Termini Generales
Medianus:
● Situated at or nearer to the median or midsagittal plane.
Cranialis:
● Situated at or nearer to the cranium.
Caudalis:
● Situated at or nearer to the tail.
Rostralis:
● Situated at or nearer to the nose.
Apicalis:
● Situated at or nearer to the apex.
Basalis:
● Situated at or nearer to the base.
Medius:
● Situated at or nearer to the midline.
Axialis:
● Situated at or nearer to an axis.
Volaris:
● Situated at or nearer to the palms.
Regiones et Partes Corporis
Linea mediana anterior/posterior:
● Vertical midline through the anterior or posterior aspect of the trunk.
Corresponds to the midsagittal plane.
Linea sternalis:
● An imaginary anterior vertical line passing through the lateral border of the sternum Linea parasternalis:
● An imaginary anterior vertical line located between the Linea sternalis and the Linea medioclavicularis.
Linea medioclavicularis:
● An imaginary anterior vertical line passing through the midpoint of the clavicle. Linea mammillaris:
● An imaginary anterior vertical line passing through the nipple. Often the same as Linea medioclavicularis.
Linea scapularis:
● An imaginary posterior vertical line passing through the inferior angle of the scapula. Linea paravertebralis:
● An imaginary posterior vertical line passing through the ends of the transverse processes. It is only visible on radiographs.
Membri Superioris
Brachium
Sulcus bicipitalis lateralis/medialis
10.5,6
:
● Grooves in the skin found on the medial and lateral aspects of the brachium formed by the biceps brachii muscle. Easily observable when the muscle is contracted.
Cubitus
Fossa cubitalis:
10.9
:
● The depression in the skin on the anterior aspect of the cubitus. It is opposing the olecranon.
Membri Inferioris
Coxa
Regio glutealis:
10.35
:
● Region overlying the gluteal muscles
Sulcus glutealis:
10.37
