• Anterior: In front of, front• Posterior: After, behind, following, toward the
rear
• Distal: Away from, farther from the origin• Proximal: Near, closer to the origin

• Dorsal: Near the upper surface, toward the back
• Ventral: Toward the bottom, toward the belly
• Superior: Above, over• Inferior: Below, under

• Lateral: Toward the side, away from the mid-line
• Medial: Toward the mid-line, middle, away from the side
• Rostral: Toward the front• Caudal: Toward the back, toward the tail

Planes
• Lateral Plane / Sagittal Plane: divides the body into right and left regions. – Median or Midsagittal Plane: Sagittal plane that divides the body into equal
right and left regions.– Parasagittal Plane: Sagittal plane that divides the body into unequal right
and left regions.
• Frontal Plane / Coronal Plane: divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) regions.
• Transverse Plane: divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) regions.
