Anatomical position & body planes
// to median i.e. midline
Descriptive terms (describe structures using 3 planes)
Anterior/Ventral Medial Superior/Cranial Proximal
- front - Toward median - Towards head - Closest to attachment of
plane joint/body
Posterior/Dorsal Lateral Inferior/Caudal Distal
- back - Away from - Towards foot - Away from attachment of
median plane joint/body
Superficial : nearer to surface
Deep : farther from surface
Parietal : outer wall of body cavity
Visceral : covering of organ
Sections
Movement
Flexion Induction Lateral rotation Elevation Protrusion/Protraction
- Bend joints - Towards medial - External - Forward movement of joint
rotation
Extension Adduction Medial rotation Oppression Retrusion/Retraction
- Straightened - Away medial - Internal - Backward movement of joint
joints rotation
