes

Longitudinal planes include both coronal and sagittal planes, which are oriented vertically and help in differentiating body segments.

Summary of Planes

Sagittal Plane: Right and left sides
Median Plane: Equal right and left halves
Coronal Plane: Anterior and posterior portions
Transverse Plane: Superior and inferior portions
