Anatomical Terms Quiz at the end of the powerpoint For those who have not taken it yet The Anatomical Position • The standard reference position: 1.3 Anatomical Position • This is a reference position that allows for the use of consistent directional terminology. • All descriptions of location are made from within anatomical position. Subject is facing forward with palms forward, thumbs facing to the sides.
