ANATOMICAL POSITION
• The anatomical position is a standardized method of observing or imaging the body that allows precise and consistent anatomical references.

ANATOMICAL POSITION
• When in the anatomical position, the subject stands erect facing the observer, the upper extremities are placed at the sides, the palms of the hands are turned forward, and the feet are flat on the floor.

Reclining Position
– If the body is lying face down, it is in the prone position.
– If the body is lying face up, it is in the supine position.

PLANES
• Planes are imaginary flat surfaces that are used to divide the body or organs into definite areas

DIRECTIONAL TERMS
• Directional terms are used to precisely locate one part of the body relative to another and to reduce length of explanations.
