Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

16 notecards = 4 pages (4 cards per page)

Intro to Health 1

front 1

inferior

back 1

indicates a position lower than another structure. It is crucial for understanding the vertical relationships within the body.

front 2

Anatomical positions

back 2

The standard position used in anatomy. The body is standing upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward. This position provides a clear reference for describing locations of structures in the body.

front 3

Superficial

back 3

Refers to structures closer to the surface of the body. Important for describing wounds or conditions affecting the body.

front 4

Mid saggital plane

back 4

the plane that divides the body into equal left and right halves, running through the midline. It is essential for understanding symmetric structures in human anatomy.

front 5

sagittal plane

back 5

a vertical plane that divides the body into left and right parts, If the division is equal, it is called the mid-sagittal plane.

front 6

posterior

back 6

refers to positions situated toward the back of the body. It is essential for accurately describing anatomical relationships.

front 7

Lateral

back 7

Referes to a position further from the midline. It is important in understanding arragements of structures within the body.

front 8

Coronal Plane (frontal plane)

back 8

A vertical plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts. It is used to describe locations and movements concerning the front and back.

front 9

body planes

back 9

imaginary lines that divide the body into sections. They help in understanding anatomy by providing a framework for locating structures and describing movements.

front 10

superior

back 10

Refers to a structure that is higher than another structure in the body. It helps describe positions in relation to other anatomical landmarks.

front 11

distal

back 11

Indicates a position further from the point of attachment. This term helps clarify anatomical descriptions in limbs.

front 12

Deep

back 12

Describes positions further away from the body surface. Used to discuss layers of tissues or structures located inside the body.

front 13

Medial

back 13

Indicates a position closer to the midline of the body. Useful for articulating the location of internal organs and their relations.

front 14

Transverse plane (horizontal plane)

back 14

A horizontal plane that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts. It is often used in imaging techniques to view the body in cross-section.

front 15

proximal

back 15

Describes a position closer to the point of attachment of a limb or body part. It is vital for discussing structures in appendages.

front 16

Anterior

back 16

Describes a position located toward the front of the body. It provides context for describing the locations of organs and structures.
