 Palms facing FORWARD
Anatomical Position
 EVERYONE STAND UP!
 Stand erect, feet parallel, eyes forward
 Palms facing FORWARD
 In the case of a cadaver, lying on back, palms up
Right vs. Left
 IT’S THE SUBJECT’S RIGHT OR LEFT!!
 IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PATIENT
Superior (cranial)/Inferior(caudal)
 Superior (cranial)
 Toward the head
 Upper part (above)
 Inferior (caudal)
 Away from head
 Lower part (below)
Superior (cranial)/Inferior(caudal)
 Example:
 Lungs and Liver
 Small Intestines
and Stomach
Anterior (ventral)/Posterior(dorsal)
 Anterior (ventral)
 Front of body
 In front of
 Posterior (dorsal)
 Toward back of body
 Behind
Anterior (ventral)/Posterior(dorsal)
 Example
 Ribs and Spine
 Occipital Bone and
Frontal Bone
Dorsal
Lateral/Medial
 Lateral
 Away from midline
 Medial
 Toward midline
Lateral/Medial
 Example
 Lungs and Heart
 Trachea and
Clavicles
Intermediate = Between
 Example
 Clavicle is
intermediate to
the scapula and
the sternum
Proximal/Distal
 Proximal
 Close to
 Distal
 Far from
 IN RELATION TO THE
TRUNK OF THE BODY!
Proximal
 Scapula and Humorous
Distal
 Wrist (carpals) and Elbow
Superficial(external)/ Deep(internal)
 Epidermis and
Dermis
 Hypodermis and
