ANATOMICAL LOCATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY These terms describe a quadruped (four-legged animal) and vary in some instances from al 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) E.g., In both pigs and humans, the chest is ventral to the spine, and the spine is dorsal to the chest. Lateral: toward the side Medial: toward the middle E.g., The heart is medial to the arms, and the arms are lateral to the heart. Proximal: nearer to the torso. Use this term to describe places on 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 Deep: closer to the inside. 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 19 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
