Page 2: Body Planes and Directions. Body planes Body planes are imaginary lines/planes that divide the body

Body planes

Body planes are imaginary lines/planes that divide the body.

Page 3: Body Planes and Directions. Body planes Body planes are imaginary lines/planes that divide the body

4 Body Planes

• Sagittal (Midline)= divides the body into equal right and left halves (xz plane on the diagram).

4 Body Planes

• Sagittal (Midline)= divides the body into equal right and left halves (xz plane on the diagram).

• Midsagittal= divides the body into unequal right and left halves.

4 Body Planes

• Sagittal (Midline)= divides the body into equal right and left halves (xz plane on the diagram).

• Midsagittal= divides the body into unequal right and left halves.

• Coronal= divides the body into anterior and posterior (front and back).YZ plane on the diagram.

Body Directions

• Medial- towards the midline.

• Lateral- away from the midline

• Posterior/Dorsal=towards the back

• Anterior/Ventral=towards the front

• Superior=towards the head, above the transverse line

Page 12: Body Planes and Directions. Body planes Body planes are imaginary lines/planes that divide the body

Body Directions

• Medial- towards the midline.• Lateral- away from the midline• Posterior/Dorsal=towards the back• Anterior/Ventral=towards the front• Superior=towards the head, above the

transverse line

• Inferior=towards the feet, below the transverse line

Body Directions

• Proximal=situated near the midline or the beginning of a body structure.

Page 14: Body Planes and Directions. Body planes Body planes are imaginary lines/planes that divide the body

Body Directions

• Proximal=situated near the midline or the beginning of a body structure.

• Distal=situated farthest from the midline, or end of a body structure.
