Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy 10th
Edition Verified Chapters 1 - 20 Complete
Explain the following terms and concepts?
Anatomic Position - ANSWER:Defines the specific surfaces and planes of the body.
Upright position with arms abducted slightly (down), palms forward, and head and
feet directed straight ahead.
Sagittal Plane - ANSWER:Longitudinal plane that divides the body into right and left
parts.
Midsagittal Plane - ANSWER:Also called the median plane. Midline sagittal plane that
divides the body into equal right and left parts. It passes through the sagittal suture
of the skull.
Coronal Plane - ANSWER:Any longitudinal plane that divides the body into anterior
and posterior parts.
Midcoronal Plane - ANSWER:Divides the body into the approximately equal anterior
and posterior parts. It passes through the coronal suture of the skull.
Horizontal Plane - ANSWER:Any transverse plane that passes through the body at
right angles to a longitudinal plane, dividing the body into superior and inferior
portions. (Axial)
Oblique Plane - ANSWER:A longitudinal or transverse plane that is at an angle or
slant and is not parallel to the sagittal, coronal, or horizontal plane.
Posterior or Dorsal - ANSWER:Refers to the back half of the body, seen when the
person is viewed from the back. Includes the bottoms of the feet and the backs of
the hands.
Anterior or Ventral - ANSWER:Refers to the front half of the patient, or part seen
when viewed from the front. Tops of feet and the fronts or palms of the hands.
Plantar - ANSWER:Sole or posterior surface of the foot.
Dorsal - ANSWER:Top or anterior surface of the foot. (Dorsum Pedis)
Back or posterior aspect of the hand (Dorsum Manus).
Palmar - ANSWER:Palm of the hand; same as anterior or ventral surface of the hand.
