Definition: (front), In humans, the most anterior structures are those that are most forward- the face, chest, and abdomen

(back), those toward the backside of the body

(toward the midline), medial structures are closer to the body midline than lateral structures

away from the midline or median plane, furthest from the midline

backside or back of any other structures (animal or human)

bellyside, the belly side of animals

ex: the knee is proximal to the toes

farther from the trunk or point of attachment,

ex: the fingers are distal to the elbow

toward or at the body surface

ex: the skin is superficial to the skeletal muscles

Dividing it into right or left parts

A plane that runs lengthwise or longitudinally down the length of the body

situated alongside of or adjacent (parallel) to a sagittal location or a sagittal plane

Divides the body into equal parts

a longitudinal plane that divides the body (or an organ) into anterior and posterior parts

A plane that runs horizontally, dividing the body into superior and inferior parts. also called cross sections.

toes forward, body forward, hands facing out

consists of the cranial and spinal cavities

within the rigid skull, contains the brain

runs within the bony vertebral column, protects the spinal cord

subdivided, a human body cavity that is in the anterior (front) aspect of the human body. It is made up of the thoracic cavity, and the abdominopelvic cavity.

separated from the rest of the ventral cavity by the muscular diaphragm. The heart and the lungs, located in the thoracic cavity, are protected by the bony rib cage.

Inferior to the diaphragm, houses the stomach, intestines, liver, and other organs, and inferior pelvic cavity ( reproductive organs, bladder, and rectum.
