Understand that anatomical directional terms describe locations or positions of structures relative to other parts of the body.
Identify the term 'lateral' as one of these directional terms used to describe position.
Recall that the 'midline' of the body is an imaginary vertical line dividing the body into equal right and left halves.
Recognize that 'lateral' means moving or located away from this midline, toward the sides of the body.
Compare 'lateral' with other terms: 'medial' means toward the midline, 'posterior' means toward the back, and 'superior' means toward the head.
