Anatomical Terminology and Directions

The video tutorial covers the basics of functional anatomy, emphasizing that it is a language to be learned. It introduces anatomical positions, directions, and planes, explaining terms like superior, inferior, medial, lateral, anterior, posterior, proximal, distal, supine, and prone. The tutorial includes an interactive game to reinforce these concepts, helping students understand the logic behind anatomical terms.
