anatomical terms

picture the body in the (standard anatomical position) before you begin to identify and describe the location of a structure. A body in the standard anatomical position looks like this: The body is upright, the legs are closer together, the feet are flat on the floor, the arms are close to the sides, and the head, toes, and palms of the hands are facing forward.
