Document Summary

Proximal closer to the trunk of the body (limbs) Distal further from the trunk of the body (limbs) Medial closer to midline of the body. Lateral further from the midline of the body. Anterior (ventral) closer to the front of the body. Posterior (dorsal) closer to the back of the body. Superficial closer to the surface of the body. Deep closer to the middle of the body cavity. Ipsilateral occurring to the same side of the body. Contralateral occurring to opposite sides of the body. Could be superior in one example but inferior in another. Flexion- bending or decreasing the angle between body parts. Extension- straightening or increasing the angle between body parts.
