The front.
In the anatomical position, the umbilicus (belly button) is on the anterior body surface, while the knees are on the anterior body surface as well.
In the anatomical position, the face is on the anterior side of the body, while the palms are facing forward (anteriorly) as well.
Anterior body surface, the buttocks and shoulder blades are on the Posterior body surface.
In anatomical terms, the kneecap (patella) is superior to the ankle. This means that it is located above the ankle when the body is in the standard anatomical position, where the body is standing upright with arms at the sides and palms facing forward. Additionally, the kneecap is anterior to the ankle, indicating its position is toward the front of the body.
patellar
Terms like supine, prone, lateral, and decubitus are used to describe body positions when it is not in the anatomical position. These terms help to indicate how the body is oriented in relation to the ground or other reference points.
Anterior refers to the front of the body, while posterior refers to the back of the body in terms of anatomical positioning.
In the anatomical position, the upper arm is superior and/or proximal to the forearm.
The key difference between posterior and anterior positioning in the human body is their location relative to the front and back of the body. Anterior refers to the front side of the body, while posterior refers to the back side. This distinction is important for understanding anatomical terms and directions in medical and scientific contexts.
The anterior aspect refers to the front or forward-facing part of an organism or structure. In anatomical terms, it is used to describe the position of organs, tissues, or body parts in relation to the front of the body. For example, the chest is on the anterior aspect of the torso, while the back is referred to as the posterior aspect. This terminology is important for understanding human anatomy and for effective communication in medical and biological contexts.

When a person is lying down face up in the anatomical position, they are described as being in the "supine" position. In this orientation, the body is horizontal with the back facing down and the front (anterior) side facing up. This position is commonly used in medical examinations and procedures, as it allows for easy access to the front of the body.
