The legs are parallel, with feet flat on the floor and facing forward.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unless otherwise stated, most anatomical descriptions will refer to a person when in anatomical position. Additionally, the terms supine and prone are used to describe a body that is lying down. Supine refers to a body lying on its back (face up), while prone refers to a body lying on its belly (face down).

Detailed explanation-3: -Anatomically, there are four main positions: supine, prone, right lateral recumbent, and left lateral recumbent.
