ANATOMICAL LOCATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY
These terms describe a quadruped (four-legged animal) and vary in some instances from a
human.
Anterior: toward the head (but refers to the front of the body in humans)
Posterior: toward the tail (but is synonymous with dorsal humans)
E.g., On a pig the shoulder is anterior to the pelvis, and the pelvis is posterior to the shoulder.
Dorsal: toward the back.
Ventral: toward the chest/abdomen, opposite the back (but is synonymous with anterior in
humans)
Lateral: toward the side
E.g., In both pigs and humans, the chest is ventral to the spine, and the spine is dorsal to the
chest.
Medial: toward the middle
E.g., The heart is medial to the arms, and the arms are lateral to the heart.
+
Deep: closer to the inside
.LTE
Proximal: nearer to the torso. Use this term to describe places limbs.
Distal: further from the torso. Use this to describe places on limbs.
E.g., The wrist is distal to the shoulder (meaning the wrist is further from the torso than the
shoulder is), and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist (meaning the shoulder is closer to the
torso than the wrist is).
Superficial: closer to the outside
E.g., The ribs are superficial to the lungs, and the lungs are deep to the ribs.
Transverse plane: divides a quadruped into anterior and posterior segments, but divides a
human into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) segments

Sagittal plane: divides the body into left and right segments. The midsagittal plane divides the
body into left and right halves.
Frontal plane: divides the body into dorsal and ventral segments
