Inferior (_________)
Inferior (caudal)
Inferior (caudal):
toward the feet, lower, below
Anterior (____________)
Anterior (ventral)
Anterior (ventral):
front, in front of, (in humans, anterior is the same as ventral)
Posterior (________)
Posterior (dorsal)
Posterior (dorsal):
Back, in back of, (in humans, posterior is the same as dorsal)
Medial
Toward the midline of a structure

(Remember mediastinum?)
Lateral:
Away from the midline or toward the side of a structure
Intermediate:
In-between a medial & lateral position
Bilateral:
Paired, right/left structures.
"My eyes are bilateral because I have two of them, but my nose is unilateral."
Ipsilateral:
Same side
Contralateral:
Opposite side.
"Contra-" means opposite or against, as in "contradict"
Proximal
Toward or nearest the trunk, or a structure's point of origin
Distal
Away from or farthest from the trunk or a structure's point of origin
Superficial
Near the body surface
Deep
Farther away from the body surface
What body planes did you learn this week?
1. Sagittal
2. Transverse
3. Coronal
Sagittal:
Lengthwise plane dividing into right/left sections
Transverse:
Horizontal or cross-section
Coronal:
Frontal. Lengthwise plane dividing into anterior/posterior sections.
Which are bigger, organelles or cells?
Cells are bigger, because organelles live inside them.
Why is the ankle distal to the knee?
Because the ankle is farther from the connecting point to the torso than the knee is
What is another name for caudal?
Inferior
What is the opposite of caudal (inferior)?
The opposite of caudal is cranial (superior or cephalad)
Why is this course & your study of Human Anatomy (& Physiology) a continuation of the early divine mandate?
So man gave names to all the animals, and eventually to all of the parts (anatomy) and processes (physiology) of the body.
