Topics covered:
Body planes - transverse, midsagittal, frontal or coronal plane
Directional Terms related to each plane
Main body cavities
Abdominal Regions
Transverse
Horizontal planes that divides the
body into cranial and caudal parts
Cranial-Relating to the
skull
Caudal-The posterior part
of the body
Midsagittal
The plane of the body that
divides the body vertical causing
you to have a left and right halve
Median/Sagittal Plane
Cut vertical line down the
middle of the head down
through the toes
Frontal Plane
A frontal plane (also known as the
coronal plane) is any vertical plane
that divides the body into ventral
and dorsal (belly and back) sections.
It is one of the three main planes of
the body used to describe the
location of the body parts in relation
to each other.
Directional terms
Distal - away from, fartther from the origin
Proximal - near, closer to the origin
Dorsal - near the upper surface, toward the back
Ventral - toward the bottom, toward the belly
Superior - above, over
Inferior - below, under
Lateral - toward the side, away from the mid-line
Medial - toward the mid-line, middle, away from the side
Rostral - toward the front
Caudal - toward the back, toward the tail
Bllateral - Involvng both the sides of the body
Unllateral - Involving one side of the body
Ipsllateral - on the same side of the body
Contralateral - on the opposite sides of the body
Parletal- relating to a body cavity wall
Visceral - relating to organs within body cavities
Axial - around a central axis
Intermediate - between two srtuctures
Anterior - in front of, front
Posterior - after, behind, following, toward the rear
