Detailed explanation-1: -Medial means toward the middle or center. It is the opposite of lateral. The term is used to describe general positions of body parts. For example, the chest is medial to the arm.
Detailed explanation-2: -In anatomy, the median plane refers to a plane passing vertically through the midline. It divides the body into left and right halves of equal proportion, i.e. in the case of bilateral symmetry.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anterior (or ventral) describes the front or direction toward the front of the body. The toes are anterior to the foot. Posterior (or dorsal) describes the back or direction toward the back of the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Midline refers to the imaginary line that divides the body into symmetrical left and right halves. “Medial” refers to a location that is closer to the midline. “Lateral” refers to a location that is further from the midline. Example: The nipple is medial to the armpit.
