  • What are the three main anatomical planes?

    The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right, the frontal (coronal) plane divides it into front and back, and the transverse plane divides it into top and bottom.

  • Define the sagittal plane.

    The sagittal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into left and right parts.

  • What is the frontal (coronal) plane?

    The frontal plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.

  • Describe the transverse plane.

    The transverse plane divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts.

  • What does 'anterior' mean in directional terms?

    Anterior means toward the front of the body.

  • Define 'posterior' in anatomical direction.

    Posterior means toward the back of the body.

  • What does 'superior' refer to?

    Superior means above or toward the head.

  • Explain the term 'inferior'.

    Inferior means below or toward the feet.

  • What is meant by 'medial'?

    Medial means toward the midline of the body.

  • Define 'lateral' in anatomical terms.

    Lateral means away from the midline of the body.

  • What does 'proximal' mean?

    Proximal means closer to the point of attachment or origin.

  • Explain 'distal' in anatomy.

    Distal means farther from the point of attachment or origin.

  • What is the anatomical term for the head region?

    The cephalic region refers to the head.

  • Define the thoracic region.

    The thoracic region is the chest area between the neck and abdomen.

  • What does the abdominal region refer to?

    The abdominal region is the area between the thorax and pelvis.

  • Where is the pelvic region located?

    The pelvic region is the lower part of the torso between the abdomen and thighs.

  • What is the term for the arm region?

    The brachial region refers to the upper arm.

  • Define the antebrachial region.

    The antebrachial region is the forearm.

  • What does the femoral region refer to?

    The femoral region is the thigh.

  • Where is the crural region?

    The crural region is the front of the lower leg (shin).
