CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Anatomic terminology is used daily in veterinary hospitals to facilitate communication among members of the veterinary staff. It also allows accurate information to be recorded in patients’ medical records. For example, the location of a laceration or bone break, the correct position of an animal for a radiograph, or the site of a surgical incision can all be described using anatomic terminology. It is extremely important that anatomic terminology becomes part of your everyday vocabulary.
INTRODUCTION
Suppose you are an astronaut on board the space shuttle shortly after launch and you hear the commander tell the pilot that MECO was about to occur before SRB sep. Should you be concerned? To answer you have to know what the terms “MECO” and “SRB sep” mean.† They seem as foreign to us as anatomic terminology probably seems to an astronaut or rocket scientist, yet both allow quick, accurate communication of important facts.
ANATOMIC PLANES
Anatomic planes describe imaginary slices through animal bodies (Figure 1-1 and Box 1-1). We use them as reference points to describe positions, or to indicate how a part of the body is being viewed. Each of the three basic planes is oriented at right angles to the other two. The three basic planes are the dorsal plane, which divides the body into dorsal (top) and ventral (bottom) parts; the transverse plane, which divides the body into cranial (front) and caudal ...
