There is already an article [[Terms for anatomical location]] which covers much the same subject and could be merged with this one. Any objections? (BTW, I like this one better because of its excellent style but the other one has dozens of links to it so it might be easier to move content from here to there) Cheers, [[User:Kosebamse|Kosebamse]] 19:57 24 May 2003 (UTC) |

No problem here...Note: I like cranial/rostral in the other article as opposed to my cephalic. |

I´ve spent an hour trying to integrate the content, but somehow it didn´t work. As the other article does not specifically refer to human anatomy, it might be best to leave it the way it is, and let this article deal specifically with human anatomy. It could perhaps be renamed "terms in human anatomy" or something like that. [[User:Kosebamse|Kosebamse]] |

Thank you for your efforts, and I concur that much of the material overlaps. Since the ''anatomical position'' is a widely used phrase and a distinct device applicable to a whole corpus, I believe it should be separated from other relative or positional terms such superficial/deep, external/internal, supine/prone... I hesitated to include the last paragraph because it wandered into that area; however I was unaware of the other page at the time. [[User:KJ Sam|KJ Sam]] 05:35 25 May 2003 (UTC) |

Since those other terms are of a more general nature, they should probably go into the other article, I´ll give it a try later. Thanks for your work! [[User:Kosebamse|Kosebamse]] 07:06 25 May 2003 (UTC) |

I gave it a go on the other page, last section (Motion), and tried to preserve the existing style; see what you think and edit freely. Thank you! [[User:KJ Sam|KJ Sam]] 06:31 26 May 2003 (UTC) |

I have a question about the information contained in this article: |
|||
" |
|||
* Adduction - where there is a reduction in the angle between bones or parts of the body. This only applies to movement along the coronal plane. An example of this is where extending arms outwards as if to fly. |
|||
* Abduction - the exact opposite, with an increase in the angle. Also only applies to movement along the coronal plane. |
|||
" |
|||
What reduction in the angle between bones or parts of the body occurs during "Extending the arms out as if to fly"? This sounds like Abduction to me - an increase in the angle between the trunk and the arm. What am I overlooking here? [Timbo] |
|||
:Nothing; the article is wrong. Fixing now. --[[User:Dcfleck|Dcfleck]] 00:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC) |

== Moved movement section == |

I've moved the material under 'Movement terms' to its own article, and added a link here. This was to eliminate the duplication of much of the same material in the [[Anatomical terms of location]] article. --[[User:Dcfleck|Dcfleck]] 03:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC) |
|||
== Specificity == |
|||
I think in many instances this article is too specific. For example, there are infinitely many transverse, coronal and sagittal planes. Also, terms of comparison like superior and inferior don't refer to objects above and below the transverse plane, they just refer to things relatively closer to or further from the top of the head. [[User:Leon...|Leon...]] 01:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC) |

== Redirected == |
|||
No offense intended, but this article isn't 1/8th as useful as the location article... and as far as I can tell all the important details are already there. So rather than carry out a merge (with the connected history complications), I've simply redirected the article. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 02:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |

I have a question about the information contained in this article:
"
- Adduction - where there is a reduction in the angle between bones or parts of the body. This only applies to movement along the coronal plane. An example of this is where extending arms outwards as if to fly.
- Abduction - the exact opposite, with an increase in the angle. Also only applies to movement along the coronal plane.
"
What reduction in the angle between bones or parts of the body occurs during "Extending the arms out as if to fly"? This sounds like Abduction to me - an increase in the angle between the trunk and the arm. What am I overlooking here? [Timbo]
- Nothing; the article is wrong. Fixing now. --Dcfleck 00:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Moved movement section
I've moved the material under 'Movement terms' to its own article, and added a link here. This was to eliminate the duplication of much of the same material in the Anatomical terms of location article. --Dcfleck 03:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Specificity
I think in many instances this article is too specific. For example, there are infinitely many transverse, coronal and sagittal planes. Also, terms of comparison like superior and inferior don't refer to objects above and below the transverse plane, they just refer to things relatively closer to or further from the top of the head.
