Hello! I’m creating this list of latin vocab mainly to help myself revise, but also for anyone else who is premed/interested in anatomy. I tried to translate as accurately as I could, but please bear in mind my first language is not English.
venter, abdomen - abdomen
membrum superius - upper limb
palma (vola) manus - palm
membrum inferius - lower limb
direction and location (torso)
cranialis - head, in the direction of head
caudalis - tail, in the direction of tail, down
ventralis - frontal, in the direction of abdomen
dorsalis - back, in the direction of back
medialis - closer to the middle
lateralis - closer to the side
superficialis - superficial, on the surface
profundus - profound, deep
rostralis - upper, frontal
direction and location (limbs)
proximalis - closer to torso
distalis - further from torso
ulnaris - closer to ulna bone
radialis - closer to radius bone
tibialis - closer to tibia bone
fibularis - closer to fibula bone
anteflexion - bend towards front
retroflexion - bend towards back
lateroflexion - bend on the side
adduction - pull towards body

The source I took these from also has a list of frequently used anatomical vocab, so if you are interested I could create another post (please let me know).
