Anatomical Directions Superior: Higher (The nose is superior to the mouth) Inferior: Lower (The eyes are inferior to the eyebrows) Anterior: Toward the front (The nose is on the anterior side of the head) Posterior: Toward the rear (The buttocks are on the posterior) Medial: Closer to the midline. The neck is medial to the shoulder. Lateral: Farther from the midline. The eye is lateral to the nose.
Slide 5-

Anatomical Directions Dorsal: Toward the back of the torso (The shoulder blades are dorsal to the ribs) Ventral: Toward the front of the torso (The navel is on the ventral aspect of the body) Proximal: Closer to the body (The elbow is proximal to the wrist) Distal: Farther from the body (The ankle is distal to the knee)

Anatomical planes Sagittal plane – a vertical line which divides the body into a left section and a right section.
