Anatomical Position
Anatomical Position – Standing upright, feet together or slightly apart, arms hanging but not touching the sides, with palms forward and thumbs pointing out.
Why?
The anatomical position is important because it’s the reference for all directional and movement terms. Slide3
Sagittal Plane(s): Divide the body into right and left segments.Cardinal Plane: Divides the body into equal and portions.
Midsagittal
Plane: Cardinal Sagittal Plane
Planes of MotionSlide4
Coronal / Frontal Plane(s)- Divide the body into front and back segments.
Planes of Motion Continued Slide5
Transverse / horizontal Plane(s)- Divides the Body into top and bottom segments.
Planes of Motion ContinuedSlide6
Center of Mass / Center of Gravity – The point at which all three cardinal planes intersect.

Inferior-Refers to a structure being closer to the feet or lower than another structure in the
body
Superior-Refers
to a structure being closer to the head or higher than another structure in the body
Directional/Location TermsSlide8
Anterior-Refers to a structure being more in front than another structure in the body
Posterior-Refers
to a structure being more in back than another structure in the body
Directional/ Location Terms Cont.Slide9
Medial-Refers to a structure being closer to the midline or median plane of the body than another structure of the body
Lateral-Refers
to a structure being farther away from the midline than another structure of the body

Distal-(Reference to the
extremities only)
Refers to a structure being further away from the
root or attachment of

Superficial-Refers to a structure being closer to the surface of the body than another structure
Deep-Refers
to a structure being closer to the core of the body than another structure
