Anatomical position The Face is directed forward The body erected. Upper limbs are along the sides The palms are facing forward. Feet are together The toes are straight wy da en H R. D Anatomist “Introduction” Anatomical planes Mid-sagittal plane: divide the body into equal right and left halves. Para-sagittal plane: divide the body into unequal right and left parts. It is parallel to sagittal plane wy Coronal plane: divide the body into anterior and posterior parts. It is perpendicular to sagittal plane Transverse (horizontal) plane: divide the body into superior and inferior parts. da en H R. D Anatomist “Introduction” Anatomical terms Anterior (ventral): towards the front of the body. Posterior (dorsal): towards the back of the body. wy Superior (cranial): towards the upper end of body. Inferior (caudal): towards the lower end of body da Median: the midline Medial: towards the midline. en Lateral: away from the midline Proximal: near the origin of a structure “root of the limb” H Distal: away from the origin of a structure “root of the limb” R. Superficial: close to the surface of the body. Deep: away from the surface of the body. D Anatomist “Introduction” Anatomical terms Palm of the hand: the anterior surface of the hand. wy Planter surface: the sole “lower surface” of the foot. Ipsilateral: on the same side of the body Contralateral: on the opposite sides of the body da Supine position of body: person lying on back. Prone position of body: person lying with face downward. en H R. D Anatomist “Introduction” Movement terms Flexion: bending any part of body in sagittal plane decreasing angle between articulating bones Extension: straitening any part of body in sagittal plane increasing angle between articulating bones wy Abduction: movement away from midline/ middle finger / 2nd toe Adduction: movement toward midline / middle finger / 2nd toe Medial rotation: movement along vertical axis toward midline da Lateral rotation: movement along vertical axis away from the midline Pronation: medial rotation of forearm so that the palm faces posteriorly. Supination: lateral rotation of forearm so that the palm faces anteriorly en Inversion: rotates the planter surface of the foot inward. Eversion: rotates the planter surface of the foot outward H Elevation: moves a structure superiorly Depression: moves a structure inferiorly R. Protraction: moves a structure forward Retraction: moves a structure backward D Anatomist “Introduction” wy da en H R. D Anatomist “Introduction” Introduction 1.
