Anatomical and Regional Terms

by Lloyd Cascabel

Anatomical Terms

Describing a specific body part, making incisions to a patient, or drawing blood requires very precise language in Anatomy and Physiology. For this reason, we use anatomical and directional terms.

Watch the following video and take notes of the different terms used in anatomy.

Multiple Choice

The scapula bone is on the _____ side of the body?

deep

posterior

medial

Multiple Choice

If you were using anatomical terms to describe a location on the femur (thigh bone), you should use

Inferior

Deep

Lateral

Multiple Choice

This term DOES NOT mean below or farther away from
