Detailed explanation-1: -Anatomical position, or standard anatomical position, refers to the positioning of the body when it is standing upright and facing forward with each arm hanging on either side of the body, and the palms facing forward. 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. It is important to note that each position has its medical implications. The supine position requires the face and upper body to be turned upwards in a horizontal position.
