Front 20

Anterior

Back 20

Front or toward the front of the body

Front 21

Posterior

Back 21

Back or toward the back of the body

Front 22

Dorsal

Back 22

Back or toward the back of the body

Front 23

Ventral

Back 23

Front or toward the front of the body

Front 24

Caudal

Back 24

Near or toward the tall

Front 25

Prone

Back 25

Lying the stomach, face down

Front 26

Supine

Back 26

Lying on the back, face up

Front 27

Lateral

Back 27

On the side or toward the side of the body

Front 28

Medial or Median

Back 28

In the middle or toward the side of the body

Front 29

Proximal

Back 29

Nearer to the point of attachment or trunk of the body

Front 30

Distal

Back 30

Farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body

Front 31

Superficial

Back 31

Near the surface of the body

Front 32

Deep

Back 32

Farther from the surface of the body

Front 33

Superior

Back 33

Situated above or higher than another part

Front 34

Inferior

Back 34

Situated below or lower than another part

Front 35

Central

Back 35

Near the center (median) of the body or middle of an organ

Front 36

Peripheral

Back 36

Front 37

Frontal Plane

Back 37

Divides the body into a front (anterior) portion and a rear (posterior) portion.

Front 38

Sagittal Plane

Back 38

This vertical plane divides the body lengthwise into right and left sections. If the vertical plane runs exactly down the middle of the body, it is referred to as the midsagittal plane. Otherwise, a sagittal plane can run vertically down through the body at any point, creating a longitudinal section.

Front 39

Transverse Plane

Back 39

Divides the body horizontally, into to (superior) and bottom (inferior) portions. Dividing horizontally does not necessarily yield two equal divisions; that is, a transverse plane doesn't always go through the waist area to separate the body into top and bottom. Transverse planes can go anywhere to create cross sections.
