064 Anatomical Planes and Spatial Relationships in the Human Body

Leslie Samuel introduces anatomical planes and spatial relationships crucial for understanding neuroanatomy. The video covers coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes, and explains spatial terms like superior, inferior, rostral, and caudal. It also discusses how these terms shift in meaning when applied to brain anatomy. The video concludes with an invitation to explore more resources on interactive-biology.com.
