Introduction to Anatomy

The video introduces the concept of anatomical position, which provides a standard reference for describing the location and direction of body parts. It explains various directional terms such as anterior, posterior, superior, and inferior, and how they relate to the anatomical position. The video also covers anatomical planes and sections, including sagittal, coronal, and axial planes, and their use in studying internal anatomy through imaging techniques like CT scans.
