A. Anatomical position is a standing position in which the subject is erect, face forward, eyes ahead, arms down to the sides, with palms up. B. The forearm is supine when palms face forward (anterior), and prone when they face to the rear (posterior) I. Anatomical Position (p. 31, Figs. A.1, A.2)

II. Anatomical Planes A.A sagittal plane divides the person in anatomical position into right and left halves. Midsagittal passes through the midline, while parasagittal is off to one side. B.A frontal or coronal plane divides the standing body into front and back. C.A transverse or cross-sectional plane divides the body into top and body sections, perpendicular to the long axis.
