   The upper limbs are held out to each side of the body, and the palms of the hands face forward. The anterior view is the front of the body, and the posterior view is the back of the body. See an illustration of the standard anatomical position of a human body in both anterior and posterior views in Figure 2.7. [1]

   What is anatomical position based on?

   • That is, they figure out the location based on the assumption that the body is starting out in anatomical position. Anatomical position for a human is when the human stands up, faces forward, has arms extended, and has palms facing out. Figure 1.2.1 1.2. 1: These two people are both in anatomical position.

   What is the difference between a dorsal and a caudal body?

   • Caudal means toward the tail, or same as inferior for a human in anatomical position. Dorsal means toward the back and ventral means toward the belly; so dorsal and posterior are the same direction and ventral and anterior are the same direction for a human in anatomical position.

   What is a Standardized anatomical view of the body?

   • Just like paper maps are oriented with north at the top of the page, the standardized anatomical view of the body is its position standing upright with the feet at shoulder width and parallel and toes facing forward. The upper limbs are held out to each side of the body, and the palms of the hands face forward.

   What is a body plane?

   • Body planes (a plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface) are imaginary surfaces that run through the body and divide it into different sections. We can talk about a specific location using the planes as reference points within the anatomical position. Figure 1. Sagittal, Coronal, and Transverse body planes and their intersections.

   What are the 4 directions of a human body?

   • The first set of directions that we will explore are superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior. In humans, which stand upright on two feet, there are other terms that are synonymous with these four terms. Cephalic means toward the head and is the same as superior for a human in anatomical position.
