The image displays a human figure in the anatomical position, illustrating the standard anatomical planes and directional terms used to describe the body.

Here are the planes and directional terms shown:

Anatomical Planes:

  • Sagittal Plane: This plane divides the body vertically into right and left parts. The image shows a midsagittal plane (also called median plane) which divides the body into equal right and left halves.
  • Frontal Plane (also called Coronal Plane): This plane divides the body vertically into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts. The image labels it as "Frontal Plane" and "Plano Frontal" (Spanish for Frontal Plane).
  • Transverse Plane (also called Horizontal Plane or Axial Plane): This plane divides the body horizontally into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts. The image labels it as "Plano Transversal" (Spanish for Transverse Plane).

Directional Terms:

  • Superior: Towards the head or upper part of a structure.
  • Inferior: Away from the head or toward the lower part of a structure.
  • Medial: Towards the midline of the body.
  • Lateral: Away from the midline of the body.
  • Proximal: Closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk.
  • Distal: Farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk.
  • Anterior (Ventral): Towards the front of the body. The image shows "Ventral" pointing forward from the trunk and "Anterior" pointing forward from the feet.
  • Posterior (Dorsal): Towards the back of the body. The image shows "Dorsal" pointing backward from the trunk and "Posterior" pointing backward from the feet.
  • Palmar: Refers to the palm of the hand.
  • Plantar: Refers to the sole of the foot.
