    Uploaded by

    honey bunny
    This document provides an overview of anatomical terminology used to precisely describe body parts, planes, directions, and movements. Key terms covered include anatomical position, planes of section (sagittal, coronal, transverse), directions (superior, anterior, medial), special dental terms (mesial, buccal, lingual), and types of movement (flexion, abduction, rotation). The document emphasizes the importance of standardized terminology for clear communication about anatomy.
