Lage- und Richtungsbezeichnungen

This video tutorial covers the foundational concepts of anatomical terminology, focusing on the basic anatomical position and various directional terms such as anterior, posterior, ventral, dorsal, proximal, distal, median, lateral, superior, inferior, external, and internal. It also explains the main planes of the body: frontal, sagittal, and transverse, which are crucial for understanding anatomical structures and their relationships. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of these terms in medical practice, particularly in imaging and examinations.

What is the anatomical ground position?

• Lying down with arms at the sides

• Standing upright with arms raised

• Standing upright with feet hip-width apart and arms at the sides

• Sitting with legs crossed

Which term describes the front surface of the body?

• Ventral

• Dorsal

• Anterior

• Posterior

In anatomical terms, what does 'dorsal' refer to?

• Towards the feet

• Towards the belly

• Towards the back

• Towards the head

What does the term 'dexter' refer to in anatomy?

• Left

• Right

• Front

• Back

Which term is used to describe a position away from the trunk?

• Medial

• Lateral

• Distal

• Proximal

What does 'medial' mean in anatomical terms?

• Closer to the midline

• Away from the midline

• Above the midline

• Below the midline

Which term refers to a position towards the head?

• Cranial

• Lateral

• Inferior

• Caudal

What is the sagittal plane?

• A plane that runs parallel to the forehead

• A plane that divides the body into front and back

• A plane that divides the body into left and right

• A plane that divides the body into upper and lower

Which plane separates the body into cranial and caudal sections?

• Transverse plane

• Sagittal plane

• Coronal plane

• Frontal plane

What is the significance of the frontal plane in imaging procedures?

• It divides the body into left and right sections

• It divides the body into ventral and dorsal sections

• It divides the body into upper and lower sections

• It runs parallel to the sagittal axis
