It's important to have proper structure and proper position, in place, so one can properly refer to where things are in reference to body structures.
The opposite of plantar in terms of anatomical positioning is dorsal.
Anterior refers to the front of the body, while posterior refers to the back of the body in terms of anatomical positioning.
The positioning of one body part in relation to another is described using anatomical terms such as superior (above), inferior (below), anterior (in front), posterior (behind), medial (towards the midline), and lateral (away from the midline). These terms help to provide a standardized way to describe the location and orientation of body parts in medical and anatomical contexts.
It refers to positioning your hands in a way to make your knuckles portray a butt.
This student must have an anatomical defect, because he cannot write this sentence for himself.
Cephaloinferior refers to a direction or orientation in anatomical terms, indicating a position that is toward the head (cephalo-) and below or beneath (inferior) a particular reference point in the body. This term is often used in medical or biological contexts to describe the location of structures or to explain the relative positioning of anatomical features.
Something must be wrong with the anatomical structure of the boys knee; he cannot walk without severely limping.
Gross anatomical alignment refers to the positioning and arrangement of body parts, tissues, and organs in relation to each other. It involves assessing how well structures align with the body's natural planes and axes, helping to identify any misalignments or abnormalities that may affect function or cause pain. Maintaining proper gross anatomical alignment is important for overall health and functionality of the body.
In anatomical terms, the index finger is considered proximal to the pinky finger. This means that the index finger is closer to the center of the body (the trunk) than the pinky finger, which is located more distally. Additionally, the index finger is often referred to as the second digit, while the pinky is the fifth digit. This positioning is part of the standard anatomical terminology used to describe the location of body parts.
They sure do.
Ships these days use radio positioning and the newer ones use GPS positioning so there is no need for a light to show where the land (and rocks) is.
