Image for anterior view

anterior view

The anterior view refers to the perspective of viewing an object or body from the front. In anatomy, this means looking at the front side of a body or anatomical structure. For example, if you were to view a person face-to-face, you’re seeing them from an anterior perspective. This term is often used in medicine and biology to describe the location of structures, helping to differentiate them based on their position relative to the front (anterior) and back (posterior) of the body. It's essential for understanding anatomy, movement, and medical conditions.
