Types of Anatomical Term of Direction? | Anatomy & Physiology Medical medical coding course (Ep-79)

In this video, we do a deep dive into all the Types of Anatomical Terms of Direction – Anterior, Posterior, Superior, Inferior, Medial, Lateral, Proximal, Distal, Superficial, Deep, Ipsilateral, Contralateral, Bilateral, and Unilateral. Each term is explained with its meaning, examples, and importance in Medical Coding. If you watched our last session on the introduction and definition of Directional Terms, this is your next step!

What You'll Learn in This Video:
1. Anterior (Ventral) – Front of the body with clinical examples
2. Posterior (Dorsal) – Back of the body with clinical examples
3. Superior (Cranial) – Toward the head with examples
4. Inferior (Caudal) – Away from the head with examples
5. Medial – Toward the midline of the body
6. Lateral – Away from the midline of the body
7. Proximal – Nearer to the point of origin or trunk
8. Distal – Farther from the point of origin or trunk
9. Superficial (External) – Closer to the body surface
10. Deep (Internal) – Away from the body surface
11. Ipsilateral – Same side of the body
12. Contralateral – Opposite side of the body
13. Bilateral – Both sides of the body
14. Unilateral – One side of the body only
15. Who uses these terms – Doctors, Surgeons, Nurses, Radiologists, Medical Coders, Physiotherapists
16. How each Directional Term is used in ICD-10-CM and CPT Coding
