    This document discusses anatomical terminology and positioning. It defines the anatomical position as standing erect with arms at the sides and palms facing forward. It then provides terms to describe anatomical planes including median sagittal, paramedian, coronal, and transverse. Location terms such as anterior, posterior, proximal, distal, internal, and external are also defined. Finally, common movement terms like flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction, protraction, and retraction are outlined.
