Envision a person suspended in front of you, facing you. Their toes are pointed forward and downward slightly, so you are able to see the top surface of the foot. Their arms are at a 45 degree angle from the sides of the body with the palms facing you, and fingers extended. The mouth is closed. This is a description of the anatomical position.
