1|ANALEC Merida, MVC 1PTA Anatomical Position Medial Standard reference position o used to indicate that a structure is nearer median Body is upright plane; toward midline Feet together o Example: heart is more medial than the arms Face looking forward Lateral Mouth close and facial expression neutral o terms that indicate that the structure is farther Eyes open focused on something in the distance away the median plane; away from Midline Arms at side, Palms of hand forward, pad of thumb o Example: arms is more lateral than heart turned 90° Posterior/ dorsal o Functional position - palms are facing forward o denotes back surface *resting position - palms are facing the body o Toward the back Anterior/ ventral Anatomical planes o denotes nearer to front Sagittal Planes o towards the front o Median sagittal plane - vertical plane passing HANDS through the center of the body dividing it to equal o Palmar - anterior of the hand; palms right and left halves o dorsal surface - posterior of hand; back of the o Sagittal plane - vertical planes parallel to the palms median plane; divides body to right and left side FOOT Coronal plane (Frontal) o Plantar - sole of foot o vertical plane passing through the body at right o Dorsal - upper (top) surface angles to the median plane Proximal o dividing body to anterior (front) and posterior o Wrist, ankle (back) portions Distal Horizontal o Fingers, toes o planes passing the body at right angle to the Denote level in reference to upper or lower ends of body median and coronal planes o Inferior/Caudal - nearer to feet/tail o dividing the body into superior (upper) and o Superior/Cranial/ Cephalic - nearer to inferior (lower) parts. head/vertex/cranium o Transverse plane - lies perpendicular to the long Position relative to the core or root or attached end axis of a given structure o Proximal - nearer the trunk/core or point of origin ▪ In the leg, horizontal and transverse planes ▪ Shoulders are more proximal than the are the same because they pass through hands the long axis of leg or tibia o Distal - farther from trunk or point of origin ▪ in the foot, the horizontal plane remains Describes location relative to the center of a structure or the same as the leg, it divides the foot into space dorsal and plantar o Internal – location is inside the structure;
