Body Planes and Directional Terms Health Science Technology

2 All right class…first things first!
cephalic Pos Anterio caudal

3 Review your body planes & directional terms!
posterior lateral Review your body planes & directional terms! coronal medial

4 Median (Midsagittal) Plane
Divides body into equal right and left halves.

5 Frontal (Coronal) Plane
Divides body into front and back portions.

6 Divides body into upper and lower portions.
Transverse Plane Divides body into upper and lower portions.

7 Moving towards the midline of the body
Medial Moving towards the midline of the body

8 Moving towards the side of the body
Lateral Moving towards the side of the body

9 Anterior (Ventral) Front part of body anterior

10 Posterior (Dorsal) posterior Back part of the body

11 Superior Inferior (cephalic) (caudal) Towards the feet
Towards the head Inferior (caudal)

12 And you thought anatomy would be boring!
