Inferior to the heart: Stomach
Superior to the heart: Brain
Anterior to the heart: Rib cage
Posterior to the heart: Spine
Latereral to the heart: Lungs
"Anterior" refers to the front of the body or structure, while "posterior" refers to the back. In human anatomy, the heart is located anterior to the spine, for example.
The heat is posterior to the sternum, not anterior. It is a midline structure, like the sternum, so it is not lateral to the sternum.
anterior interventricular sulcus
anterior interventricular sulcus
The sternum is anterior to the heart.
A transverse section of the heart that separates the anterior and posterior parts is known as a coronal section. This section allows for the visualization of both the front (anterior) and back (posterior) portions of the heart, providing a comprehensive understanding of its structure.
No, a sagittal cut would not be done to achieve anterior and posterior sections of the heart. A transverse cut would be more appropriate to separate the heart into anterior and posterior sections. A sagittal cut divides a structure into left and right portions.
Which structure lies posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum?
Distal and anterior are adjectives that anatomists use to describe locations of various organs and tissues. Distal - meaning "far from" Anterior - meaning "in front" Thus, if we were using the top of the heart as a reference point, the distal anterior wall in the heart would be the part of the heart wall that is distal (since we said the top of the heart was our reference, it would have to be at the bottom of the heart) and anterior (which would be the front of the heart).
