THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Directional Terms Inferior or caudal-away from the head; lower (example, the foot is part of the inferior extremity). Anterior or ventral-front (example, the kneecap is located on the anterior side of the leg). Posterior or dorsal-back (example, the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body).

Detailed explanation-2: -A transverse plane, also known as an axial plane or cross-section, divides the body into cranial (head) and caudal (tail) portions. It is parallel to the ground, which (in humans) separates the superior from the inferior, or put another way, the head from the feet.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transverse plane, or the axial plane, divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves. Movements that occur in this plane involve rotation or horizontal movement, which include: Rotation: rotating the torso or a limb around its vertical axis (e.g., turning your head to the left or right)
