This document outlines the major body systems and anatomical reference planes used in human anatomy. It describes the nervous, muscular, skeletal, circulatory, and respiratory systems. It then explains the three primary anatomical planes - frontal, sagittal, and transverse - used to bisect and describe the orientation of the body. Finally, it provides definitions for various anatomical terminology used to describe body positions, joint movements, and regional motions.
