ANEQ 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Median Plane, Carpal Bones, Frontal Bone
Document Summary
Anatomy is the study of the from, nature, and structures of the tissues and organs of the body and the relationship between them. Median plane: a single plane that divides the head, body or limbs longitudinally into equal left and right halves. Sagittal plane: a plane passing through the head, body, or limb parallel to the median plane, diving into unequal parts. Transverse plane: a plane that cuts across the head,body, or limb at a right angle to the median plane, thus dividing the body into cranial and caudal segments. (separates the head and tail) Frontal / dorsal plane: a plane that runs at right angles to the median and transverse planes dividing the body or head into ventral and dorsal segments ( top and bottom) Rostral: on or near the nose, can only be used on the structures on the head.
