Body Planes & Positions
DR PRIYANKA SINHA
Learning Objectives
 Objective 1: Identify and utilize anatomical positions, planes,
and directional terms.
• Demonstrate what anatomical position is and how it is used to reference
the body.
• Distinguish between the commonly used anatomical planes and
recognize their individual views.
• Apply directional terms to their location on the human body.
 Objective 2: Demonstrate body movements.
• Compare and contrast the various movements of the body and their
counter-movements.
• Compare and contrast the various movements of the foot /ankle and their
counter-movements.
• Compare and contrast the lateral movements of the wrist/hand and their
counter-movements.
Anatomical Position
 Standing erect, with palms and
feet facing forward
 Is the standard reference point in
which all positions, movements,
and planes are described
Anatomical Planes
 Fixed lines of reference
along which the body is
often divided or sectioned
to facilitate viewing of its
structures
 Allow one to obtain a
three-dimensional
perspective by studying
the body from different
views
Anatomical Planes
Sagittal plane
 The plane dividing the body into right
and left portions
 Midsagittal or median are names for
the plane dividing the body into
equal right and left halves
Anatomical Planes
Frontal/Coronal plane
 The plane dividing the body into
front and back portions
Anatomical Planes
Transverse plane
 The horizontal plane dividing
the body into upper and lower
portions
 Also called the Horizontal
plane.
Positions and Directions
Terms of position and
direction describe the position
of one body part relative to
another, usually along one of
the three major body planes
Positions and Directions
Anterior
 Refers to a structure being more in
front than another structure in the body
Posterior
 Refers to a structure being more in
back than another structure in the body
Positions and Directions
Superior
 Refers to a structure being
closer to the head or higher
than another structure in the
body
Inferior
 Refers to a structure being
closer to the feet or lower
than another structure in the
body
Positions and Directions
Medial
 Refers to a structure being
closer to the midline or
median plane of the body
than another structure of the
body
Lateral
 Refers to a structure being
farther away from the midline
than another structure of the
body
Positions and Directions
(Reference to the extremities only)
Distal
 Refers to a structure being
further away from the root of
the limb than another
structure in the limb
Proximal
 Refers to a structure being
closer to the root of the limb
than another structure in that
limb
Distal / Proximal
 When you divide the skeleton
into Axial (Blue) and
Appendicular (Yellow) you can
better understand the
extremities and their roots.
Positions and Directions
 Cranial/Cephalic: towards the head
 Caudal: towards the tail
Positions and Directions
Superficial
 Refers to a structure being
closer to the surface of the
body than another structure
Deep
 Refers to a structure being
closer to the core of the body
than another structure
Positions and Directions
Ventral
 Towards the front or belly
Dorsal
 Towards the back
Positions and Directions
Prone
 Lying face down
Supine
 Lying face up
Unilateral
 Pertaining to one side of the body
Bilateral
 Pertaining to both sides of the body

at a joint beyond anatomical position.
Movements
Adduction
 Moving a body part towards the midline of the
body
Abduction
 Moving a body part away
from the midline of the
body
Movements
Pronation
 Turning the arm or foot downward; (palm or
sole of the foot - down)
Supination
 Turning the arm or foot upward; (palm or sole
of the foot - up)
Movements
Retraction
 Moving a part backward
Protraction
 Moving a part forward
Elevation
 Raising a part
Depression
 Lowering a part
Movements
Rotation
 Turning on a single axis
Circumduction
 Tri-planar, circular motion at the
hip or shoulder
External rotation
 Rotation of the hip or shoulder
away from the midline
Internal rotation
 Rotation of the hip or shoulder
toward the midline
Movements
Lateral Flexion
 Side-bending left or right
Movements of the Foot
Inversion
 Turning the sole of the foot inward
Eversion
 Turning the sole of the foot outward
Dorsiflexion
 Ankle movement bringing the foot
towards the shin
Plantarflexion
 Ankle movement pointing the foot
downward
Movements of the Wrist &
Thumb
Radial Deviation
 Movement of the wrist towards the
radius or lateral side.
Ulnar Deviation
 Movement of the wrist towards the
ulna or medial side.
Opposition
 Movement of the thumb across the
palm of the hand.
Regional Terms:

 Axial – head,
neck, and trunk
 Appendicular –
appendages or
limbs
 Specific regional
terminology

  • 1. Body Planes & Positions DR PRIYANKA SINHA
  • 2. Learning Objectives  Objective 1: Identify and utilize anatomical positions, planes, and directional terms. • Demonstrate what anatomical position is and how it is used to reference the body. • Distinguish between the commonly used anatomical planes and recognize their individual views. • Apply directional terms to their location on the human body.  Objective 2: Demonstrate body movements. • Compare and contrast the various movements of the body and their counter-movements. • Compare and contrast the various movements of the foot /ankle and their counter-movements. • Compare and contrast the lateral movements of the wrist/hand and their counter-movements.
  • 3. Anatomical Position  Standing erect, with palms and feet facing forward  Is the standard reference point in which all positions, movements, and planes are described
  • 4.
  • 5. Anatomical Planes  Fixed lines of reference along which the body is often divided or sectioned to facilitate viewing of its structures  Allow one to obtain a three-dimensional perspective by studying the body from different views
  • 6. Anatomical Planes Sagittal plane  The plane dividing the body into right and left portions  Midsagittal or median are names for the plane dividing the body into equal right and left halves
  • 7. Anatomical Planes Frontal/Coronal plane  The plane dividing the body into front and back portions
  • 8. Anatomical Planes Transverse plane  The horizontal plane dividing the body into upper and lower portions  Also called the Horizontal plane.
  • 9. Positions and Directions Terms of position and direction describe the position of one body part relative to another, usually along one of the three major body planes
  • 10. Positions and Directions Anterior  Refers to a structure being more in front than another structure in the body Posterior  Refers to a structure being more in back than another structure in the body
  • 11. Positions and Directions Superior  Refers to a structure being closer to the head or higher than another structure in the body Inferior  Refers to a structure being closer to the feet or lower than another structure in the body
  • 12. Positions and Directions Medial  Refers to a structure being closer to the midline or median plane of the body than another structure of the body Lateral  Refers to a structure being farther away from the midline than another structure of the body
  • 13. Positions and Directions (Reference to the extremities only) Distal  Refers to a structure being further away from the root of the limb than another structure in the limb Proximal  Refers to a structure being closer to the root of the limb than another structure in that limb
  • 14. Distal / Proximal  When you divide the skeleton into Axial (Blue) and Appendicular (Yellow) you can better understand the extremities and their roots.
