Anatomical Terminology by professor: DR Shahira Youssef 1 1. Identify anatomical position , anatomical planes 2. Identify anatomical terms of position Extended Modular Program 2  Anatomical position Anatomy: it is the study of morphological structure of the body Anatomical position ❑ Body is standing erect ❑ Face is looking forward ❑ Upper limb is hanging by side ❑ Hands are facing forwards ❑ Lower limbs are parallel Supine position : lying horizontal with face and body facing up Prone position :lying horizontal with face looking down Extended Modular Program 3  Anatomical planes Median plane: Vertical plane passing through center of body dividing it into 2 equal halves Paramedian plane: Vertical plane dividing body into 2 unequal halves Coronal plane: Vertical plane perpendicular on median plane dividing body into anterior& posterior Transverse: Horizontal plane dividing body to upper and lower parts 4 Extended Modular Program 5  Anatomical terms of position ❖Median: Structure lies in median plane ❖Medial : Structure lies nearer to median plane ❖Lateral: Structure lies away from median plane ❖Superior: Structure close to upper end of the body ❖Inferior: Structure close to lower end of body Extended Modular Program Terms of position Extended Modular Program Terms of position Extended Modular Program  Terms of position ▪Anterior: Structure is nearer to front ▪Posterior: Structure is nearer to back ▪Superficial : Structure nearer to surface ▪Deep: Structure away from surface ▪Internal : Structure is inside organ or cavity ▪External: Structure is towards outer aspect of organ Extended Modular Program  Terms of position Vein lies superficial to muscle Superficial and deep Extended Modular Program  Terms of position Proximal Structure is nearer to trunk ❑ Distal : Structure is away from trunk Ipsilateral: Structure is on same side Contralateral: Structure on opposite side Extended Modular Program  diaphragm 1. Which is medial kidney or aorta ? 2. What is superior to the kidney? Aorta Kidney Extended Modular Program Which is medial thumb or little finger ? Extended Modular Program  Terms for limbs ❑ In the forearm: Radial or lateral & Ulnar or medial. ❑ In the hand: Palmar or anterior & Dorsal or posterior. In the leg: Fibular or lateral & Tibial or medial. In the foot: Plantar or inferior & Dorsal or superior.
