A) a term for the body sliced by the sagittal plane B) the view of a person lying down C) the position assumed by anatomical descriptions D) a term for things more distant from the body's midline E) none of the above E
This is the imaginary plane that divides the body into transverse or cross-sections
A) coronal plane B) medial plane C) superior plane D) sagittal plane E) none of the above none of the above
This refers to something further from the surface of the body
A) lateral B) inferior C) sagittal D) superficial E) none of the above none of the above
Referring to the image above, all of the following statements are true except:
The patient is prone
TRUE OR FALSE: the head is superior to the neck?
True
This is the view of the body from the front
anterior aspect
This includes the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
central regions of the body
The imaginary plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections
coronal plane
This term refers to things more distant from the heart
distal
This term refers to things closer to the feet
inferior
This term refers to things farther from the midline of the body
lateral
This is the view of the body from the side
lateral aspect
This term refers to things closer to the midline of the body
medial
This is the view of the body from the back
none of the above
The position of the body when it is lying, face downward
prone
This term refers to things closer to the heart
proximal
This is the imaginary plane that divides the body into left and right sides
sagittal plane
All anatomical descriptions assume that the patient is in this position
standard anatomical position
In this body position, the head faces forward, the palms of the hands face forward, and the soles of the feet face downward
standard anatomical position
This term refers to things closer to the surface of the body
superficial
This term refers to thing closer to the head
superior
The position of the body when lying down with its face upward
supine
These are included in the lower limb regions
thigh, crus (leg), and foot
This includes the brachium (arm), antebrachium (forearm), and hand
upper limb regions
