(2) You mean the superior half of your facial section? Or, if we divide your body in a sagittal plane, the left side of your frontal section?
(1) Doctor, i am feeling pain on the left side of my forehead. It's worse than a headache!
(4) That would be correct! While facial refers to your face as a whole, frontal refers to just your forehead. Superior defines something being above another. Sagittal plane describes the section passing vertically through the body, leaving us with a left and a right half.
(3) Huh? If I remember correctly from my science class, you are referring to my body as the anatomical position. And those terms would be used for directions.
(6) That is right! Posterior stands for something being closer to the back of the body. Cervical is a term that refers to the neck. Directional terms allow us to accurate describe the parts and locations of the body.
(5) So, let's say had pain on my right side of the back of my neck. Would I describe it as having pain on the posterior half of my body, on the right side of my cervical?
