You will see a list of drills pertaining to anatomical position, planes and regions of the body. After completing your Chapter 1 reading on this subject, perform the drills with the book closed. Each drill has a level 1 and a level 2 – try to do both. When you have completed the reading and drills, answer the following questions. Why is learning the regions of the body with their proper terminology important? How is the understanding of directional terminology important to those in the healthcare field?
