Locating a Structure With Planes and Directions
Captions available
The idea
Locating a structure means naming its position along three axes: front to back, head to foot, and midline to side.
In practice
Three structures located in full.
Where people slip
A location naming only one axis is incomplete. Superior to what, and on which side, both belong in the record.
