You may hear, many times, during watching TV programs or through your general lives, terminology that's unfamiliar to you. It's often medical or anatomical. So, what we are going to do now, is to go through some of this terminology. The first thing that we need to understand is that the body, in the first place, has to be set up in the anatomical position. The recognized anatomical position is to stand with the palms facing the front. This is classed as the anatomical position. The first thing we need to consider is the midline. The midline is the centre. It cuts us from our nose all the way down to between our feet. Going off from there, anything anterior is to the front of the midline. Anything posterior is to the rear of the midline. We also have things like proximal and distal. Proximal is the nearest point, whereas distal would be the furthest away point. We also have inferior and superior. Superior is higher up, whereas inferior is lower down. Another terminology you might hear is also medial and lateral. Anything medial would be towards the midline, whereas anything lateral is away from the midline. And the final one that we should consider is the word sub, and sub means below, underneath.
Guide to Medical and Anatomical Terminology
This guide aims to demystify the medical and anatomical terminology often encountered in TV programs and daily life, providing clear explanations for commonly used terms.
The Anatomical Position
The standard anatomical position is standing with palms facing forward, serving as a reference point for describing anatomical structures and locations.
Key Terms Explained
Understanding specific terms related to body orientation and position:
- Midline: The central line dividing the body from the nose to between the feet.
- Anterior: Refers to the front of the midline.
- Posterior: Refers to the rear of the midline.
Relative Positions in the Body
Terms used to describe the relative positions of body parts:
- Proximal: Nearest to the point of attachment or reference.
- Distal: Furthest from the point of attachment or reference.
- Superior: Higher up in position.
- Inferior: Lower down in position.
Medial and Lateral Orientation
Describing the position relative to the midline of the body:
- Medial: Towards the midline of the body.
- Lateral: Away from the midline of the body.
Additional Anatomical Terms
Other useful terms in anatomical description:
- Sub: Refers to below or underneath a structure or point.
