| 8450216684 | Anatomical Position | Standing erect with arms at the sides and palms turned forward. The head and feet also point forward. Reference position for all body directions. | 7 | |
| 8450216685 | Supine | Lying face up | 8 | |
| 8450219211 | Prone | Lying face down | 9 | |
| 8450219212 | Superior | Toward the head, upper, above | 10 | |
| 8450221936 | Inferior | Toward the feet, lower, below | 11 | |
| 8450221937 | Anterior | Front, in front of (same as ventral in humans) | 12 | |
| 8450221938 | Posterior | Back, in back of | 13 | |
| 8450266493 | Medial | Toward the midline of a structure | 14 | |
| 8450266494 | Lateral | Away from the midline or toward the side of a structure | 15 | |
| 8450266495 | Proximal | Toward or nearest the trunk, or nearest the point of origin of a structure. | 16 | |
| 8450269045 | Distal | Away from or farthest from the trunk, or farthest from a structure's point of origin. | 17 | |
| 8450269046 | Superficial | Nearer the body surface | 18 | |
| 8450272049 | Deep | Farthest away from the body surface | 19 | |
| 8450327247 | Sagittal Plane | Runs lengthwise; divides a structure into right and left sections. | 20 | |
| 8450327248 | Mid sagittal | Sagittal plane that divides the body into two equal halves. | 21 | |
| 8450334154 | Frontal (coronal) plane | Lengthwise plane that divides a structure into anterior and posterior, or front and back sections. | 22 | |
| 8450375432 | Transverse | Horizontal plane that divides a structure into upper and lower sections. | 23 | |
| 8450382463 | Bilateral Symmetry | - Divides body along midsagittal plane lengthwise from sternum on through to vertebral column. - Each half is like the other half - Called mirror image - Does not include organs | 24 | |
| 8450387185 | Radial Symmetry | Body cannot be divided along a single plane 2 halves alike Ex: Starfish | 25 | |
| 8450500521 | Mediastinum | Ventral Thoracic Cavity - mid portion of thoracic cavity; heart and trachea are located in mediastinum | 26 | |
| 8450526800 | Pleural Cavities | Right lung located in right in right pleural cavity: left lung is in left pleural cavity. | 27 | |
| 8450554653 | Abdominopelvic Cavity | Contains stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen. | 28 | |
| 8450566973 | Pelvic Cavity | Contains reproductive organs, urinary bladder and lowest part of the intestine. | 29 | |
| 8450574289 | Cranial Cavity | Brain | 30 | |
| 8450579211 | Spinal Cavity | Spinal | 31 | |
| 8450625150 | Nine Abdominopelvic Region | Upper abdominopelvic region Right and left hypochondriac regions Epigastric region Middle regions Right and left lumbar regions Umbilical region Lower regions Right and left iliac (inguinal) regions Hypogastric region | 32 | |
| 8450654273 | Four Quadrants of Abdominopelvic Cavity | Right upper - Superior Right lower - Inferior Left upper - Superior Left lower - Inferior | 33 | |
| 8450663948 | Axial | Head, neck, torso and trunk | 34 | |
| 8450664441 | Appendicular | Upper and lower extremities | 35 | |
| 8450694066 | Balance of Body Functions | - Survival depends on the maintenance or restoration of homeostasis - Cell lives in an internal environment made up mostly of water combined with salts and other dissolved substances - Feedback loops the body uses negative feedback loops, and less often positive feedback loops to maintain or restore homeostasis. | 36 | |
| 8450755997 | Negative Feedback Loops | Oppose a change in a controlled condition Ex: Maintain proper body temperature | 37 | |
| 8450758183 | Positive Feedback Loops | Temporarily amplify the change that is occurring Ex: Uterine contractions before the birth of a baby, formation of a blood clot. | 38 | |
| 8450852322 | Maintaining balance of body functions | - Related to age - Peak efficiency during young adulthood - Diminishing efficiency - occurs with aging (older). | 39 |
