Anatomical Position
▪ Anatomical Position:
• Body is standing, the feet
together, the arms to the
side, and the head and
eyes and palms of the
hands facing forwards.
• Used for the purpose of
description

Anatomical Planes
▪ Anatomical Planes: Flat surfaces which
pass through body parts
– The Main Planes
1. Sagittal (parasagittal and midsagittal)
2.Frontal
3.Transverse

Anatomical Planes
1. Sagittal: a cut made lengthwise
(longitudinal) that divides the
body into left and right halve
–Midsagittal
–Parasagittal

Anatomical Planes
2. Frontal Plane:
• A cut made
lengthwise that
divides the body into
anterior and
posterior parts (front
and back)

Frontal

Anatomical Planes
3. Transverse Plane:
• Cut made along a
horizontal plane,
dividing the body
into superior and
inferior parts (top
and bottom)
• AKA a cross section
