DIRECTIONAL TERMS

  • Superior or cranial : toward the head end of the body; upper

  • Inferior or caudal : away from the head; lower

  • Anterior or ventral : front

  • Posterior or dorsal : back

  • Medial : toward the midline of the body

  • Lateral : away from the midline of the body

  • Proximal : toward or nearest the trunk or the point of origin of a part 

3

Planes of the Body

  • Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane) : divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions.

  • Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane) : A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.

  • Axial Plane (Transverse Plane) : A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts.

  • Median plane : Sagittal plane through the midline of the body; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left halves.
