Term Category: Anatomy

Lateral describes a position, direction, or structure that is situated away from the midline or the center of the body or an object. In anatomical terms, it refers to the side or outer area of a structure. For instance, the ears are located on the lateral sides of the head. Understanding the concept of lateral is essential for describing the spatial relationships between different body parts and for accurately communicating anatomical positions.
