I was given an assignment to write an essay on the anatomic view. However, I'm having difficulty differentiating between the two terms. I thought we must assume the body is facing forward, erect, palms supinated (anatomical position) in order for all the anatomical terms (anterior, posterior, etc.) to be correct? Can someone help? Thanks.

Anatomical position: The position with the body erect with the arms at the sides and the palms forward. The anatomical position is of importance in anatomy because it is the position of reference for anatomical nomenclature. Anatomic terms such as anterior and posterior, medial and lateral, abduction and adduction, and so on apply to the body when it is in the anatomical position.
