Further explanation
The terms anterior and posterior are used to indicate the front and back of the body and describe the relationship between the two structures. A structure is said to be anterior or posterior compared to other structures depending on whether the structure is closer to the anterior or posterior surface of the body.
To describe the hand, the terms palmar and dorsal surfaces are used instead of the terms anterior and posterior. Whereas instead of the terms palantar and dorsal surfaces the lower and upper surfaces are used to describe the feet. The terms proximal and distal indicate the relative distance from the base of extremity, for example the upper arm is located diproximal the forearm and the hand is located distally the forearm. The terms superficial and profunda state the relative distance of the structure to the surface of the body, and the terms superior and inferior state position relatively high or low to the tip and bottom of the body.
The terms internal and external are used to express the relative distance of the structure from the center of an organ or cavity, for example the internal carotid artery is located in the skull cavity and the carotid artery externa is located outside the cavity of the skull.
The term ipsilateral shows the same side of the body, for example the left hand and left leg are ipsilateral. Contralateral shows the opposite side of the body; for example the biceps brachii sinistra musculus and the femoral rectus dextra musculus are contralateral.
Supinatio position is the supine body position. Pronatio position is prone position.
