The document defines various anatomical terms used to describe the position and movement of the body, including planes that divide the body, directions like ventral and dorsal, proximal and distal locations, and motions like flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. It then provides examples asking the reader to point to and identify various locations and motions on themselves or others.

2.  Anatomical
position:

3. Midsagital plane- divides body right
and left sides

4. Coronal- separates body front from
back

5. Transverse- cuts body in half

6.  Ventral or anterior:
 Dorsal or posterior
 Medial
 Lateral
 Internal
 External

 Distal
 Superior
 Inferior

8. Okay!

 Point on your table buddy a medial part of
their on their face- nose

10.  Cranial- towards the head
 Caudal- toward the tailbone

bones
 Extension- increasing the angle between 2
bones
 Shall I demonstrate?

11. explain to your table buddy the new words
that you can remember.

12.  Afferent- carry toward a center
 Efferent- carrying away from a center

15.  Eversion- turning a body part outward
 Inversion- turning a body part inward
