Anatomical Orientation And Directions Human Anatomy And Physiology Anatomical position is the description of any region or part of the body in a specific stance. in the anatomical position, the body is upright, directly facing the observer, feet flat and directed forward. the upper limbs are at the body’s sides with the palms facing forward. like so: image captured in ar using human anatomy atlas. There are three planes commonly referred to in anatomy and medicine, as illustrated in figure 1.4.3. the sagittal plane divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. if this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body, it is called the midsagittal or median plane.

All Anatomical Directional Terms Information. to be able to direct others to specific anatomical structures, or to find structures based on someone else’s directions, it is useful to have specific pairs of terms that allow you to orient your search with respect to the location of another, known structures. the following pairs of terms are used to make comparisons. However, we will focus on the three planes that are traditionally used when discussing human anatomy. first is the transverse plane, (also called the horizontal plane), which divides the body into top and bottom. in anatomical position, transverse planes are parallel to the ground. the second is the coronal plane, which is a vertical plane that. Demonstrate the anatomical position; describe the human body using directional and regional terms; identify three planes most commonly used in the study of anatomy; distinguish between the posterior (dorsal) and the anterior (ventral) body cavities, identifying their subdivisions and representative organs found in each. The anatomical position is a standard point of reference commonly used in human anatomy and physiology when describing certain anatomical terms and positions. the five regions of the body are the head, neck, torso, upper extremities, and lower extremities. the body is also divided by three imaginary planes known as the sagittal plane, coronal.

The anatomical position (and the directional terms) is something you'll soon learn when you take a course in anatomy and physiology. the anatomical position. Key points. descriptions of directional terms include: a) superior (head) and inferior (caudal), b) anterior and posterior, c) lateral and medial, d) deep and superficial, e) proximal and distal, and f) dorsal and ventral. directional terms provide comparison of anatomical position by comparing the locations of different structures in the body.
